What's Bugging You?

Is that bug an insect, a spider or something else?  This is what we are exploring this week in the Grasshopper classroom.

We will focus on ants, spiders and butterflies.  We'll be reading about, writing about, comparing, and observing these creatures all week.  We are excited to have the opportunity to watch caterpillars become butterflies.  We hope the ants for our ant farms arrive soon.

We are practicing our problem solving strategies in math.  Our story problems are all about subtraction.

This week the upper grades are taking the CRCT.  This means schedule changes.  Mrs. Kerzie will be assisting a first grade class, and so will be out all morning.  Our specials' time has been changed to the morning.  Parents that are volunteering for centers on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday this week, need not come.  We will be doing our centers at a different time.

A note from Mrs. Whalen:

May 3 - Campus Clean-up

Come anytime between 9:00 and 12:00 to help "spring clean" our campus.  Everyone is invited.  Bring your rake, shovel, gloves, and brown paper trash bags.  The class with the highest participation will receive a flower for their teacher
