Mrs. Gomes

Thank you, families, for taking the time to attend Parent Teacher Conferences. It was wonderful to connect and talk about all the learning that is happening. We continue to work on growing as readers and writers with our Right to Read Framework and by creating writing pieces to practice extending our writing and adding details and punctuation. In Math, we continue to work on Place Value and reviewing past concepts to build on our numeracy skills. As we move into the month of April, we will be starting an Inquiry Unit all about plants. We will be learning all about plants with a structured, hands-on approach designed to foster curiosity and scientific thinking. The process involves identifying a guiding question, making predictions, conducting experiments, recording observations, and sharing results. Students will be planting plants and keeping a diary of their observations and changes as they grow. This unit will present many opportunities for classroom discussions both full class and small group. There will also be many opportunities for writing and reading activities, including an opportunity to create a book of their own all about plants and what they have learned or want to share. I am very excited to get started after Spring Break and share all their wonderful work and creations. Happy Spring everyone!
