We had a blast at our teddy bear picnic before spring break! Check out our pictures below.
Sight Words
This week we are adding three new sight words to practice. Please add to your practice at home. The words are: what, where, who.
Superkids
We started unit 8 today in The Superkids' Club! This year is just flying by! In unit 8, we will discuss K and Qu. We will read a play that the Superkids are putting on called The Glum Princess. We are going to try to do a Reader's Theater with the play next week or the week after and perform it for some first grade classes or the preschool.

This week in math we are finishing up unit 8. We will be working on the following:
- sequencing numbers
- estimation
- addition top-it
- function machines
- roll and record with two dice
- name-collection posters
- addition and subtraction games
Writer's Workshop
You will see your child's latest writer's workshop notebook come home soon. We have really been working hard on the 6+1 Traits of Writing (ideas, organization, voice, word choice, sentence fluency, and conventions). We have also been working on the 5 keys to a good sentence (capital letter at beginning, lowercase letters throughout sentence, finger spaces between words, sight words spelled correctly, ending marks at the end of sentence). We are proud to show off their great work!

Book Order
The April Scholastic book order is going home in folders on
Monday. This will be the last book order for the school year, so stock up! I don't like to order in May for fear the books won't arrive in time before school is out!
Book It
Don't forget to return March Book-It Reading logs sometime this week! March is the last month that the program runs for the school year! I will be having the special party with those students that returned the reading log every month later in April. I will contact you about this later if your child qualifies. Thanks for reading at home! Keep reading even though book it is over!!
Spring Carnival
The Creekside Barnyard Bash is next Friday, April 21st! 5:30-8:30! Make sure to mark your calendars and come out for a lot of family fun!
Have a great week!
