Kindergarten News
The Kindergarten students have been watching
videos and learning about about Japanese children attending school.
They have had a chance to see a doll fish windsock in our room, and
I could tell that everyone seemed delighted with the Japanese theme
kit.
The Africa theme kit was also well received
by everyone. It was rich in children's stories and videos on African
animals. The students really liked the stories about "Anansi the Spider" and "Why
Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears."
We thank the Central Office Media Library
for giving us the opportunity to enrich our learning with these kits.

Barb's 1st and 2nd Grades
We are working very hard adding three numbers
and double digits in Math. In English, we are learning about writing
letters, commas and apostrophes. In Reading, we are reading harder
and harder words. In Language Arts, we are making books. We made an
elephant book, a shoe book, a book about being the President of the
United States, a book about the Magic School Bus, and all kinds of
mini books. We are having fun writing stories. We wrote one about aliens
visiting our town. Come and read our stories and look at our books.

Grades 3 and 4
There have been many absences in our classroom
due to colds, the flu and cultural
leave to attend local and area events.
In spite of the absences, the students
completed one set of reading materials and all have moved up to the
next harder set. The "Turtles" and "Armadillos" are all making excellent
progress in reading.
All the 3rd and 4th graders are working
diligently to master their multiplication tables through 12. A game
called "Mad Minute" encourages faster answers as well as having fun.
Everyone has mastered D'Nealian cursive
handwriting, which now must be used in all assignments. Recently, we
have been practicing letter-writing skills and our pen pals will be
very glad to receive our letters.
Basketball is still our favorite activity
for physical exercise in the gym. The 4th graders were recently very
excited to participate in their first basketball games at other villages.
In science, we have been observing the
local weather patterns of late winter and early spring by graphing
day to day changes.
During social studies class, our school
counselor Vera discussed the topic of tobacco usage by children and
the health issues surrounding it. She showed us colored pictures of
the human mouth after using tobacco. Our students enjoy her visits
ever month.
We wish all of you a Happy Spring Season!
