VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!! WE NEED HELPERS! Please Email Erin, [email protected], if you are available.
Thursday, March 21st: First day of spring in the garden. 1-2 (Barns) / 2-3 (Violet Greens).
We have upcoming trips to the Bird Alliance of Oregon (formerly Audubon, 4/25) and Fernhill Wetlands (5/2). Stay tuned for details!
Class News: Last week we began reading books that were nominated for the Patricia Gallagher Award so that we can vote for our favorite. We learned about birds and read bird books. On Thursday we played games in The Backyard to learn about swallow nesting habits and needs. We began looking at our Backyard Garden space so that we can plan improvements that will attract and sustain swallows as they return for the spring. We have been continuing to write imaginative narrative stories. In math, first graders worked on place value (tens and ones). They grouped by tens and counted a collection of over 100 items. We counted the value of dimes and pennies. They added and subtracted multiples of ten with a two-digit number. First Graders may now complete assignments through Module 5 Lesson 6. Second graders completed assessments. Second Grade students can complete any pages in their Module 3 homework books. New 2nd grade math homework books were sent home and we will begin Module 4 this week. They will have new pages assigned next week.
