Wind, wind, and more wind :-)

We have had just a little bit of wind lately :), but we have managed to make the best of it! I wanted to take just a moment to brag on your children. First of all, last Friday was an interesting day to say the least, but all of the children handled it exceptionally well! I was very proud of them. Secondly, today's field day and picnic was just a little windy also; we had fun looking hair, chilly arms, and had to chase our food, but the children once again made me proud. Everyone just focused on having fun and didn't worry about who did the best. It was a great day! Thanks again for sending me such wonderful children this year!!!

Now for the news:

Addititon Banana Split Challenge:
We are getting very excited about our banana splits. So far, we have earned a bowl, spoon, a banana, 2 scoops of ice cream, chocolate topping, and sprinkles. We are trying today for our second flavor of topping; and then we will work for whipped cream and a cherry. The students are doing very well on the test. We have only had to take one test over the second time. Thank you to all that have volunteered to bring in supplies, also. I believe we have everything spoken for except the two toppings. I very much appreciate everyone's willingness to help.

Puppets:
We are going to bring our field trip to life! We saw how to make many different kinds of puppets on our field trip; now we are hoping to make puppets next week, write puppet scripts for them, and then perform our scripts in class. It will be a fun way to use our writing and reading skills we have worked so hard on this year.

ASK YOUR CHILD ABOUT…

Comparing and contrasting two Goldiocks stories and the characters in Frederick, adding 2-digit numbers, working on our addition banana split challenge, our last reading celebration (we are only 16 reading records away), our walking field trip to the high school to watch a drama production.

Have a great rest of the week!
