Principal's Pride...

Angel S.
Angel has adjusted well to his new first grade class! We're so happy to have him!

Mason H.
Mason is a funny guy! He cracks me up every afternoon as we walk down the hall to the daycare buses!

In Reader's Workshop...
We are studying historical fiction! Today we read Almost to Freedom, a book written from the point of view of a doll as she witnessed injustice. Tomorrow we will read Apples to Oregon, a book about a pioneer family's journey across the plains.

In Writer's workshop..
We got our writing folders ready for our new lessons and the students will have their Small Moments stories in their Monday folders. Please keep in mind these are all rough drafts.

In Word Work...
We are studying verbs!

Spelling words: verb, swimming, running, jumping, playing, walking, strolling, hiking, skating, cooking
Challenge words: Rainforest, Desert

In Math..
We completed our unit assessment on Fractions after a review today. Please remember I keep all of their assessments in a folder that you are always welcome to come and review.

In Science...
We are learning about animals in their habitats! Last week we learned about the Rainforest and this week we will be learning about animals that live in the desert, artic regions, coral reefs and plains.
*Animal projects are due tomorrow! We can't wait to hear what everyone learned!

Have a great week!
Mrs. Caballero
