Dear Families and Friends,
Springtime is here!
In Science we have finished up our Penguin study and have begun our study of bees.
We have shared projects with many other classes. 3rd grade came for final Penguin presentations of dioramas or posters that each child researched on different penguins. We also visited Kindergarten and 4th grade for their Ocean Animal and See the USA presentations respectively. 2nd graders visited 3rd grade and shared their Academic Choice projects on coins and money.
Rehearsals for our musical, The Wind in the Willows, have begun in earnest. Thank you for playing the link with the songs at home, that practice has really helped and their voices are beautiful and clear.
A big thank you to all who helped make the Fiesta celebration so much fun. The tissue paper flowers are going home today and the work folders will make it home next week once we finish up some last details.
Finally, one more thank you to all the families that so made Teacher Appreciation week so special for us; the cards and flowers and the wonderful meal were a real treat.
The slideshow below has some photos from the events mentioned above along with some of our delicious last lunch bunch (thank you, Ana and Sarah), learning Mayan Math, receiving our scripts and making pages for our Mexico book and penguin projects.
Life gets very busy around here now, with trips or events almost every week until the end of the year!
