Week of March 24-28

Dear families,

Happy Spring! We have had another busy week in room 166, doing St. Patrick day-themed activities. In the Science centre we discovered what solution would turn brown pennies into "gold" (vinegar and salt). I think the children really loved this activity. In math we did a rainbow skittles graph and count by sorting and then adding different coloured skittles. We also counted "gold" (pennies). In literacy, we read and wrote St. Patrick's. Day words and made a booklet. This weekend's homework is to do the sheet "If I caught a rainbow of my very own..."

With our reading buddies we started writing a booklet called "I Know it's Spring." We are learning the poems/songs "Leprechaun, leprechaun," "M-A-R-C-H" and "Like a Lion."

On May 2 we are welcoming our Artist in the classroom. If you would like to volunteer for this day please let your grade parent know. 5 volunteers are requested. Thank you!

Thank you to our Mystery Readers Lola (Izzie's sister), Jake's dad, Quentin's mom, and Kai B.'s dad. Thank you to Lexa's mom and Quentin's mom who did the white bags and snuggle books.

This month's scholastic order is due on March 31. Thank you!

This week we will start our new Spring-themed folder.

I hope you have a wonderful week!
