Dear Parents,
As you can see from the attached slide show, we had an absolutely idyllic day at the Pleasant Valley Nature Sanctuary in Lenox on Wednesday for our bird walk. We were lucky to see a bluebird and a goldfinch as well as some scene-stopping geese and goslings in one of the beautiful ponds. Thank you parent drivers, Julia Heaton, Sarah Bourla and Dan Simmonds for helping to make the trip possible.
Our class parents have been doing a great job of keeping you up to date about the upcoming events here at school from now until the end of the year on June 10th, but if you have any questions about next week’s music concert or school spirit week, please give Kay or I a call.
Thank you all so much for coming to our Author’s Teas last week. The children were so excited to have you here so they could share their written work with you all.
The Family Trees are coming along, with some completed and some near completion. Thank for sending in all that family information to make this project such a unique learning experience.
The slide show also includes some shots of the students making their own bird’s nest from materials they collected on a bird walk here at school. They show remarkable understanding of how, where and why birds make their nests, and though the floors were a mess, they really enjoyed the project!
Enjoy the weekend,
Best,
Katharine and Kay
