We began an author study on Eric Carle.  Our week was full of this famous author’s literature.  The children enjoy his funny story lines and use of collage to make illustrations.  We watched a movie about Eric Carle, and we learned where his ideas come from and how he makes his illustrations. 
 
        The children enjoyed our alphabet countdown to the last day of first grade.  They wore Bears clothes on “B” day, Cubs clothes on “C” day, made template designs on “D” day, exercised on “E” day, and completed a class friendship activity on “F” day.  Don't forget to wear green on Monday!! :)

We finished our bird unit today!  We completed the birds unit by listing what we learned about birds and reflecting on the entire unit.  Next week we begin an author study on Eric Carle.  


        April was National Children’s Poetry Month.  We are so lucky to have a terrific library teacher like Ms. Thorstenson!!  She came to our classroom on Thursday afternoon to do a poetry study with us.  The children were introduced to different forms of poetry and even tried writing some poems of their own.

Happy Earth Week!  Earth Day was Tuesday, and we spent the week learning how we can care for our earth.  The main focus of our week was the “three R’s”...  recycle, reduce, and reuse.  I hope the information learned in this unit will be carried over to your home.  The children are already off to a good start, as they used trash to make a new treasure.  This is a great way to reuse!!  They loved sharing their projects with our class, and we displayed them in the showcase all week.  Take a look at our Earth kids project hanging in the hallway....

This is a reminder for you that there are only two more weeks of book checkout left this year for students!  May 8th is the last day for our class to
check out books.  Please find and return any lost books, and make sure to bring books back next week so they can borrow a few new books this year before the library closes. 

Thank you!

This week we take a break from our bird unit to study the earth.  We'll spend the week learning how we can care for our planet.  The children were proud to share their trash-to-treasure projects today.  As you can see, they are on display in our showcase for all to see!
