Class News:

Calling all volunteers! We really need your help putting up the rainforest.  The trees are up and now we need to hang the leaves and then the vines.  You are allowed to come any time during the day except 8:20-8:45 when we have chapel in the commons.  A great time to come is right before afternoon carpool.  The time goes faster when you volunteer with a friend so call a friend and come to the second floor. The hanging of the leaves and vines does require climbing a ladder.  If you have a fear of heights then come with a friend who is willing to climb a ladder and you can help them.  The teachers will be here to help.  We need as many parents helping as possible.

Reading/Language/Social Studies: This week our focus will be on the food the animals eat and their food chains..  We are in the process of typing our paragraphs about habitat during computer time.  We continue to work on the four layers of the rainforest by writing paragraphs, and illustrating our four layers of the rainforest paper.

Math: We continue to work on fractions.  This week we will  focus on comparing fractions, putting fractions in order from least to greatest, and naming equivalent fractions. This week our multiplication focus is 0-8.

Science: We are working on food chains in the rainforest this week.
