Daily Update:
Today marked the first day of fishing season in New Brunswick, and there was definitely some excitement in the air! Keep an eye out for a memo this week about our class heading out on a fishing adventure soon. This morning, we had a chat about tightening up our routine—now that we’re in the final stretch of the school year, we want to finish strong, not slow down! Our spelling focus was on silent consonant combinations: kn, wr, and mb, with words like knee, wrote, wrist, and thumb. Our "Show, Not Tell" sentence was: “She liked to read.” We completed a maze about having guests in the afternoon and continued building our personal narratives. Today’s focus was on writing clear beginnings using four key parts: when, who, where, and what. Many students made excellent edits—and some even earned a Responsible Choice!

Math:
Grades 1 and 2 continued their place value review with another oral listening activity. Understanding place value is critical for addition, subtraction, and beyond! Grade 3s stretched their mental math skills by working with four-digit numbers. We finished math early and headed off to guidance before lunch.

Guidance:
Mrs. Robichaud focused on friendship skills—always a great refresher as springtime brings lots of social energy! We also worked on some top-secret card projects for the end of the month. Shhh!

PE:
We warmed up with basketball and then pulled out a crowd favorite—the parachute! No matter how old you are, it’s hard not to smile when the parachute comes out in gym!

Roots of Empathy:
Allison Casey visited us and led a conversation about communication. We read a beautiful Korean story called Dear Juno and even made little drawings for Baby Kade. Allison surprised us with a sweet Easter treat—Cadbury eggs! Judging by the reactions, they’re just as popular with the students as they are with me. Thank you, Allison!

End of Day Routine:
We ended the day on a high note with a special donut treat, thanks to everyone being respectful during our guest visits. We wrapped things up with French vocabulary, signed our Home to School books, packed up, and got ready for dismissal.

Picture of the Day:
Spring is on the way, and we’re leveling up our basketball skills—outdoor court domination coming soon!
