News & Updates

Dear Families,

It feels like spring is finally here! We may even adventure out to the garden tomorrow to plant peas and radishes.  Mary Lennox, the main character in our current read aloud, The Secret Garden, would be glad to hear that we're getting out into the awakening earth!

During writing time, the children have been busy creating presentations based on their reports.  We will celebrate by sharing with 2nd graders on Friday. If your child would like to bring in a stuffed animal, puppet, Lego creation or something made out of clay/ etc. to go along with her/his presentation, that's great, but it is not required. If you would like to send in a treat for our celebratory day, please sign up here.

You will  be able to see these presentations on our student blogs soon (hopefully by Friday). Your comments on student blogs will be greatly appreciated by the children.

Friday is also BEACH DAY! Your children may come dressed in their favorite beach attire/accessories and bring a beach towel for lunch time.

We wrapped up our latest math unit on three-dimensional shapes and volume. Our final unit on rates and unit pricing will begin after vacation. Next week's math time will be spent completing our Motion and Design science unit in which children will complete an engineering and design challenge.

You may have heard that we are writing a play. We will begin brainstorming scenery and costumes, so if you have an interest in helping, please let me know.  We will also be looking for VERY LARGE pieces of cardboard.  More details to follow after the break.

Thanks for your continued support, Renee
