Dear Parents:
We have had
another good week of learning. We
kicked off our unit on Explorers by trying to find a hidden dollar in the area
between the Peter Rabbit Garden and the Greek Pavilion. The children enjoyed pretending to be
explorers and were able to understand how difficult the search for “gold” must
have been. We are just about
to finish our unit on Simple Machines in Science, began to discuss decimals in
Math, and began working on writing poetry in Language Arts. We also reviewed how to write a reading
journal response and reviewed new writing prompts as well. As you can see we covered a lot of
ground this week.
As we look towards
next week, we will have a full day of school on Wednesday, April 24th. In addition the children will begin
working on SOL review packets in class as part of their independent work. It our hope that the children will come
away from this review with a feeling of confidence of what they know as well as
what types of questions they will be asked. As part of our review we will also have the children
practice with some of the Internet resources available on the Tuckahoe website.
As we all know,
this is a very busy time of year both in school and at home. Hopefully the schedule of upcoming
events will help you with your calendars.
I hope everyone has an enjoyable weekend.
