Fun day at the zoo!

We had a wonderful time at the zoo today!  Great weather!  Lots of cool animals!  Many thanks to our chaperones, Mrs. Morrison, Mrs. Sokolowski, Mrs. Allan, Mrs. Kilmer, and Mrs. Powers!  We appreciate all your help!  

                                                           all the girls in room 7

and...all the boys

We will be having our field day on June 4th from 12:30-2:00.  Please dress your child for the weather and apply sunscreen at home.  More information is in the Thursday packet.  Feel free to come to the field and watch your child!

We will also be having an end of the year celebration on June 19th at 1:30.  Mrs. Morello will be in touch with you to ask if you can help supply refreshments/snacks for the kids and families.  I will have "centers" set up around the room and your child will walk you through them and show you some of his/her work!  I understand work schedules are crazy, it would be great if every child had one parent present so he/she could walk someone around.  Siblings are welcome.  If you aren't able to come, please send me a note or email so I can plan accordingly for your child.

It's hard to believe it is almost June?!

Finally beautiful weather!  Happy spring!  The year is really flying by!  The boys and girls have become so independent in so many areas it is amazing to watch!

Hopefully they have shared with you that we have caterpillars!  They will change into Painted Lady butterflies!  They are in the process of forming their chrysalises and it is very exciting to watch.  There has been constant movement in their cup!  ALL the kids are fascinated watching them!  Once they have transformed we will let them free!  Who knows where they will travel??

We continue to hone our math skills!  It is so fun to work with a partner when we count, add, subtract, use rods and cubes or even the ipads!

 We even made "fact family" flowers for spring to tie in our knowledge of numbers when we add and subtract!

The kids seem to be enjoying their RAH RAH books and continue to return them.  They have been working hard in their reading groups!  Many have even been using Raz Kids during free time to help with their reading also!

We also had a fantastic science day on May 12th, on Light and Color!  The helpers did a great job!  Many thanks to Mrs. Oliveto, Mrs. Morello, Mrs. Vazquez, Mrs. Duggan, Mrs. Romagnolo, and Mrs. McAndrews!

                                                               

Our field trip to the zoo is on the 28th.  Chaperone information will be sent home shortly.
