Hello Wonderful Parents,
What a great turn of events with the weather! So surreal to live in this great state--one week 18" of snow, 60 degree weather the next. The students have been getting outside and enjoying the sunshine and they seem so much more relaxed! They have been busy in the classroom with many interest projects and follow up work--we were even treated to a song presentation from the Broadway play Hamilton!
MCA tests are finally over and the results will be available soon. We are proud of the effort out in by our third-year students!
The students are looking forward to Spirit week, May 7th-11th. Participation is not required, but should you choose to participate, here is the line up. Monday: PJ Day, Tuesday: Rainbow Day, Wednesday: Wackey Wednesday, Thursday: Book Character, Friday: Formal Friday.
Field Trip!
First year parents, if you are interested in chaperoning a trip to the Como Zoo on Friday, May 25th, please reply! The first years will be going on a walk to the zoo, to visit and go on a vertebrate scavenger hunt. Let me know if you are available that day from 9:00 to 1:30. It would be great to have you along!
Here are the works that the students are currently doing:
First Years: Individual Math, Writing Command Cards, BC/AD Timeline, Vertebrate Characteristics (Fish, Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds)
Second Years: Triangles by Sides, Addition Stories, Continuing Continent Booklets and Vital Functions of Vertebrates, Cnidaria and Annelids
Third Years: Parts of Speech Sentence Strips, Invertebrate and Vertebrate Classification, Money Amounts and Change, Ongoing Ancient Civilization research
If you have the means to donate, our classroom has need for large erasers and Elmer's glue. We appreciate all the donations and volunteering you have given us. We could not do this without all of you. Thank you!!
In partnership,
Patrick and Erik
