Hello Families! We had an exciting week- Valentine's Party and the all school trip to see Willy Wonka. Both events were fabulous. Thank you to all the parent volunteers who helped with the party! Here are some important happenings in our classroom:
Service Project: Before we headed off to the middle school production of Willy Wonka on Wednesday, the entire school participated in a service project for local community shelters and rehabilitation centers in need of food. Each child decorated a lunch bag at the Valentine Party and saved a Valentine treat. Then we all formed a line to assemble lunches including ham and cheese sandwiches, carrots, oranges and pretzels. Tonawanda volunteers then delivered all the lunch bags to each facility for lunch that day. It was a wonderful feeling to help someone in need!
TGIF Journal: Thank you for writing back to your kids every week. We'll continue the weekly letters until the journals fill up.
Plants!: We had a great time when Boerner Botanical Gardens came to our classroom to teach us about Stir Fry Plants. We learned that we eat roots, stems, leaves and flowers. We've had a lot of fun "mowing" our lawns and watching them grow.
Animal Reports- a letter went home in Friday Folders today asking families to help their child find a picture of the animal they chose. The picture could be from the internet or a magazine. If you don't have access to a printer, I can help find a photo at school. Thanks!
Nonfiction Author's Celebration: Our class will host an author's celebration in the first couple weeks of March. We will share all of the nonfiction pieces we have written, highlighting the animal reports. We will begin writing our animal reports on Monday. It is hard to guess when we will be ready to present so I will let you know the exact date of the celebration as soon as I know.
