Hello families and friends,

First we went down to our buddies' room and they had made some books that they shared with us.  We were able to ask them some questions and tell them some things we liked about the books.  We noticed that all of the books had some kind of trap door that led them into a new place.  They were also all climbing stories.  After that we learned a new dance in dance where we mostly were on the ground.  The dance is called modern dance.  After dance we did two rounds of Daily 5.

In the afternoon we started with writing.  We had thought of some characters yesterday and today we each picked one to draw on a little sheet.  Then we put these onto a ring that will be kept at the back of the room for people to look at to help them come up with ideas for their writing.  In science we drew a guided sketch of a leaf.  Then we added some labels of what we could remember about the parts of the leaf.  Then we finished our day with some math.

For parents: name one part of the leaf and what it does for the plant.  Post your answers in the comments below.

There is no school tomorrow for Good Friday.  There is also no school for students on Monday, April 6th.

Friday, April 24th, our class along with our friends and a few other classes will be presenting some work for the Peace Assembly.  We have been practicing the song "Heal the World"  which we will be performing during the assembly.  Families are welcome to come that day to watch the assembly.

Have a great long weekend,
Room 74 and Mr. Soulliere
