Hello All! This week we did a lot! We read with both our 7th and K buddies. We measured things and learned about standard and nonstandard units. We began measuring on a number line. We are reading Because of Winn Dixie as a class and created posters where we listed each character’s internal and external character traits. We visited the MVM and had Becky from the museum come into our classroom and assign us all jobs on a whaling ship called ‘The Eagle.’ Ask your child what job they had and how much they were paid…

Next week we will travel back to the Museum for our 3rd Whales and Whaling lesson. We will leave on Tuesday morning at 9:30. Please note that our New Bedford Whaling Museum trip is scheduled for June 2nd. More details will be coming as we approach the date, but I want parents to know that we will not have room for any extra adults this year, unfortunately. 

On Wednesday 5/20, our class will be in charge of the plant sale at 1:20-1:55 in the garden.

Monday starts the ABC countdown and I just cannot believe it! A will be arts and crafts, B will be bubblegum, C will be Come to the Plant Sale!, D will be Dance and E will be exercise for March to the Sea and Red White and Blue Fun Run!! A heads up that Monday 5/25 will be flashlight reading day so please send in any flashlights we could borrow. 

Friday 5/22 is Red White and Blue Fun Run and March to the Sea, please send students in with flowers.

Thank you for reading and enjoy the expected beautiful weather!
