Update From Mrs. Tuma:

I wanted you to be aware that throughout the month of April I will be starting to put report card grades into Infinite Campus before I leave for maternity leave. You might get notifications of things being entered and feel free to ask any questions you have along the way, but some grades will be subject to change depending on a few of our remaining units this year.

 

Reading

This week we start our new reading unit. Students will be reading nonfiction and working in clubs to share all they learn around a topic.  

 

Writing

Our new and exciting writing unit will start this week too!!  We are excited to become Insect Experts who learn how to research, note take, and write nonfiction chapter books. 

  

Environmental Club Update:

Our last day collecting muffin bags will be April 13th. We will be mailing them out soon after. 

Thank you for turning them in and making it a successful environmental project!

‘Egg’cellent Egg Crack Off

 Students at NDLC will be participating in an Egg Crack-off. Please send a hard-boiled egg in a container to school with your child on Wednesday, April 13.  Eggs cannot have paint, crayon, marker, or film on them. Each classroom will have a contest. When two hard boiled eggs are hit only one will crack!  The winner of each classroom will then crack off against the winners from other classes while the rest of the school watches. It’s an “egg-cellent” time for all! 

Photos from last week!

Students enjoyed brownies from Mrs. Tuma on April Fools Day

An ice-cream treat for reaching our Knowledge-a-thon goal from last month!

We mailed out letters to our favorite authors giving them our opinions. We are hoping for a few responses before the school year is done!

In Leader in Me we were learning about teamwork this week. We built chairs in a group of 3 with the goal for them to be able to lift their feet!

Last week students applied for a classroom leadership role that they will have for the remainder of the school year. They had to write to give me reasons why they would be the best fit for their job and these were the results!
