The warmth and sun this week was literally a breath of fresh air!
This week we read 3 play scripts, and coordinating picture books of these fairy or folk tales, so children could choose which play or which character they'd most like to be this year. We also got to compare and contrast the picture books and scripts to notice what is the same and what is different. Our three plays will be: The Bremen Town Musicians, The Three Little Pigs, and The Little Red Hen. Ask your child which play he/she will be in! After vacation scripts will be sent home for reading fluency practice to do as homework within the 20 minutes of daily reading at home. We'll also be practicing in our play casts here at school for the month leading up to our plays on May 19th.
Students finished reading non-fiction books on their PLP topics, writing notefacts, and editing their work (checking for punctuation, capital letters where they belong, correctly spelled word wall words, and rereading to check syntax). There were some intricate questions students had about their topics that we could not find in our books. We used kiddle to help us answer the remaining queries. After vacation we'll begin to organize all we've learned into topic groups!
On Friday we had an All School Meeting where the Primary Singers performed "The Maple Tree Round" for the school. We also made fun pattern block designs and towers with our 3/4 buddies!

Today kids are bringing home all shoes/boots/outdoor gear that are in our classroom. Hopefully we'll have a warm week ahead that will melt the remaining snow and dry the ground a bit! It'll be nice to not have to wear boots and lug all of our wet weather gear back and forth for a while! Enjoy your time together, rest, relax, be healthy and have fun! I hope you all have a fantastic spring break!
