Hi! We finished up our Swim/Gym/Gymnastics at the Old Town YMCA. It was great to see how much progress the kids made especially in the pool! We finished up our rainforest unit and talked a bit about Earth Day and ways we can take care of our planet. We finished up Unit 7 in Math. We will begin learning about fractions and time. We completed our first research report. Every first grader read about two different rainforest animals. They then wrote three facts they wanted people to know about the animals. We drew and painted habitats and made stick puppets of our animals. We then gave little puppet shows as we read our facts to preK and Kindergarten. It was great seeing the kids be so independent in their learning!
Please make sure that your child keeps reading over vacation. It's hard to believe we will be on our countdown to summer when we return!
