 Oops sorry, I got caught up in a meeting and forgot to post yesterday. 

The wonderful parent council is running a Spring Plant Fundraiser.  Check it out here https://newbrightonschool.growingsmilesfundraising.com/home https://newbrightonschool.growingsmilesfundraising.com/home


Yesterday we talked about our elephant Rama.  Students did a guided drawing and wrote 3 facts about Rama.  See if your child can recall this information. 

- What is the elephants name?  

- How old is it? 

- Where does it live? 

- Is it a boy or girl? 



You may have heard about our small group work to start the day.  Mrs. Hughes is working with small targeted groups on reading skills.  Many of us are reading short predictable books.  We are calling it guided reading time.  The rest of the class needs to work independently and we even have a new bathroom symbol so that we aren't interrupting.  How exciting that we are ready for this! 

Our April virtue is Perseverance! We came up with some examples from our lives,
- Learning to ride a bike 
- Learning the monkey bars
- Learning to skate
- Figuring out a problem solving question 
 
Today we had outdoor PE, played a dice game with a partner and tried out a new math problem solving activity. 



Which one doesn't belong and why?
