Thank goodness the weather is warming up! It started just in time for our latest science unit. We are studying the sun. Some children thought the sun was a planet, but we investigated and found out it was a star. We are observing the effect it has on the pile of snow on the playground.

The snow level has gone from 32 inches to 30. We are recording the information in our science notebooks.

Language Arts: We have been practicing all our sight words. Automaticity helps them so much when they are reading their "just right" books. Thank you for helping them practice these.

Math: The children are practicing their math facts using dice games and unifix cubes. I hope the nightly math facts practice is going well. I will send additional math facts every two weeks.

Art: The children made beautiful rainbows with pipe cleaners and model magic. We will hide them around the room in hopes of catching a leprechaun. They have also been using other materials with this effort.
