SPRING PBL PROJECT
Last week, we wrapped up our plant project and the children brought their mini gardens home. I hope they have been able to find a sunny spot for their mini-gardens and water it regularly. The children have recorded their learning in a folder which will be ready for you to view when you come to visit us on Thursday for the Open House.

READING and WRITING
This week we will finish up our "family" writing and start working on our first grade memory books. We will remember all the great things that we did in first grade and write about our first grade memories. As always, we will emphasize on neat writing along with correct capitalization, punctuation, and sentence structure.
In reading we will continue to read some of our favorite fiction books and review some important comprehension strategies. We will use the picture clues as well as the text clues to make predictions and inferences, visualize a part of the story or make connections.

MATH
We will review three-digit numbers as having a quantity of hundreds, a quantity of tens, and a quantity of ones, and represent three-digit numbers up to 130. We will compare and order three-digit numbers on an open number line and count forward to 130 from any number, and count backward within 130.
SOCIAL STUDIES
This week we will review economics and personal financial literacy. Earlier on we learned about goods and services and how some jobs produce, or make goods and other jobs provide a service. We all need money to satisfy our needs and wants, and in order to gain money we need to have jobs. But we also need to make wise choices and be smart about spending our money. We will distinguish between spending and saving and consider charitable giving.
