There was a quote largely displayed in my fifth grade social studies classroom that read something along the lines of "everyday is a gift and that's why it's called the present." It has been many years since I've sat in that fifth grade class singing the 50 states song in alphabetical order and playing a class Oregon Trail game, but I still remember that quote. This week, the team and I have received gifts and cards for Teacher Appreciation Week. Thank you, for your generosity! I love coming to work everyday and being greeted with a smile or wave. Everyone has grown so much this past year. I'm looking forward to Open House on May 24th. Open House is from 6-7 pm and it is for students to show off their classrooms and all the work they have done throughout the year. Stop by any time during the hour and stay as long as you like! We will be hard at work decorating the classroom, so there might be fewer instagram pictures of our bulletin boards between now and Open House. :)
Just over three weeks left in the school year and still so much fun to be had! This week we have been reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar. First we listen to the book being read by the author, Eric Carle, then I read the book and students take turns putting food items on the white board. During centers I work with students on art activities with a focus on the book. Other themes we will be exploring are butterflies and flowers. The new sensory bin features different types uncooked pasta noodles. The water table has been turned into a flower garden with real soil and fake flowers. There is also a smaller sensory bin with black beans and food items from the dramatic play area to continue with the spring time theme. Still coming up: -Progress Reports will be sent home the last day of school -The last week of school I will be sending home all extra clothes and diapers. -ESY Greenbrook Elementary June 11-July 6th no school on July 4th, school starts at 8:15. As always email me any time with questions or concerns!
