Dear Families,
Today we talked about colors and discussed how colors make us feel.
It was neat to see all of the different responses! For example, some of our kids said red made them feel angry or mad, while others said red makes them feel happy or excited!
We reviewed how having questions about our stories was important and helps us learn.
We practiced sounding out words to write them correctly.
We wrote about rainy days in writing workshop and illustrated a rainy scene to go with our stories!
We talked about weight in math and practiced weighing objects on a balance. We saw heavy objects make the balance go down and lighter objects make the balance go up!
We watched a video about rainbows before we went to library!
It was a great day!
Reminders:
Please return report card envelopes signed on Monday if you still have it!
Next Wednesday is Spring pictures!
Next Thursday is a late start day!
