THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!  I am so feeling the LOVE.  You helped make this the best Teacher Appreciation Week EVER.  The cards, (I never considered myself zippy, but will now:) the pictures, the flowers, the candy, (I shared with my family:) the fabulous lunches everyday. It was wonderful.  I can't thank you enough.

The Bubble Guy inspired us to believe that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.  He showed us how he persisted to make a white square bubble.  Be sure to ask some of the other tricks he performed.

Our big book this week was Feathers For Lunch by Lois Ehlert.  We also listened to several versions  of the Three Little Pigs.  HE was the popcorn word.  OKE and OAT were the word family endings.  Please keep reviewing letter identification, sounds, and the popcorn words.  The students' skills are so new and need to be practiced to become automatic.
In math we worked on addition patterns, and modeling, and writing addition sentences using cubes and play-doh.  We have been practicing combining numbers to make groups of ten.  Next week we start subtraction.

 All checked out library books to be returned by May 21st.

Our buses for the zoo field trip are full.  I have three names on the substitute volunteer list.
