Weekly Update

This morning we had a special guest, Justin Matott, come in and share with us some of his new book ideas and what he does when he goes through the process of creating a book.   The kids all really enjoyed his stories and his great animated personality.  

This week we are working intently on our dinosaur unit.  We have learned many things over this unit about dinosaurs: what they look like and why, what are the main two types, are they carnivors or herbivors, how they behave, how big they are and when they lived.   This week we will be learning about some specific dinosaurs.   We will be sorting them according to their type and talking about what they do, eat, look like and size.   Next Monday we will be having our end of unit test on Dinosaurs.    Stay tuned for the study shee ...

Weekly Theme Update

Last week the students did great giving their presentations on their insects!   Look for how they did on their projects in next week's Weekly Folder! 

This week we will be starting our last unit this year on DINOSAURS!!!!!   During this unit we will be learning about the different types of dinosaurs, what they ate and did as well as when they lived and the fossils they left behind for us.    On Saturday afternoon, May 18th, I would love for all of us (families and students alike) to meet at the Museum of Nature and Science and explore the museum for all the information about Dinosaurs.   I think it would be a great learning opportunity, but completely voluntary and not school sponsored : )  There will be a short test on Dinosaurs at the end of this unit on Monday, June 2nd.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!!

Thank you to all the parents who helped make Friday's Overnight (day and night) activities a huge success.   All parents jumped right in and did most anything that was needed: from helping out on the field trip, to getting dinner and desert ready, to serving us and cleaning up after us, for helping us plant and paint our pots, to watching us while we ate and play, for getting the room ready for sleeping in and setting it back up  and for making sure we didn't loose anything or anyone, as well as taking care of me so I can take care of the munchkins.   Thank you all for all you did and the extent you did!   Without you there would be no overnight!   Thank you!!!!!!
