Week of May 4th - 8th

This has been my first full week back at Ide. Although I miss spending time with my daughter I have really enjoyed spending time with your children. It has been great to see all my students again. Their smiling faces and hard work makes me appreciate the great job I have. I want to thank all the parents for all of the wonderful lunches they have provided us with this week. It was nice to not have to pack a lunch everyday this week.

Due to Reading Benchmark testing I was unable to see my 1st and 2nd grade Reading groups. These groups will resume next week and I am looking forward to that.

We have been working on Chapter 15 which deals with Spatial sense. The students have been working with congruent shapes and identifying shapes that have a line of symmetry.

This week we continue to work on measuring. We measured objects in centimeters, inches, feet and yards. We also worked on perimeter and measuring area.
