Earth Day

Earth Day is April 22^nd this year, so this week we discussed Earth Day in every class. We watched You Tube videos about recycling and the importance of the three R’s. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

We watched Peppa Pig – Recycling in Pre-K and Kindergarten.

In First and Second Grade, we watched Charlie and Lola – Look After Your Planet.

We watched Reduce, Reuse, Recycle to Enjoy a Better Life in 3^rd, 4^th and 5^th grades.

Next week we will continue with our Earth Day theme by having students create a public service announcement about protecting our environment. They will work in small groups using I pads and an app called Chatter Pix to create their PSA’s.

National Library Week

This week was National Library Week, so some of the books I read had the library or reading as a major aspect of the book. In addition, all of the books I read this week were new books that we recently received.

In Pre-K, I read Shake the Tree by Vignocchi.

In Kindergarten, I read Don’t Blink! By Amy Krouse Rosenthal.

In First Grade, I read A Hippy-Hoppy Toad by Peggy Archer.

For Second Grade, I read Rhyme Crime by Jon Burgerman.

For Third Grade, I read The Magician’s Hat by Malcom Mitchell.

For Fourth Grade, I read I Can Be Anything! Don’t Tell Me I Can’t by Diane Dillon.

Fifth Grade was unable to come to the library this week due to STAAR testing.
