We had a great
week before our spring vacation! We did a lot!
In Math, we learned Collect $1.00 to help us count and trade coins to record. We
also played Get to 100 on the hundred chart to help add number strings that add
up to 100. We filled in missing numbers on the hundred chart too and learned Unroll A Square
which helps with subtraction.
In Social Studies,
reviewed rupees and learned about the Taj Mahal. We made our own sketches of
this famous building and they came out beautifully. We also heard from Mrs.
Jones who visited India
one summer. It was very interesting! We also watched some video clips from India and saw
some of the schools in different parts of the countries. We wrapped our unit by
learning about India ’s
flag and we brainstormed all the things we had learned! They learned a lot and
then made a peacock with 5 facts.

The students presented
their sports biographies to the class. They were very creative and had nice
facts.
On a personal
note, I shared with the students today that my husband Chris and I are
expecting a baby October 1st. They were all very excited by this news and even
predicted what we would be having and gave me some name advice. J
I hope you have a
safe and restful vacation week!
School starts again on Monday, April 22nd.
