Friday News for week of March 17-21

This Week:
To look forward to character parade, our reading strategy is character! We try to see what our characters look like, what they feel, what they do, what they say - all about characters! In relation, our writing strategy was WOW words, or describing words. It paints a much brighter picture in your head if you talk with describing words. 

Character Parade! We had a fun day parading around the school dressed up in our favorite character costumes! We had Franklin’s, Cliffords, princesses, Froggy, Pigeons, Lizard’s, cats, and lots of other fun characters! We also introduced ourself like we were our character, and thought of many describing words to talk about our character. 

Math - We started Unit 7 which is all about shapes! We have learned the names for the 2D shapes and the rules for a polygon. Next week we will start to learn about the 3D shapes. We have already started a Shapes Museum in our class of shapes we see everyday!

Bible: David is finally crowned king! What an amazing story his life is. We learned that because God was with him, God made his name great and blessed him in all of Israel. We also learned the amazing fact that David is part of Jesus’ family line!

TOMORROW: BAZAAR!!!! Tomorrow is Bazaar! Thank you for all of the parents who have signed up to work. If you are working, please make sure to bring your own apron and bandana for your head. Please come prepared to work with a smile on your face! We will be set up in the Cathedral area outisde the cafeteria.
