A note went home today about the Easter Party we will be having on Thursday, March 29th at 12:00. Your child has been assigned an item to bring by Wednesday, March 28th. They will also need to bring 12 plastic filled eggs by Tuesday, March 27th. Tape and number the eggs 1-12, then put your child’s first and last name on the 12th egg only. Please, NO peanut products as there are children with peanut allergies. We will also need 2-3 parent volunteers to hide eggs and 2-3 parents to help set up snacks in the classroom. Please indicate on your child’s note if you would like to help. Don’t hesitate to call or send a note if you have any questions.

Reading– Today we started our PBL (Project Based Learning) on the 3 R’s (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) and conservation. Our driving question is: Why are the 3 R’s important and how do they keep the earth clean and protected for future generations? We are going to be learning a lot about recycling and conservation for the next 5 weeks.

Math– This week we will begin learning about how to tell time on a digital and analog clock. We are reviewing time to the hour, half hour and quarter hour. Next week we will begin telling time in 5 minute increments and then the following week we will begin telling time to the minute.
