May 18, 2014


We have been getting ready for our upcoming performance of “The Weather Show”.  The children are doing a fantastic job learning all of the songs and working on their lines.  We were able to practice on the stage for the first time on Friday and it went very well.  We will not be sending home the songs or scripts so we don’t spoil the surprise of the show! If your child is worried about learning their lines, please send me an e-mail and we will find a way to fit in extra practice time. Everyone is part of the performance and has a song on stage or lines to read.  We will be keeping costumes and props very simple as we have 75 students in this performance.  We will let you know what the kids should plan on wearing by the end of this week. 

In math, we have completed our units on Time and Measurement over the past few weeks and are currently working on data and graphing. We are reading short chapter books and working on reading for meaning.  We are writing reviews and have been working on catchy introductions and conclusions.  We will be starting our butterfly unit this week!  This is a very busy and exciting time of year for all of us. Thank you for helping your child come to school each day prepared and ready to learn.  I appreciate all that you do to encourage and support them. They are a great group of kids!
