Welcome to April!

Welcome to April! In Phonics, we are working on the letter y making the /e/ sound and the /i/ sound. We are also learning about how the spelling of words can change when we add the endings -es or -ies. In Writing, we are working on what it takes to make our work look really neat. We are also learning how to give constructive criticism so that we learn from each other! In Math, we are woking on measurement. We are learning how to measure in inches and centimeters. We will learn about weight in pounds and kilograms. We'll also learn about cups, pints, and quarts. In integrated Studies, we are in our Health unit. We are learning about body care. We'll learn about how sleep affects the body, how to prevent the spread of germs, the benefits of exercise, and how to clean our bodies and our teeth. The school nurse gave us a presentation on how to care for our teeth! Our next unit in Science will teach us about soil! What fun!
