Two Weeks and Counting .... Spring Has Sprung!

Dear Parents,

Please click on the following link to view the videos that the students created using the new-to-us Comics Head app.  Students worked together to write their own retelling of a piece of traditional literature  in the form of a drama.  They then “acted” out the parts using the app.  I am so impressed with their work, and we are looking forward to the next time we can use Comics Head as part of our learning!


BOB BULLOCK MUSEUM FIELD TRIP:
Mrs. Patterson, Mrs. Radhakrishnan, Mr. Morgan, and Mr. Sepe will be our chaperones for our field trip next Thursday!  If you would like to join in on the fun, please send me an email so that I may get you all of the information you will need.  For the field trip, it would be helpful for your child to be in a CCE shirt so that they are easily recognizable.  Also, we will be eating lunch onsite.  Each student will need to have a sack lunch that is completely disposable.  We will not have coolers with us and the lunches will remain on the bus until lunch time.  If your child’s lunch needs to stay cool, freezing a water bottle and including it in the lunch will help with this.  We will have time for the kiddos to eat a snack before we leave.  If they choose to bring a snack, please have it packed separately.  Thank you!
