Dear Families,
What a busy week we have had.
First off, thank you to Natacha and Kate for a delicious and fun lunchbunch today. Thank you as well to all the parents who were able to join us for Back to School Night.
During our morning literacy block your children have been working on poetry; reading different poems, looking for patterns, listening to poets read their own poems, reciting poems as a group and are in the process of selecting one favorite poem to learn my heart.
In Science our study of trees continues. On Tuesday we learned about deciduous trees.Thursday afternoon we worked in pairs to observe and take notes on a tree that they will study throughout the year.
A few nuts and bolts items:
* if you received medical forms this part week (check backpacks) please return asap either to us or directly to the office.
*Class Field Trip this Friday, October 2nd to Berkshire Botanical Gardens. Please wear boots or sturdy sneakers that day, ground will most likely be wet.
*Book Orders are also due Oct.2nd. Please support your child’s interest in reading and our classroom library.
The slideshow below is a snapshot of some of the different activities of these last 2 weeks including a visit from the 3rd grade for some Choice time, examining tree bark, working with Cuisinaire rods and enjoying some quiet reading time.
Have a wonderful weekend with your families,
Best, Katharine and Kay
