Happy Spring!

What a beautiful day we have been blessed with! I am hoping this weather sticks around a while longer!

Today we continued talking about compound words.  As you read with your child, draw attention to compound words from time to time. This will help students retain this concept.

We wrote in our journals about what we would do if we had a pet dinosaur. Students had to use adjectives to make the sentences more interesting.  Needless to say, I had a few chuckles while editing journals today!

Don't forget to study for the math test tomorrow! I know it will be difficult to stay on task with this beautiful weather! Hopefully everyone will get the chance to go outside!

If you have shoe boxes at home, please send them to school with your child. I only have three shoe boxes right now.  I may be taking a trip to buy some new shoes! :-) Obviously I'm kidding! We'll just wait to do the project until we collect enough shoe boxes!

I hope you've had a great first day of spring!
