Looking Back...

- Our letter of the week this week was Xx 

- We created treasure maps with an X to mark the spot, and next week we will test out our classroom mapping skills by seeing if our friend can use our map to find out hidden treasure

- We continued to observe the chicks and geese to watch them grow and change!

- In math we continued on identifying and sorting 3D shapes by similar traits 



Looking Forward...

- FIELD TRIP: our field trip to the Farm Yard is happening next week Friday May 22nd, please send your kiddo with a snack, water bottle and any weather appropriate accessories they may need (rain coat, sunhat, sunscreen etc.) 

- If you have not signed permission forms for the field trip, please have them back to me by Wednesday May 20th

- Final Book Order: I have sent home our last book order of the year. If you are interested in any books for summer, please have your order in by Friday May 29th to ensure orders arrive before the school year ends. You can visit the scholastic site and use class code: RC110977 to place orders.

- There are only 3 more weeks of library! If you have any books that need returning, please ensure they make their way back to school, notes on overdue books will be coming home over the next couple weeks ☺
