April News

It's nice to see the snow melting from our playground and signs of spring!  We have many exciting things to learn about in April.  We started to learn about reading charts and graphs today in math.  We made a class picture graph on the computer for our favorite sports.  Children also read and answered questions about other picture graphs.  Our next step is for each child to think of a topic to collect data about (favorite lunches, snack milks, chapter book, etc.) and make their own graph on paper.  Later in the month, we'll publish them using technology.

In science, we're learning about the environment.  We watched a video about fossil fuels and renewable energy and read an article in Scholastic News called "River of Trash."  View the digital copy at home if you'd like!
