Bunnies, Bunnies Everywhere!

We started off the week with William's mom visiting us with her beautiful Angora bunnies (10 to be exact) and their mother Annabel during the afternoon session.

We had fun listening to the classic Beatrix Potter book - The Tale of Peter Rabbit.  We also wrote stories about this event.

Students said farewell to winter and drew pictures about what they will miss about this season that seemed to never really take hold.

We acted out some math problems about bunnies coming and going from gardens.

Before I get into those leprechaun antics, I wanted to let you know that your conference times are coming home today so  please check those folders.  Thank you all so much for getting back to me.

Fun in P.E.

Enjoying the spring weather while we can

Is Spring really here?

We're back in the swing again after our long break and we are studying transportation.  Students have been thinking about all the ways they get from point A to point B and we are seeing that people in other parts of the world depend on options we wouldn't consider.  If you have any books or pictures you wish to send in for our study we would be glad to incorporate them.

A sign up sheet for conferences went home on Wednesday for our March 31st and April 1st meeting times.  Please get that back to me as soon as possible so I can schedule everyone and give you the choices you selected. 

Please note that there will not be preK on March 31st and April 14th.  Community Connections will be in session on those days.
