Our last week before spring break was a fun one! We really loved the opportunity to see The Music Man right here at Stormonth! If you didn't get a chance to come by on Thursday evening to see it, here's a link to it: https://youtu.be/tviSGnfqSDE It was spectacular! A HUGE thank you to Mrs. Murn, Mrs. Grambow and Miss Otto for all of their work with Stormonth's incredible actors and stage crew.
We finished up our poetry unit by heading to the computer lab to word process our favorite poem. Each poet then created a watercolor painting to accompany their poem.
During Math Workshop this week, we were busy reviewing and extending place value concepts and spent Friday enjoying math games with partners.

| David was quite proud when he beat me in a game of Ten Frame Top-It! |
During Science Lab this week, we explored garlic bulbs. Our focus question was "How Does a Bulb Grow?" We planted garlic on a bed of wet cotton and can't wait to see if new plants will be growing when we return from spring break!
 |
| We had a close look at garlic bulb. |
 |
| After putting stretched cotton balls and water in our cup, we placed our garlic cloves in, pointy-side up. |
 |
| Then we wrote about our process. |
On Friday afternoon, we did a little bit of spring cleaning!
When we return from spring break, we'll begin our character units in Readers' and Writers' Workshops. We'll also begin a new math unit where we'll be learning about representing, organizing, and interpreting data.
I hope you all have a safe and enjoyable spring break! See you all on April 3rd.
Until then...
