We will learn about two new sight words this week: out and who. We will be practicing the phonograms (-ed, and -en). Keep practicing these at home as well.

On Wednesday morning, we will be heading to the Lowry Nature Center in Victoria. This is part of our ongoing study of trees, the kids will be learning about maple syrup! There is still room for one more parent volunteer to ride the bus with us, or you are welcomed to meet us there. Just e-mail or call if you are interested.

There should be a form coming home on Monday if you'd like your child to have their spring picture taken. We will not be doing a class picture and only the kids who return the form by Friday will be getting their pictures taken.

Have a great week!

This week we are learning about the letter E and our new sight words are we and want. We are practicing using describing words in our writing this week. Our new vocabulary words are treasure, sturdy, worth, compliment, confer, and mingle.

The students have been very good helpers with taking care of our goldfish and guppies. We've been doing lots of observations and will label the parts of a fish picture this week. Joel and Alec have even spent some time trying to teach the fish how to do tricks!
