Hero-Up Field Day!!!

Thank you to our homeroom mom, Kate, for all the time she has spent on helping with our school’s Spring Fling. Thank you to the Schulze family for our awesome baskets. And thank you to the families who donated money towards our baskets.

We had SUCH a great Field Day! We were lucky to have beautiful weather and a smooth busy day. Field Day is one of my favorite days of the school year. I told the kids that the most important thing I wanted them to remember during Field Day was to have fun but also show good sportsman ship. They did such an awesome job with that even when losing during some stations.

 Check out some of the superhero gear!

 During math this week, we worked on comparing numbers and drawing base 10 models. It’s so amazing to look back and see how much they have grown academically and physically since first day of school. We started comparing 2 digit numbers and then worked our way up to 3 digit numbers. I pulled a small group with me and we compared 4 digit numbers. 

I pulled out the tablets and the kids got to play on any apps on it if it was math related during math centers.

We took our sound check and the kids did pretty well on it. Next week we will study 2 new blends. The kids have gotten a lot faster in writing their sentences during VLA time. The average amount of time I give them is 20 minutes now-a-days.

This month’s calendar will have a “May Fun Calendar” attached on the back. Each day in May, first celebrates a certain theme. Please stop by the classroom and sign up for an item to help for the May fun! We need volunteers to help sign up for popcorn, watermelon and animal crackers.
