Hopefully, Spring will arrived soon, although today is really cold. Weather is changeable so please send in a jacket or raincoat. The playground is often cool at morning recess!
If you email me and I do not respond it may be that I am too busy and I can not get to my computer. If it is a dismissal change please contact Fran in the office. I will get the message from her as well.
Another super week of learning. The children are happy and very sociable and friendly with each other .Work has continued as always with math, story writing, science and social studies. The class continues to work on conflict resolution skills. Always remember there are two sides to any story and please do not judge any child as it could be your own child. BFS is a safe place to learn and grow. There are now 3 adults on lunch time duty.
Math work. Measurement has been introduced by measuring objects using non-standard items. The children are having a lot of fun and really enjoyed learning about measurement. This topic will continue by measuring objects using non-standard measurements and then measuring using inches.Now the children are counting by 2's, and 5's.
Language Arts.
Please encourage your child to read. They all have their files and books this weekend so I would encourage you to listen to your child. Please send these files and books back on Monday! The children wrote cards to the 3rd and 7th grade thanking them for their play on Wednesday. In their science books they wrote about seasons and drew pictures. This weeks story began with "Once upon a time....." and the stories were very creative.
Science.
This week the bird unit has been introduced. The children will learn about different birds and their characteristics and make a bird book.
