We really enjoyed watching the Balloon Launch this morning!
Dear Parents,
Spring Break flew by, and we are getting down to the wire for STAAR Writing (April 9th). We have wrapped up both our nonfiction text structure study and our expository essay in language arts, began our study of customary units, and we have created several activities in science all while learning about animal and plant adaptations. We have worked hard and are looking forward to Cruise Write Along week next week!
Friday Feast
Thank you for the delicious soup and salad lunch at Friday Feast.
Cruise Write Along
We have a fun week planned for the students. In order to make this a memorable experience, our classroom has been transformed into a cruise ship and beach theme. Thank you to Sarah B., Sarah S., Jayanthi, Lori, Jessica, and Ella for helping to decorate. Students may bring beach towels, low sitting beach chairs, and inflatable floats on Monday, April 1st (not fooling) to use while participating in our ship’s activities. Please make sure everything is labeled so that it may be returned to the rightful owner. Our room moms have provided Cabana snacks for the week, but students are welcome to bring their own snacks from home. Backpacks do not need to be brought next week in order for kids to have the most amount of space to explore the ship. It is going to be fun.
Each day will be a theme dress up day.
Monday - hat day
Tuesday - tropical wear day (no swimsuits)
Wednesday - sunglasses day
Thursday - flip flop day
Field Trip
Our field trip to the Meadows Center will be on Thursday, April 11th. Students will need to bring a completely disposable sack lunch (including drinks). Please pack snacks separately from lunch as we will have snack before we leave school at 9:30.
