Week at a Glance April 4

 

Note from the Teacher:                                                                                        Please don't forget to send in donations of plastic eggs  and candy for our book buddies' egg hunt by April 6. The class is excited to host the hunt and spend this time with their book buddies.                         The students have been working hard on their poetry books.  We hope to finish writing our poems before our Easter break and then plan to turn our attention to adding illustrations to each poem.                 This year as part of our spring activities, we will be dying eggs using a few different methods.  Please have your child bring in  four hard boiled eggs in a carton on April 13.  This will be a fun activity to explore several science concepts as well.  Decorative eggs will be returned home with each child.  As always, thank you for supporting what we do in the classroom!
