Happy Tuesday!
We worked hard this morning to apply our knowledge of place value to break numbers into their expanded form, and unit forms.  We worked to add these numbers together and create representations using models on a place value chart.

Students worked to connect our food chain activity from Friday to energy flow in an ecosystem.  They were able to link our activities to our line of inquiry: Connections between organisms within an ecosystem.  Ask your child to tell you more!

As we continued our read aloud of Tiger Rising, students were challenged to become a character in the book.  There was even some acting!  Our risk-takers volunteered to act out the chapter as I was reading, but they couldn't use their voices.

We hope you can join us this Friday for our F.AVE Family Picnic!  It is from 5-8pm, and we will have food trucks available for dinner!  A portion of the sales will go to our PTO.  Everyone will get a free Sno-ball, and there will be a DJ!  See you there!

Don't forget to send in your zoo field trip permission forms and money, as well as book order forms for our author's visit.  Also, if you would like to chaperone our field trip, please e-mail me.  I am looking for 5 now.  Only two chaperones can join us on the bus, but the others can meet us at the zoo.
Have a great evening!
