April 23- April 27

Week 33

I'm excited to start getting those Flat People back that have been mailed out! It will be exciting to show the pictures and read the letters! We have been practicing for our upcoming play on May 8th, hope you can make it! We will continue the Water Cycle in science this week and try to answer the following question: Why is there sand at the beach? Also, we've been learning a lot about Fairy Tales, ask your child if they remember what a fractured fairy tale is!

 Enjoy the week!

Flat Stanley Project
During our Terra Nova Testing week we read the story of Flat Stanley. Your child came home with some project materials that will need to be sent to a friend, neighbor or relative. Please send the materials to someone that would be willing to participate in our project and able to send the materials back to school in the mail.
