Dear Barn Swallow Families,
Last week we worked on writing Mother's Day poems. I hope that all of you enjoyed reading your child's poem! We continued learning about bees and other pollinators. We went to The Backyard garden twice last week. We planted a variety of carrots. We had yellow, white, all purple, purple with orange centers and a variety of orange ones. Friday was very warm and we spent part of the afternoon watering the Backyard garden while Mike Geraci, Pacific University professor, gathered student stories for his video project. The first graders continued measuring last week during math. They measured in inches and in centimeters in the classroom and outside. They made comparisons of lengths, and recorded measurement in numbers and units. Second graders practiced regrouping with subtraction using popsicle sticks for tens and chick peas for ones. This week students will work on regrouping problems with double digits. For math homework, students can use objects like pencils, sticks, rocks, beans, pennies etc. to represent tens and ones to go along with the practice sheet. Have your child show you how to use these objects with some subtraction problems. Homework will be coming home on Tuesday.
Reminders: Friday, May 25th at 9:45 we will have our school Talent Show. Thursday, June 7th we will go to the Tillamook Forest all day, and we need several adult volunteers to accompany us. Thursday, June 14th is Field Day. Friday, June 15th is our last day of school, and we will hold our Bridging Ceremony at Pacific University. All are welcome to attend, and it is especially recommended if your child will be bridging - headed to a new level classroom next year. If you plan on attending, please pick up Pacific University waiver forms in the office for all guests attending.
Thank you families!
Sincerely,
Sherry
