Reading/Language Arts
The children have been hard at work completing their animal reports and doing a wonderful job.  We are looking forward to sharing our reports with family and friends at Open House.
Next week we will be reading two stories about ants, Ant, a non fiction story by Rebecca Stefoff and Two Bad Ants, a fiction story by Chris Van Allsburg.  
Focus:  recount/retell, and compare/contrast
Vocabulary:  hovered, violently, deemed, chamber, plunged


                    Imagine That !- Assembly
The children had a wonderful time using their imaginations.  Each child received a purple feather to take home.  Together with your child think of all the things that purple feather could turn into, if you used your imagination.  

Math
We will be building 3-dimensional shapes using cubes and other objects and naming 3,4,5, and 6 sided shapes.  Children will identify angles in 2-dimensional shapes.

Science
There will be a review and test on Chapter 5, Exploring Earth's Surface.
