Curriculum News
This newsletter will include the upcoming two weeks because of 2 shorter weeks in a row. During the week of April 15th-17th, we will be taking a look at some fun springtime stories that tie in with our discussion of fairytales. This will also lead us into some fun Easter themed writing activities that will give students the opportunity to share some of their fun family traditions. When we return from Easter break, we will be turning our attention to concept books. This will allow us to take a closer look at text features found in this particular genre and will lead to our 2nd graders getting to write their own concept book on a topic of their choice. After our time off we will also be spending a lot of time focusing on ways to take care of the Earth since we will be celebrating Earth Day all week long!
Upcoming Events
Our Jump Rope for Heart event is coming up on Wednesday, April 17th and will go from 12:00-2:00 in the gym with K, 1, and 2 doing their activities in the gym first with the older grades getting a turn following that. This is always such a worthwhile cause and is also a good way to get in some extra exercise that will only help strengthen our own hearts. Also, our K, 1, and 2 annual field trip is quickly approaching. It will be on Tuesday, May 7th. We will be leaving first thing in the morning and return at approximately 2:15-2:30 on that day.
