Winter ends and Spring begins...Hello from our class!

We have had a busy beginning to 2013, and the amount of beautiful work continues to amaze me! Students are writing words, sentences, and just this week we began to write books! Students are learning about fiction and non-fiction selections, as well as how to go about creating a book with a cover, a beginning, middle, and end, and art that matches the text! Just look! At our penmanship!!! 

In math, we are beginning to learn 2 and 3-D Shapes! Yesterday we learned to make different sizes of rectangles by combining 2 or more smaller rectangles.
If you want to help us practice at home, check out these youtube videos by Mr. Harry:

We will soon begin working on the chapters in measurement, then Mrs. Hufstedler will supplement our learning with a unit on patterns, time, and money! Watch for new practice homework in the coming weeks! Be sure to leave a comment if you have questions or just want to share :).
