Week of May 28th

End of the year party:
Each year, I hold an end of the year celebration where students showcase the work they’ve completed throughout the year. If parents cannot attend, students can bring an aunt, uncle, grandparent, etc. If no one can attend on the child’s behalf, please let me know and we can make arrangements with a staff member here at school. Due to space limitations, we will not be able to accomodate siblings.

• On,Tuesday, the class read Gail Gibbon’s book about the moon, which taught us about the moon. Also, we reviewed the moons orbit.
• On  Wednesday and Thursday we worked on the phases of the moon, which we did a demonstration of the phases. Also we read two books and started our own phases of the moon book.
