Long i as Y

There will be opportunities for your child to purchase EXTRAS at the zoo (souvenirs, ice cream, train ride, etc.). If you would like for your child to have these things, please send them with money in a Ziploc baggie.

 

Also, if you are sending in a sack lunch for your child, please make sure EVERYTHING is in a disposable container. We would like for them to be able to toss everything after lunch, that way they won’t have to carry it around all day.

 

Remember… If your child is riding back with you, we will need a note sent in by this Friday.

 

Thanks! J

 The students enjoyed a review game of around the world subtraction this week.  Many of us are working on learning to subtract faster.  Please continue working on this skill at home!  

 This week we are studying prefixes.  A prefix changes the root word to make a new work.   

 The students are taking turns reading to the class. Jenny read a fiction story to the class.   She had most of the book memorized, so we know she practiced at home.   It was a very entertaining story. 

 Connor read "Today I will Fly"  He did a fabulous job sharing this fiction story.  

 

 We are learning all about Super Y.   When Y is in a word with 3 letters or less- it makes the long I sound.  When Y is in a word that has more than 3 letters- it makes the long E sound. 

  Brody read a silly story to the class.  It was a fiction story, and he did a wonderful job reading with expression.

 Mimi Santalucia deserves extra special recognition and praise.  She will be attend the State PTA Reflection Ceremony next Saturday.   She will be receiving an award for her entry.   We all want to send out a very special congratulations to her for her hard work and effort. 

 Ethan was one of our guest readers this week.    He shared a non-fictional bug about amazing animals.    

 Zoey is modeling the BUGZ costume that we will use during our May 13th presentations.  Don't forget to send in a Red shirt before next Friday. 

 We had a great time working on Author's Purpose.  The students located tests in magazines.  They then shared if the author's purpose was to Persuade, Inform or Entertain. 

 Brody has  Summer Birthday, so we celebrated it today.   Happy "unbirthday" to Brody. 

 Make sure you ask your child to explain all the exciting Derby Lessons that we participated in today.  They really liked our pretend probability and statistics math horse lessons. 

   It was simply amazing watching all the students share their Fictional Writing stories and Toontastic cartoons.  I want to thank every parent and grandparent that attended our presentations today. 

 We enjoyed a fabulous brunch.  A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone that made this brunch possible.   We really enjoyed our special treats!!!

 

 

 We enjoyed our run for the roses in the bus circle.  Many thanks to Brody's mom for donating the roses. 

 Congratulations to Jenny for being the fastest girl in the class!

 

 Congratulations to Connor for being the fastest boy in the class!

 

Then we had a relay horse race!  So much fun!  At the end of the race, everyone received a rose for their teamwork and effort.  Way to go Team Tipton!!
