Class News
Zoo Trip - Looks like it will be a cold, rainy day. We are planning to still go as of right now. Please make sure your child dresses for the weather (raincoat, umbrella, etc).
Concord Library Trip - We will be walking to the Concord Library on May 26 @ 9 am. Permission slips will come home this week. We will take a tour of the children's section, listen to the librarians read a few books, and learn about the summer reading program and how to get a library card.
Blog Permission - I have been asked to be a guest blogger on a website called Fractus Learning.
In my post for May, I'd like to write about an upcoming project LEGO writing activity that we will be completing in class. As a part of my post, I'd like to include pictures and videos of the students working, as well as some samples of the student projects.
I will only use your child's image if you grant me permission. I completely understand and respect your decision as a parent to protect your child's image and digital footprint.
