Welcome Back

  Welcome back to school! I hope everyone had a good two weeks off and is ready to return to class on the 31st and 1st. We return to school with a few changes I will now be teaching the MWF Owls as well as the TTH owls. I am ready to continue working with families in both classes and I hope this transition is smooth for our MWF families.While I am sad that Ms. Tara is no longer teaching I am happy that I was chosen to carry on with her class in the Owl room. On MWF we will be having one classroom outside each week so that there is a teacher covering outside as well as still keeping the options open (I hope the weather continues to cooperate) So when you arrive to class on MWF some of the science and art activities will take place outside the first week and then rotate through each class as we progress so it will go Orange Owls, Blue Turtles and Green Dragonflies in that order then back again each week. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

 Our theme is nature when we return so I am excited to brainstorm with the kids what they think and know about nature and what they want to study in this unit. We will be hatching some silkworms, and looking at life cycles, we may discuss weather and things that come with changes in weather, maybe some plants and planting. I am not sure where we will go but I am excited to go there with everyone.

 We will also be getting ready for Easter and discussing eggs and what comes from eggs soon. Please begin to think about our Easter egg hunt. Each year families bring 10 eggs each filled with toys, stickers, tattoos, or a little candy and each child then gets to take home 10 eggs its a fun Easter tradition.

 Please enjoy the rest of spring break and I can't wait to see everyone again when we return!
