We have been working so hard this week!
This week we continued to become better writers by focusing on voice and word choice. We read a lot of great books this week and my students have become OBSESSED with Mo Willems. The obsession has been brewing all year but it is in full force now! We have been reading as many Mo Willems books as we can get our hands on and every day we love him more. If you aren't familiar with him, I highly recommend checking him out. I have to admit, I just ordered four more of his books for our classroom.
We spent a lot of time in Cara Carroll's I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream unit. We wrote ice cream similies, invented our own new ice cream flavor, and wrote narrative stories about what we would do if we were Ice Cream King or Queen. And... what better way to wrap up the week than by eating a little bit of the tasty inspiration?!?!?

MUSIC PERFORMANCE
Please join us next Friday night for the Willard East Spring Music Performance. Each grade level will be performing in this Broadway themed show. The show will be at Willard High School and will start at 7:00PM in the gym. Students should arrive at 6:45 and look for me. Your child will sit with me and Mrs. Whisler on the bleacher side of the gym. Parents, friends, and family members will sit on the chair-back side of the gym. I will be leaving a little early but Mrs. Whisler will be sitting with the class and you will pick your student up from her. All students need to wear their Friday shirt for this concert. If you cannot locate the shirt, please dress your child in jeans and a black shirt.
COSTUMES FOR COMMUNITY
Next Friday is also our April Costumes for Community day. The theme will be to dress like your favorite teacher.
SUBTRACTION FLUENCY
We have been practicing subtraction for the past couple of weeks and next week we will begin subtraction timed tests. We will be using the subtraction Rocketmath pages but each child will have four minutes to complete the page. We will also continue doing our regular addition Rocketmath as well.
Ask your child about… the water cycle, being Ice Cream King / Queen, the flavor of ice cream they would invent, Futaba (new iPad app), and playing Boggle.
