What a week it has been! Monday feels like the only normal day that we've had this week (if there is such a thing!). We had a great time creating blurbs for the stories about Early Americans that the students wrote last week. You'll be able to read these stories next week outside of our classrooms. The blurbs for each story can be heard on your child's SeeSaw.
Our field trip to West Rock was very informative. We saw first-hand where our recycling goes when we put it in the bin. Ask your child about the mountain of white paper or how much a cube of plastic weighs. After the field trip, we were able to have some great conversations about what makes recycling so important. We learned while we were there that the amount of recycling in the facility (which was quite a lot) was only one day's worth. Imagine if it wasn't getting recycled at all! West Rock kindly gave us the hard-hats and glasses as a souvenir to keep. We are so lucky to have these awesome partners! Field Day was... We have Camp Learned-A-Lot coming up next week. I am so excited to experience camp! We will kick off with a camp sing-a-long on Monday followed by the big surprise reveal that you guys sent in... ;) We'll have arts and crafts, stories in the tent, outdoor games, and even our class party. Lookout for a schedule that I'll be sending you via email today. As we wind down the year, I have begun sending things home. You probably have already gotten 4 workbooks that your child took home yesterday. These will be great to use for some practice over the summer (especially the math book and the Coach book). We can't possibly get through it all during the school year, but I encourage you to use these to help prevent that summer slide. Speaking of summer, Mrs. Bates showed the kids how to access their Biblionasium account for logging their summer reading this summer. Students will even be able to start logging their minutes as early as next week to get familiar with the program. Please make reading a habit for your child over the summer. Use some of that middle-of-the-day downtime when the sun is blazing hot and let your child curl up indoors with a good book. I promise, you won't regret this! Take a look at Mrs. Bates' blog page via the Tritt website to access Biblionasium. Some information went home about it yesterday in purple folders as well. Finally, don't forget to mark your calendars for our Poetry Coffee House on Monday, May 20th from 10:30 - 11:30. The students have been working hard to publish their own poems and can't wait to share them with you. We hope to see you there! Upcoming Dates: 5/13 - 5/17 = Camp Learned-A-Lot 5/16 = Our Class Party 5/20 = Poetry Coffee House @ 10:30 5/21 = Early Release Day 5/22 = Last Day of School! (Early Release Day)
