Dear Parents,
We had a wonderful trip to the Big Apple Circus on Wednesday! The show was wonderful and the kids seemed to really enjoy it! We want to say a special thank you to Mrs. Corbett and Mrs. Hatzis for coming with us!
We completed our unit on the circus. The student’s artwork will be coming home after vacation. It is all beautifully displayed in our classroom and in the hallway. Be sure to check out previous blog posts to see different projects and other fun happenings we have had!
The students also finished their individual innovations called One, Two, Three, Four. These went home today in their folders. I would encourage your children to read them as often as possible and be sure to point to the words as they read! It is a wonderful way to reinforce their sights words in context. The students did a great job thinking of different adjectives to describe the animals in their books.
I would encourage you and your child to work a lot on their sight words and math fluency facts over vacation. May is a big assessment month for us and I will be checking students on both of these skills during the next few weeks. I would also encourage you to read, read, read as much as possible!
We will be starting our nature unit when we return from our spring break and will be learning about life cycles, trees, seeds, and eventually insects. We will also be making observations about the signs of spring we see outside. We will be taking pictures of different places around the school over a 4-6 week period and comparing the pictures every week. It may be a fun project for you to do at home too! I would love to see the pictures when you are done if you do decide to do it! It is hard to believe spring is already here, even though it has been so cold!
We hope you have a fantastic, fun-filled, and relaxing week of vacation. We look forward to hearing all the students' stories when they return!
Have a great week!
Melanie Duncan
