Song lyrics:
Miss Mary Mack
All dressed in black
With silver buttons
All down her back
She has her mother
For fifty cents
To see the elephant
Jump the fence
He jumped so high
He reached the sky
And never came back
'Til the 4th of July
And that's the story
Of Mary Mack.

Clap, turn, touch, touch.
Change, pat, down.

Good Morning Eagles. Missing your sweaty faces and laughter this week. I know we are all sad about not having our very own CCE field day but the video below will tell you about a great opportunity to participate in a National Field Day on May 8th. I am sending you some great activities to try this week as well. Stay positive and keep moving!

Letter from the Library
Dear Eagles,
I miss you more and more with each passing day! I can’t wait to be back in our library with you... Until then, I have a few great book related videos to keep us connected and thinking about reading.
First up, a link to a video in which I plug our ONLINE ONLY Book Fair. You’ll find that I included all of the important details in the video including the website needed to order, the deadline for ordering and information regarding shipping. The second video is another hilarious read aloud for the entire family! This week I featured a book about BOOGERS. You have got to check it out! Lastly, I filmed another book recommendation for those students that really enjoy chapter books. Try getting your hands on these titles through the public library’s virtual collection or on the app “Epic!”
Feel free to send me an email to let me know what you think of the read aloud and book recommendations. I really enjoy hearing from you...
Love,
~Mrs. Arter
