Dear Parents,

It has been an eventful week! 

On Monday, students eagerly wanted to tell about giving their Moms their Mother’s Day poems.  

Science workshops have been fun as we have focused on many different aspects of planting and growing and harvesting plants. Thanks, Mitchell Ward, for bringing in the Venus Fly Trap. That is so cool. 

In Math and Reading, we have been doing a lot of review and assessments in anticipation of upcoming report cards. Your children, in Reader’s Workshop, are proud of their progress in reaching higher and higher levels (ex: j, k, l, etc) over the last couple of weeks. Students are trying out books that they had only been able to dream about at the beginning of the year. Way to go!

Thanks, everyone, if you were able to donate something to the Teacher Appreciation Week.  I picked up a nice dessert from the table in the front office, and I know that Amy and the kids will be happy to see it tonight.  I love this community. And thank you, kids, for your kind cards and words.

In Read Aloud, we are reading Nathaniel Fludd, Beastologist by R L LaFevers. Ask your child about the book and about what is happening now.

What great weather! I hope everyone has a great, sunny weekend.

Take care.

Mr. B
