The Butterflies are Coming!

Today our first butterfly emerged from its chrysalis! It was so exciting to watch it in action. Students were amazed that it was actually a butterfly coming out when only last week it was a caterpillar crawling around in a tiny cup. When I left school today there were two more butterflies in the mesh habitat. I can't wait to see what awaits us Monday morning! Check out the new pictures and short video clips.

PLAY DAY

Play Day has been moved to Wednesday, April 27. Yes, that is TOMORROW! Please make sure your child wears sneakers, shorts, and a hat or sunglasses. We are going to show our team spirit by wearing our class tie-dye shirts. I have many of the shirts here at school but please double check to see if your child's shirt is at home. If anyone would like to donate a class set of Popsicles to enjoy after play day we would appreciate it.

Butterflies

Last Friday we started our science unit on the Life Cycle of a Butterfly. It was so exciting to observe our caterpillars on Day 1. This morning we noticed they have grown so much already! Each student has their own caterpillar to observe as it grows and changes. We've observed the caterpillars eating, crawling around and even "dancing"! We'll keep you updated as we learn all about the life cycle of a butterfly.

Budget

We need your help! Please complete this survey regarding the budget for next school year. Thank you so much!!

Play Day

Grades K-2 will have Play Day on March 17th. Please make sure you return the tie dye t-shirt washed as soon as possible. We plan on wearing these shirts for Play Day. Your child should also wear shorts, sunscreen, and a hat (assuming the weather is nice). If anyone would like to donate Popsicles for our class to enjoy afterwards that would be a nice way to cool down. If you would like to join us we will begin at 1:00 and play until 2:20. Hope to see you there!

Report Writing

We're working on report writing for the next several weeks. Your children have checked out books from our school library and are using books from our classroom library. If you are able to take your child to the public library to checkout more books or print information from the links to the left it would be very helpful. Thanks!

Class Activities

We had a great 100th day of school! Thank you parents for donating items for our trail mix. You guys are awesome!

Your child should have brought home their homework yesterday with a letter about Valentine's Day. If you are able to donate an item from the list please send it in by Friday. Monday we'll exchange valentines. I can't wait to see the Valentine mailboxes everyone makes!

Have a great weekend!
