It's Great to be Back!
We are so excited to be back at school after Easter Break! This week in reading we aren't doing our normal routine. Instead, we are practicing a play! We are very excited. We want to tell you what it's about but SHHHHHHH! It's a secret! We're not quite sure when we will be performing it. It will most likely be not next week, but early the following week. We will let you know in hopes that you can come and see us!
We were practicing money before break, and now we are learning about time. So far we can tell what the hour and the half hour are. We're still learning and need a little more practice. If you can practice with us at home, we'd really like it.
Our current country in Social Studies is Mexico. Yesterday we learned how to dance the cha-cha, and today we got to try some arroz con leche. Some of us liked it, and some didn't. The recipe is on the back of our Mexico books that will be coming home soon. Tomorrow we hope to try making quesedillas!
Today in religion we read the story of Jesus' First Miracle! This was at the Wedding at Cana. Jesus turned the water into wine. We are making a craft so we can pretend to do the same.
In science we are learning about one of Ms. Hermus's favorite science topics: the sun, the moon, and stars! We learned about constellations today, and don't think they make very good pictures. They are kind of confusing. We will be making our own next week. Hopefully we'll understand them better then.
On Tuesday we finally broke our cascarones! We filled them with bird seed before Easter Break. We took them outside on Tuesday and broke them over each others' heads. We know that we shouldn't usually break eggs over each others' heads. This was a special case.
We have a request as well. Today we learned about Orion's Belt. We would love the chance to see it this weekend! We know that the stars don't come out until after we're in bed on school nights, so we thought this weekend would be a great chance to see it for ourselves!
