Our Read to Feed project was a huge success. We will be meeting as a team to calculate our final total and then coming up with package choices that the kiddoes will get to vote on.
I want to give a very special THANK YOU and WOW to Kathryn Wright. She raised over $500!!!!! This helped bring our class total to over $700!!!!!!
Final digestive system projects are due Monday, April 14th.
During our study of the skeletal and muscular system we did a number of experiments and had many discussions of the bones and muscles. I was able to assess the kiddoes in many different situations that showed me whether they had a good handle on the concepts. I decided not to give a final test because of the information I already had and because CSAP fell right in the middle of our unit.
We will be having a "state fair" as a culminating activity for our year-long state unit. State Fair requirement packets will go home on Tuesday, April 15th. The state fair will be held May 28th and May 29th.
Permission slips and $35 payments for our overnight at the Denver Zoo are due Friday, April 18th. Permissions slips for Slim Goodbody and the Denver Mint will go home in Monday folders on April 28th.
We have no birthdays in our classroom for the rest of April and all of May. If your kiddoe has a birthday between June 6th and August 19th, we would be happy to celebrate it before the end of the year. Please let me know!
