Happy Spring!

 March 19, 2026

Unfortunately our leprechaun traps were unsuccessful! That sneaky leprechaun did sneak and steal our gold . He also played some tricks on us with our shoes!

                 



Language Arts

  • Talked about the sounds of ‘oo’

  • Made a plan to trap a leprechaun and did some writing about “How to Catch a Leprechaun”

  • Put our ideas from our brain web about why school is amazing into a paragraph making sure we had a topic sentence, details with adjectives and adverbs, and a closing sentence

Math

  • Continued to explore strategies to make adding and subtracting larger numbers easier. For adding we made 10 and went up by the next multiple of 10. For subtraction we took away the ones to get down to 10 and subtracted the rest 

.  

Social Studies

  • Had a great discussion about how the Prime Minister makes decisions that affect all of us

  • Talked about voting and had a thorough mock election about what we should do on our last day before spring break

    • Discussed the pros and cons of each activity

    • Went behind our voting booth to cast our votes

    • Counted each vote and tallied them up to see the winner (it was computer time!)

Looking ahead
