As the weather warms up, we will learn all about insects!  We will read many Eric Carle books, and we will learn how he makes his illustrations.  We will follow his process to create summer bulletin boards.  In our classroom, we will watch as caterpillars grow and change into painted lady butterflies, and we will create a model of the butterfly life cycle.  In math, we will continue to work with addition and subtraction, with emphasis on explaining your thinking and problem solving. 

May brings many exciting activities to Hillside.  During Theme Week, we will work with the artist-in-residence workshop and will enjoy seeing the fourth grade’s musical performance.  On Move-Up day, we will visit a first grade classroom, to learn about first grade.  We will close the month with a school wide Memorial Day observation, and our Teddy Bear Picnic.
