March 20, 2009

Hi, everyone. The first day of spring------finally. We used the word "spring" in several of our reading and writing activities today. I think we are all ready for springtime!

The first graders have been busy getting ready for their spring music program, but we still managed to get our schoolwork done. In spelling we worked on adding "s" to words, to make more than one. In math, we are very busy skip counting. Counting by 5s and 10s at home would be great practice.

The second graders continue to work on time in math. They now have experience with clocks and calendars. They have also been busy with math words involving congruent shapes (the same shape). This week's spelling lesson on the "ou" and "ow" words was difficult, but we worked hard on it.

Have a great weekend, everyone. I hope it will be nice enough for us all to be outside!
