Updates, Photos, and Reminders

•  A note was sent home today regarding our basket raffle fundraiser and the need for items for our class basket. Our class's theme is "Gardening" which is perfect since we have been working on our class garden for the past few months.

• As Earth Day is almost upon us and we continue to talk about stewardship of God's creations, we are looking for donations of plastic bottles of different shapes and sizes, old electronics that can be easily taken apart (home phones, keyboards, old motorized mini-trucks/cars,etc.), plastic/wooden serving spoons, clear Rubbermaid bins, plastic tubing, and funnels.

• Reading Program: Please ensure that your child is reading the book that I send home each week and completing one of the activities. It is also very important that you complete the reading log so that I know if your child was able to read the book independently or with help. Since I am not able to read one-on-one with each child every week, this is a great way for me to keep track of how they are doing.

• Please make sure to keep checking the "Educational Games and Apps" tab. I will be adding more to this section over the next few weeks including some Apps and tools that may be helpful if you have older children too!

• Over the last few weeks we have been trying to earn stickers towards our class reward. We decided as a class that if we could earn 10 stickers, then we would get to go to the computer lab! We got our first 10 stickers last week so we got to go to the computer lab today. Thank you again to Mrs. Lyon's Grade 3 class for coming to teach us how to log in and find games!

• We have been working on creating shapes and structures using Plasticine and toothpicks. Check out our pictures below!
