Mrs. Richards' Reports from Room 137

Easter Bunny came for a visit

MAPS testing is completed for our classroom, and my students did very well! Again, I'm so proud of their perseverance and how they demonstrated what they know.

We have some important things coming up in the next few weeks that you won't want to miss so please make sure that you check out my "Upcoming Events".

Here are some fun pictures!

MAPS Testing starts this week.  Reading will be Monday morning with Math on another day.
Please be sure your child gets a good night's sleep and a nutritious breakfast. You can send an extra snack to eat.  :)

In math, we are working on addition and subtraction, missing addends, and fact families. We are using number lines and unifix cubes as counters.

We will begin our next inquiry on PLANTS. Please send in empty 2 liter clear soda bottles for our project.
