Dear Parents:
WOW!! Can you believe we made it
through an entire week without any delays or cancelations? It was such a treat to watch the snow falling
from our windows both Tuesday and Wednesday. The snow made Tuckahoe Park look
magical or as one student described it: like a snow globe!
Our focus in class has been to finish
up our unit in Science on ecosystems and food chains. On Friday, we designed the perfect
environmental citizen who is always being a steward for our planet. In Social Studies, we are just starting our
unit on Ancient Mali. In Math, we have
been measuring (linear and capacity) all week and will continue measurement
next week with mass/weight. In Language
Arts, we have kicked off journal writing in the classroom and will begin
letters (for homework) next week. And,
finally, we are practicing and preparing for our Wax Museum next
Wednesday. Information on that exciting
event follows.
The Wax Museum will be held in the
classroom from 11-12 on Wednesday, March 5th. The children have worked hard this past month
reading their books and writing their note cards. I am excited to watch them as they present
their work to you all. I hope your
schedules will allow you to come and be part of this exciting morning. We hope to kick off promptly at 11 but will be
returning from PE at 10:45. If you would
like to assist your child or other students with costumes, please meet us at
10:50 in the classroom. Your extra hands
are appreciated.
Thank you to everyone for signing up
for conferences. I have valued the
meetings that have already transpired and I look forward to meeting with others
next week.
Please look on the back for some
further updates and calendar. Thank you
for all that you do. Have a great
weekend.
Sincerely,
Ms. Coffman MORE
ON BACK ->
There
are a couple of housekeeping items I would like to bring to your attention.
1.
Schoolyard
Stewards will be needed again for the spring.
If you are able to help on Tuesday’s from 12:00-1:00 for this program,
please go to the following link and sign-up. http://tinyurl.com/DiscoverySchoolyardVolunteers

Please remember to send in notes each time when
there is any change in your child’s dismissal.
This is a safety issue to make sure your child is properly dismissed
each day. With Spring Enrichment
Activities starting up again, this is a reminder. Your help with these notes is greatly
appreciated.
