| Thank you to everyone who dressed down today to raise money for Alex's Lemonade Stand Fund for Cancer Research. One of our students has had her own lemonade stand for 4 years and has raised hundreds of dollars for the fund. Today she did a marvelous presentation for the class, telling them all about Alex's story and challenging them to start their own stand. Go to this link Alex's Lemonade Stand to learn more about it. Our presenter also had each of the students who dressed down write their first names on a lemon sticker to show that they had donated to the cause. We also watched the video from the website and the class received a special treat (lemonade flavored Peeps!) as a thank you from our presenter. Her lemonade stand will be open on June 21st at her house on Grasmere (in the Gardens). |

| We invited Miss Agostini's class over to hear about Alex. |
 |
| Here are some of the centers we did today for Fun Friday. We practiced math vocabulary about "time" with a matching game. |
 |
| We used flashcards to practice our skills in time and money. |
 |
| We played "Buy It Right", a money skills game. |
 |
| We used the ipads to practice our math facts- we can never get too much practice. Don't forget- we will have a facts test every Thursday. This week it's +8. A student is not considered fluent with their math facts unless they memorize the facts instead of using their fingers or a number line to compute. |
 |
| We researched the body parts of a butterfly and then made our own diagram labeling the parts. We are very excited to report that all of our caterpillars are busy inside of their chrysalids, turning into butterflies! |
 |
| We listened to No T-Rex in the Library, and answered comprehension questions. |
 | |
| This week each of the students chose an insect to research and write an opinion piece about. Many are not finished so I will post the rest of the writings next week. We also decorated our lockers with Hail Mary prayers to remind us that May is Mary's month. Happy Mother's Day to everyone. I hope you enjoyed your present that the students worked so hard on. Tomorrow is the DeSales Fun Run and 5k. I hope I see some families there! |
