SPRING PBL PROJECT
This week we are finalizing our Nontraditional Garden Project. We have been recording the growth of our plants in our seed journal and we are also planning a final destination garden for our plants. During this project we've researched the idea of community gardens. We found a resource here in Austin called "Food is Free". The idea behind this movement is to encourage communities to plant a garden or gardens for all to share. The initial idea was to create front yard gardens in your neighborhood to encourage sharing among neighbors. My wish is that your family will consider a way to nurture the ideas we have discussed and find a way to cultivate your own garden.

READING and WRITING
This week we will finish up our "family" writing and start working on our first grade memory books. We will remember all the great things that we did in first grade and write about our first grade memories. As always, we will emphasize on neat writing along with correct capitalization, punctuation, and sentence structure.
In reading we will continue to read some of our favorite fiction books and review some important comprehension strategies. We will use the picture clues as well as the text clues to make predictions and inferences, visualize a part of the story or make connections.

MATH
We will review three-digit numbers as having a quantity of hundreds, a quantity of tens, and a quantity of ones, and represent three-digit numbers up to 130. We will compare and order three-digit numbers on an open number line and count forward to 130 from any number, and count backward within 130.
SOCIAL STUDIES
This week we will review economics and personal financial literacy. Earlier on we learned about goods and services and how some jobs produce, or make goods and other jobs provide a service. We all need money to satisfy our needs and wants, and in order to gain money we need to have jobs. But we also need to make wise choices and be smart about spending our money. We will distinguish between spending and saving and consider charitable giving.
