What a wonderful week! The weather has been beautiful, the buds on the trees are popping out with a spray of color and scents, and we can get outside for walks and bike rides. I hope you are able to enjoy these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most of you have done an amazing job with your work!! Fantastic effort on your part and thanks to your parents for keeping up with the weekly calendar. I hope you are enjoying some of the activities I planned for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This week I am integrating WRITING and SCIENCE again. You will be learning about the life cycle of a FROG.<\/em><\/strong> I have highlighted the areas that will be graded but I forgot one assignment….<\/p>\n\n\n\n On Thursday- I forgot to highlight the assignment of:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n SEND PICTURE OF FROG LIFE CYCLE PROJECT.<\/span><\/strong> I will be grading this for both WRITING and Science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NO SCHOOL ON FRIDAY, 5\/22 AND MONDAY, MAY 25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I sure wish we could be together. This is the time of year when I do a lot of growing bean roots in paper towels, watching roots pop out in potatoes in water (and then take them home to plant and harvest in August), and I always have a special day for Mothers and one for Dads. We also catch toads and frogs and study how they are the same and yet different. We make aquariums. I show them where the milkweed leaves are and where to look for the eggs. Then we keep some in my butterfly tents and WATCH. We learn the difference between a cocoon and a chrysalis. and when the butterflies hatch, we celebrate and have a big day of celebration when we release them! I’m so missing these special days together. However, I will keep my faith and trust and I know we’ll be together when it’s the right time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n BIRTHDAYS this week:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5\/16- Fatima 5\/19-Malak<\/p>\n\n\n\n Apologies to Leya, whose birthday was April 30<\/p>\n\n\n\n Parents, <\/p>\n\n\n\n Thank you for what you are doing with my kids. I know you didn’t sign up for this…I did. But you’re doing a great job. Some of you have shared your struggles with me and I continue to hold you in my thoughts and prayers during these days. As I said last Spring, during Kindergarten Round Up, I am their teacher for one year-YOU are their teacher for life. How you react and manage things shows your child how to manage life’s hiccups. You’re a great model. You’re doing fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Enjoy the week. Remember those next Monday on Memorial Day who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country-their life for our freedom. Maybe make an American Flag and hang it in your window. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Love,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mrs. Smith<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What a wonderful week!
