Week 29

We are really becoming great botanists.  We are observing how our living, Groovy Grass is changing, daily.  We are watering it and even cutting it.

We also tasted quite a variety of seeds and roots last week during our Seed Tasting Party.  Some we really liked and some not so much.  We learned that seeds come in all different shapes, sizes, and colors.  They also grow in many different ways. 

This week in science we will be changing gears and talking about something that is non-living ~ ROCKS

                                     

Your child has an assignment to search out and find 1 rock from outside to use on Thursday.  It must be bigger than a marble but be able to fit in the palm of their hand.  I do not want them to bring a rock purchased from the store.  On Monday we will talk about how to find a rock. Please help support your child in their search and send the rock to school by Thursday.  We will be using them to discover the characteristics of rocks and how we use them in our lives.

BOOTS & BUNKERS visited our school last week and taught us how to be safe when confronted by strangers and in other situations. We learned how it is important to think and make good choices at all times.  Make sure you take a look at the coloring contest they gave us that is in your child's homework folder.  Even if your child doesn't participate in the contest, make sure you cut off and keep the coupon for a free ice cream.

  

REPORT CARDS will be coming home on Thursday.  Please take time to celebrate your child's hard work.  Then sign the envelope and return it to school.  

Remember... Thursday is a minimum day.  School will be dismissed at 12:45.  NO SCHOOL on Friday.
