Week of April 18-22

Hello families!
Spring is always a very busy time at Phoebe Hearst. Please read below for our room 4 updates:

Important Dates

This week, 4/18-4/22: Bike, walk or carpool to school! The kids on our Nature Bowl team have put together a contest to see which classes care for our air. We have been challenged to bike, walk, or carpool to school this week. Each person who does one of these will add a tally to our class chart. At the end of the week, the class with the most tallies will earn a free dress day.

Friday, 4/29: Room 4 to work in the PH garden, 10:15-10:45am. Please let me know if you'd like to join us.

Wednesday, 5/25: Open House in the evening. This is a fun night when families come visit the school and kids get to show off all their hard work.

Tuesday, 6/14: Kinder play day, 9-12 on the baseball fields. Please mark your calendars! We are hoping to have lots of parent helpers that day. All parents are invited, and we will have a picnic lunch at 11. More info to follow.

Language Arts
This week we are working on elements of stories in our comprehension and writing lessons. Kids should be able to identify the characters and setting of a story, and be able to  tell some of the important events, including the problem and solution. For now we are working on writing several short stories. We are working up to writing a longer story that kids will publish and share with peers.

Math
today we will take our test on position words. Tomorrow we will begin chapter 16, "Analyzing, Comparing, and Composing Shapes".

Thanks for reading! Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions or concerns.
