This past weekend I went bowling, bike riding and walked a few miles around the dog park in a vain attempt to work off some of the absolutely delectable desserts many parents showered our staff with last Friday! Everyday last week was made so special by all the wonderful ways you made us feel appreciated, we appreciate you, THANK YOU!
Last week we published the first issue of, “The Room 6 Newspaper.” It was an inspirational experience in writing informational text and proof reading, fun too! We also finished a collection of our poems and created some beautiful carp wind socks in honor of the Japanese celebration of children on May 5th. We also did a mini unit on ladybugs and last Friday we harvested the two types of radishes we had planted with our Americorp volunteer Teacher Julia. We sampled the radishes with sea salt and graphed the taste test together. I am happy to report that most of the class loved them! This week we continue to record changes our meal worms and new visitors, the milkweed bugs and praying mantis, are making in their life cycles. On Thursday we will enjoy a play by the kindergartners and Friday all the students and staff will be photographed together:) Please stop by and pick up some books to have your child read to you at home if you are able and keep reading to them please!
