Highlights of Our Week

Hello families,

What a whirlwind week it's been! The Fox Kits have been working hard and showing so much HEART! We filled our heart jar again this week and celebrated in the lovely weather playing and building fairy houses outside together.

In math we had a few days of "good fit" math practice in preparation for our end of unit assessment on Thursday. Next week we'll begin our Geometry unit that will feed into our final PBL (project based learning) adventure in June.

Writers have been excited by our newest writing genre: realistic fiction. They are working on writing stories that have: a clear beginning, middle and end; a problem with a solution; and a satisfying ending. Many students are working on writing a series of books on the same characters! This week we continued to read from the Henry and Mudge series by Cynthia Rylant. This week we read: The Cold Shivers, Sneaky Crackers, The Forever Sea, and The Tall Tree House.

We had a special event this week -- we saw the 4th/5th grade performance of The Wizard of Oz! It was so fun to see this show. On Friday afternoon we did a special Mother's Day project too-- hope you all enjoy it at home!

Principal Sara also surprised us on Thursday with popsicles for our outstanding behavior during the fire drill on Wednesday! What a fun surprise!
