In April, Kindergarteners were introduced to basic addition and subtraction concepts.

April was a short month due to our "spring recess," but it was full in terms of continuing our great learning and growing in first grade.

The second graders have been reading the novel Charlotte's Web by EB White. We have been working on comprehension strategies and how the characters in the story respond to major events and challenges.

The third grade has been quite busy this month. They have been practicing and preparing for the New York State assessments in Language Arts and Mathematics.

The fourth graders primarily used the month of April to practice and review for the state exams in Math and Language Arts.

The fifth graders have been very diligently preparing for this month's state English Language Arts and Math exams, which were given over six days this month.

Lee Road's music classes have been hard at work during the month of April. Kindergarten and First grade students have been reinforcing the use of their singing voices with various echo songs, and even singing short solo lines.
