Dear Parents:
Welcome
back from Spring Break. It sounded
like everyone had an enjoyable week off.
It was fun to hear all the stories and details on Monday. As a class we discussed the fact that
we are now in the last quarter of the year and the expectations for these final
weeks.
The
major focus of our week has been on learning about Famous Americans (many whom
will be represented in our Wax Museum) as well as several other
individuals. In the reading and
research the children were answering questions similar to those they had
answered for their own Wax Museum note cards. Overall, the children did a good job on their
initial note cards. In reviewing
the cards many did require additional details to make the “story” more
interesting. With the changes
made, the children have begun to practice with each other in class. We will continue to work on this
project in class Monday and have a full dress rehearsal on Tuesday
afternoon.
In Math this week we
continued our work with fractions and plan to test this unit out late next
week. We also began reading about
medicines, and drugs in Health.
Science will begin to focus on force, motion and Simple Machines. Next week we will begin our Social
Studies unit on Explorers. As you
can see, there continues to be much to learn in the coming weeks.
With the spring sports
starting up, I would like to ask for soccer, baseball, lacrosse, and softball
schedules. I know games are a
couple of weeks away, but I would appreciate schedules when you get them. Lastly, please be sure to look over the
upcoming activities and mark your calendars accordingly.
I hope everyone will be
able to join us for the Wax Museum on Wednesday April 10th from 2-3
pm. The children have worked hard
this past few weeks and I am excited to see them share what they have learned
with you.
Sincerely
Mrs.
DiNardo
