Update from Ms. R

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all the Moms a very happy Mother's Day! We hope that you enjoy your handmade gifts. The children were very sweet when writing their cards to you.

Thank you to all the families who attended Math Night on Thursday evening this week. It was wonderful to see everyone enjoying the math displays and activities. Remember math is everywhere!

The homework for this week is to write a story (fiction or non-fiction) in the homework writing journal. The story should have something to do with caterpillars/butterflies (as a connection to our new science unit). There is also a math worksheet with questions from our unit on probability and a fun dot-to-dot activity. This homework is due on Friday, May 13th.

Let the games begin! Tuesday was our Track and Field Day.

On Monday, the class attended an Asian Heritage Month assembly.

Here is our class presentation for the Science Fair this week. Plants have used green chlorophyll, in the process of photosynthesis, to capture the energy of the sun (to make sugar or glucose and oxygen) for millions of years. Humans can also capture the energy using solar panels (to make electricity) but these were only invented about 60 years ago.
