I hope everyone enjoyed their spring break. We got off to a great start last week with our attendance being back to normal. I’m hoping the “Great Sickness” has disappeared and we are all healthy and well.

With our “Texas Our Texas” Readers Theater and Texas history unit concluding before spring break, we have moved onto a new science unit about Pond Life and the lifecycle of the frog.  We will be observing, reading, and learning about this for the next couple weeks. In reading, last week and the coming weeks, we have focused on meaning and comprehension of what we read. This includes, character analysis, problem and solution, main idea, and analyzing details through true & false, fill in the blank, and multiple choice. Last week and the upcoming week in math, we are counting coins; pennies, nickels, dimes and some quarters in collections. This is a VERY hard concept for the students and should be practiced at home regularly. The students will also receive 5 new spelling words again this week.

Some upcoming dates for you are as follows:

April 6 Kindergarten Round-Up     April 21 Easter Party @ 11:30     April 29  Author’s Tea @ 11:30

You will receive more information on these as time gets closer. Thanks for everything and get in touch with me if you need me.

Mrs. Benson
