"Jesus rose from the dead and gave us new life."

Mark 16:1-7

Just as the children learned that a seed has to be buried and die before it becomes a flower, they will learn about something else that changes into a new life form - butterflies. They are on order and the children will see the comparison between the life cycle of a butterfly and the death and Resurrection of Jesus.

Our White Elephant Sale was a success. We raised $50.00 for the earthquake/tsunami victims in Japan. Thank you to all who sent in items to sell.

Twenty two children participated in the March Read Aloud with 422 books read. Total to date is 2,105. Thank you to all of you who returned the forms. Although the Pizza Hut program has ended, we will continue to read/record through the end of May. Please return the April Read Aloud.

We'll begin a new unit in Reading with Max Takes the Train, an animal fantasy. We'll also read about Casey Jones and discuss different ways to get places. Phonics: Jj /j/ and Ww /w/; Grammar: Questions; HF Words: yellow, blue, green. Be sure to write the words on index cards for summer review.

There will be an end of unit reading assessment later this week. Please note your child's progress, sign the sheet, and return it to me with any comments.

In Math we will work on capacity and weight to compare containers to see which holds more/less and which classroom objects are heavier than others.

We'll continue to discuss ways to keep our earth clean (starting in the classroom) and read many more books about the rain forest. Our assembly is on Friday and I hope you can attend. Your child MUST learn his/her lines. The children should wear their gym suits that day.
