Happy Spring Break!

We hope that you enjoy spending time with your family and making lots of great memories during the Spring Break!

It is the first day of spring! When you are outside, use your 5 senses to notice any clues that tell us what season we are in. Is it really spring outside yet?

GetEpic and Prodigy

All families have been sent an email invite to use GetEpic for free access to books online.
Students can create a puppet show, make an event map or comic book, to retell the story. They could also paint the setting of the book or draw the main character(s).
If it is a non-fiction book, they could make their own newspaper about the facts from the book. Have fun!

Students may also continue to practice their math skills on Prodigy. We choose the skills that your child will be working on in Prodigy. If you need your child's login information for Prodigy, please email Mr. Butler or Mrs. Tjostheim.
Currently, students are working on comparing numbers (greater than, less than, equal to) and will be moving on to composing and decomposing numbers up to 20.

Free Writing

Here are some samples of our free writing. When we are working in our journals and come up with an idea for free writing we add it to our Ideas Page. Then when we have free writing, we pick one of our ideas and write about it. Ask me how I know if I did a good job!!!

Event Mapping

We organize our thinking using Event Maps:
