Dear Families,
We continue to work, run, play, consider, construct, demonstrate and illustrate both in and out of the classroom.
I hope the slide show below gives you a sense of how focused and engrossed the class was in practicing their Colonial penmanship before we started making our own Horn Books using Colonial lettering in Social Studies class. We also finally made it up to the shop and started making our tin lanterns from the tin cans that you provided. We froze water in them so they would keep their shape in the vices, and then with hammers and nails they tapped out patterns similar to ones we have seen in our study. We plan to have them ready for your Thanksgiving tables.
In Science the class continues to learn more about the ocean and all the varied and complex life that lives within it. Their Ocean Study Books will be going home soon so they can share with you all they have learned in this unit.
The play at the Mahaiwe was great fun. A flyer went home in backpacks yesterday with some details about how the theatre company put together those complex costumes that light up in the dark.
Thank you, as always, to our wonderful class parents who do such a good job keeping us up to date about classroom events. Their emails will keep you up to date on all upcoming activities.
Best Katharine and Kay
