Cookie Dough Fundraiser
Congratulations to Kaylei and Jackie who did an outstanding job with Boyden's Cookie Dough Fundraiser. These two ladies enjoyed a pizza lunch (served by Mr. Dearborn!) as a reward for their tremendous effort and impressive sales. Great job!!!
Puppets in the Park
A BIG thank you to Mrs. Kelleher, Mrs. Savary and Mrs. Shaughnessy who joined us on our field trip to Bird Park to see 'Cardboard Explosion'. Although the weather was a bit chilly, a wonderful time was still had by all!
Curriculum Update
Literacy
The theme of our learning for the past few weeks has been 'Going Places', and the children have had a great time discussing how people in different parts of the world travel and go to school. We have also been learning about the letters 'V' and 'Z' and practicing our last two sight words come and where!
Making mini volcanoes was the perfect activity for 'V' week!
Math
We have been working on Topic 13 in math which focuses on sorting, counting, classifying and categorizing data. Last week the children sorted objects by one attribute such as size, shape, or color!
Science
These last few weeks have sure been an exciting time for Science in our classroom! After meeting our new caterpillars at the beginning of the month, we then enjoyed watching them change into chrysalises. We got a BIG surprise this week as our butterflies emerged overnight and were ready for release. We were sad to say goodbye but enjoyed being a part of their transformation!
