Party for Celebrating Mrs. Sanders:
On April 17th we will celebrate Mrs. Nelda Sanders and her 50 years of dedication to education. We will honor her with a come and go reception in the library beginning at 3:30 p.m. We are collecting memories, stories, and photos of Nelda from over the past 50 years. You can either share in the linked form or write a memory on any kind of stationary. You can deliver to Caraway Elementary or bring with you the day of the celebration. We look forward to hearing from you! If you have any questions, please email [email protected].
If you would like to participate, our celebration is a "Groovy 60's" theme (students may dress in 60s attire at school on April 17th). No gift needed, your presence is gift enough

This week in Reading Workshop...
We will feature a Read Aloud this week all about Chickens. We will discuss comprehension strategies such as making connections, inferring and retelling the story. We will enjoy fictional stories about chickens now that we have learned so much from nonfiction texts!
This week in Writing Workshop...
We will complete our Chick Research Project. We've collected our facts by reading from different sources of information such as books, websites and watching short videos. Now we are ready to teach others about what we learned.
This week in Science...
We will relate our study of chicken coops to different animals and examine their habitats. We will think about how the animals depend on plants and other animals to live and get shelter. We will study habitats from all over the world.
This week in Math...
We will focus on counting collections of coins. A collection of pennies is counted by 1's. A collection of nickels is counted by 5's and a collection of dimes is counted by 10's. We will also begin thinking about numbers up to 120 and find patterns on the hundreds chart. We will learn about place value by using concrete objects to represent numbers with three digits.
Have a great week!
