Dear Parents:
WOW!!!! Spring has certainly sprung!! What a beautiful week we have had this week. The children have truly enjoyed being able to spend recess and PE soaking up the fresh air and sunshine. Let’s hope it remains sunny for weekend.
The major focus of our week has been on our Wax Museum notes. I am pleased to say all the children were able to finish reading their books and note packets by Wednesday. We were able to spend class time taking the notes and turning them into stories. These stories will now become the basis for the presentation note cards. While some of these cards will be done in class, the children will have to make sure all cards are completed by Wednesday, March 21st. We have continued our study of Mali in Social Studies and solids, liquids and gas in Science. It is my hope to wrap up both of these units prior to Spring Break. Please check your child’s assignment notebook for test dates.
We were able to get outside and plant or AFAC garden today. Our class has planted lettuces for this project. We will be monitoring the plant’s progress and hopefully will be able to have our first harvest of these early crops right after Spring Break. We will also be planting potatoes and some herbs to be donated to the AFAC food bank.
As you know our class will be going to the White House on Thursday, March 22nd. There is an additional flyer about this special field trip in the Friday Folder. Please take a few minutes and review this flyer as it goes into further detail about the trip.
I hope everyone enjoys the lovely weather this weekend.
