Welcome
Back!
I hope
you all had a wonderful break. Today we began making up the hours we owe due to
the storm back in October. It was strange to be teaching until 3:15 for
the first time in my 21 years here!
Field
Trip
We had a wonderful trip to The Butterfly Place on April 13. Thanks go out to Erin Mueller, Judy Dion, Beth Rothschild and Mark Haseltine for chaperoning. Here are some photos- please look for a slide show on the left side of our blog. Our next field trip will be on May 25 to the North End of Boston and all are welcome to join us!
Greening
of the School:
Please
take a peek at our new Greenhouse! It was donated by our Fifth Grade
class as their gift to the school. We began putting plants outside in it this
week and the children noticed a huge difference in the temperature inside
compared to outside. What a great science experiment! If you would like
to volunteer to help with moving plants, stirring compost or watering please
let me know.
Sharing for the month of April is a Baby Photo and a memory of when they
were “little”. (In an envelope with my name on it!) I HAVE ONLY RECEIVED
2 OF THESE SO PLEASE SEND ASAP! I’m
extending the due date until next Monday, April 30. We will have fun guessing who is who!
Curriculum
update:
We are
wrapping up our study of the Continents in Social Studies this week, which has
also been woven into our Reading and Writing. The students have created a
booklet that you will see at our Open House in May! We will be starting our
study of Communities next week.
In Math
we are in full swing of our unit on 3-digit Addition and Subtraction.
Please continue to play the math games that come home as these give
children essential practice time for these skills. Let me know if you need any
help modifying to make it a “just right” experience.
Once
again thank you for all of your support and encouragement this year! We
are in the final stretch!
SIncerely,
Deborah Niles and Julie Pond
