Welcome back to school!

The class has settled nicely back into the classroom routines.  I am very happy to return to the classroom to see their faces and be a part of their learning once again.

Outdoor Fitness

Beginning on Tuesday April 6, we will start every day with outdoor fitness.  Students will enter class as usual at 8:50, wash hands, and hang up backpacks. Then we will be heading to the spider web area at 8:55.  If for some reason you arrive at school later than 8:55, please walk your child to find us outside.

Sunflower Seed Planting

In September, we saved some seeds from our gigantic sunflower that we studied in our classroom. We just planted some of the seeds in our classroom and hope to transfer them to the outdoor planters once the weather is warmer.

Potato Plant Update

Over the Spring Break, our seed potatoes sprouted. One sprout is already higher than the edge of the tub!

We will continue to “hill” (adding soil as needed) until our sprouts are growing leaves. Hopefully, by the end of June we will be ready to harvest our potatoes.

Easter egg decorating

The students were SOOOO excited to dye eggs for Easter. These are hard boiled eggs so if you want to save them please keep them in the fridge to prevent the smell from spreading. I told the kids that I don’t recommend eating them as they had been out of the fridge for a while.

Easter Weekend

A reminder that school is closed on Friday April 2 and Monday April 5 for the Easter weekend.

Please return your child’s report card envelope if you have not done so already. Thank you!

Take care! Stay safe!
