  Our classroom is designed to allow the students to explore letters and numbers on a weekly basis through art, science, math and literacy experiences. We offer a weekly Spanish class taught by our Spanish teacher that includes stories, vocabulary and learning how to count. Every week our eight grade class comes over to visit and share stories and books with each student.We also participate in P.E. class once a week. Our first full week is off to a great start. Our theme this year is Super Heroes. We are looking at what virtues Super Heroes possess and instilling these values throughout the year. For the month of April we will be exploring the season of spring and begin our dinosaur unit. We will listen to stories from Eric Carle and  incorporate this in  language arts, science and math. We will end the month with planting some seeds for summer
