Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and got a chance to enjoy the beautiful weather. As we see the weather getting a lot warmer, it may not be a bad idea to have a water bottle at school. This will help prevent getting dehydrated and ill.
Only 10 words this week. Next week will be our last week for word wall words.

We learned more about the Acadian unit today. First, we reviewed that they are on the East coast of Canada (and some of us have been out that way) and that they hold many traditions like lobster fest, watermelon eating contests, and wood chopping contests. We learned that one of their biggest traditions is telling folktales. A folktake is a story that has been passed down to children, grandchildren, and so on. To end the day, we started writing our very own folktales!
**Can you tell me a story or two of something that has happened either before I was born or when I was little?
In math, we started double digit subtraction. It can be very difficult to remember subtraction, not addition, and there aren't as many strategies to help answer the questions quickly and easily, but we did come up with about 8 altogether.
