April 10, 2015 Newsletter

Dear Parents,

I’ve heard next week is supposed to be warmer!  I don’t know about you, but I am certainly ready for some nicer weather!  I know the students will enjoy playing outside without all their winter accessories!

We have been busy working on our circus projects!  We made circus elephants, circus tents, and a long circus train.  We have also been writing about circus acts and what we would like to do if we were in the circus.  Our trip to the Big Apple Circus is this Wednesday, April 15th.  Mrs. Collins and Mrs. Delaney will be joining us for our special day!  I’m sure you will hear all about it when your child gets home!

The students have been doing very well sorting in math.  We will be working a little with solid/3D shapes next week before vacation.  I would like to remind everyone to continue working on the subtraction fluency facts at home so the students can become more comfortable with them.  We have been doing a lot of work with the sight words too but extra support from home is always appreciated.

We will be wrapping up our writing unit on persuasive writing next week.  The students have been researching different kinds of animals that would make great class pets and will be writing me letters trying to convince me which class pet we should get for our classroom!  They have been completing a lot of impressive work and have been really engaged in the lessons!

Our last day of school will be on Tuesday, June 23rd.  Two of the make up days for snow days have been cancelled because of “Blizzard Bags.”  The bags will not affect Kindergarten at all.  Kindergarten students are not expected to complete any extra work.  If you have children in grades 1 or higher, you will be receiving information next week about the “Blizzard Bags” and the work they are expected to complete as an alternative to making up the snow days in June.  Please let me know if you have any questions about this.

Monday is a Red Sox Day!  Students are welcome to wear any Red Sox gear they may have.  It is completely optional.

Have a great weekend!

Melanie Duncan
