Which dinosaur will it be?

dino.jpg This week, we have been learning about fossils and what different scientists do on a dinosaur dig.  I have been introducing many different dinosaurs to the students and they will be picking one to do a research report on Monday or Tuesday.  Expect the information soon and students will have about a month to complete this assignment.  They have been wanting to pick their dinosaur and start this report.   I told them to think about different dinosaurs that they would like to do a report on this weekend.  The information should go home Monday or Tuesday.

Don't forget to call the office to schedule a conference!  I will look forward to seeing you then, Nancy

We started learning about dinosaurs!

We started learning about the beginning of the world and the super continent of Pangea today.  We talked about all the eras and periods prior to dinosaurs being on this earth and that humans have been on this earth such a short time.  Ask your child what they learned about in school today!

 Don't forget to keep reading and write it down on your Read to Feed sheets.   Those will be due on April 1st.  Thank you.

Horton and Gertrude forever!

We had a wonderful time at Seussical today!  It was based on many Seuss books but mainly Horton Hears a Who, Horton Hatches and Egg, Gertrude McFuzz, which we had read in class. 

 We arrived early so we had front row seating!  The performance was really great and all the kids were mesmerized.  In the end, the performers took many of the students out onto the stage to dance with them.  The busses were lined up to pick up all the students so we were waiting in the lobby and the characters came out and our students were delighted to get the autographs of the performers.  A good time was had by all!

 If you have not yet sent your money in for the Boston Museum field trip, please do so.  Also, if you could chaperone, that would be wonderful as I like to get as many chaperones as possible for this field trip.  Thank you.

Seussical, the Musical

cathat3.gif We could not go to Seussical, the Musical today due to the snowstorm.  I am waiting to hear from the theater to see if we can reschedule it.  They were not in the office today but said they thought the only possible date was Thursday, March 8th.  I will keep you informed.  Enjoy the snow day with your lovely children!     Smile
