Happy Friday!  Too much to tell, to wait for Monday. We are beginning our Commotion in the Ocean projects and show rehearsals. I sent home the poems to memorize on Thursday. I will be sending home your child's speaking parts next week. Please send in a clean white T-shirt to school ASAP. They will begin decorating them soon. The next four weeks will be fast and furious. This week is Celebrate the Arts with our performance Friday at 11:00 followed by a picnic lunch. Please enjoy all of the Art displayed throughout then entire campus. All divisions participate in the Celebration all week. The Upper Division will be performing The Music Man Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. We are going to the Dali Museum on Monday. Out tour begins at 10:00 and we will return to school after for lunch. I would like to send a very warm thank-you to everyone for making Teacher Appreciation Week one of the best ever! The breakfasts were a wonderful surprise each morning and lunch was a delightful treat. I even got Godiva chocolates and Edible Arrangements apple slices dipped in chocolate delivered. Thank you again, I feel tremendously appreciated.
The pictures show quite a bit going on this week. Have your child use an empty egg carton for Math. They can label it with numbers and use pennies as game pieces. Depending on the digits the pennies land on, will determine what 3 digit numbers they can make. Have them practice how many flats, longs and cubes they need to go along with the number or which coins they need to show that amount. We also had our Writing Celebration for Our Craft of Revision Unit. Purple was everywhere. They worked on changing the story leads, endings, spelling, sequence or added where more detail was needed. Next week we are back to our non fiction All about books, with our focus being dolphins. Each week our focus will change. We are also reading out of our nonfiction dolphin books. Have a great week. We will!
