Our field trip was a great success. We did dodge a few rain drops but overall it was fun! The penguin movie was perfect for all of our animal research and learning about adaptations, habitats and animal features. A huge thank you to the chaperones and parents that came. You guys are phenomenal and made it a smooth and safe field trip. Thank you so much!!
Dia de los Ninos was also super fun! The costumes were outstanding and the kids enjoyed all of the activities. We buddy read with 5th grade, went to an assembly with the Cat in the Hat, listened to an author speak, and attended a book publishing award ceremony with Iron Man. It was a great time for all!
We are on the home stretch now. Our schedule will be off this whole week due to the book fair. We will fine arts in the morning at 7:55 everyday. This definitely will make it hard to manage the wiggles but I will try to keep them engaged.
Have a great week!
