Happy May!

It is difficult to believe that we are just a few short weeks from the end of school.  Over the next couple of weeks we will enjoy Portfolio Night, a trip to Brookfield Zoo, and our last days. We will be studying butterlies, frogs, zoo, and sea for the rest of our time together.

We have all grown in amazing ways over the past school year!  Congratulations on another wonderful year of learning!

Hello Friends,

We are moving quickly into spring, and possibly summer with all of the warm temperatures!  We have all enjoyed this season of Lent as one of reflection and better understanding of our faith.  This month brings us into year's review with Chicka Chika Boom Boom, concerning letters.  We will also be enjoying the Week of the Young Child together.  We look forward to sunny days and great weather from here on out!

Hello Friends,

Who would have known that February would have gone by so quickly!  We enjoyed learning all about Valentine's, our Presidents, and that potentially pesky groundhog.  In March, we look forward to everything Dr.Seuss, Saint Patrick's Day, Lent, and weather-related.  We are all sincerely hoping for more of this excellent weather to whisk us into April.

Happenings in our classroom

• We will be taking donations for individuals in need all of this month!  Please bring in non-perishable items along with personal hygiene items for donation into the box outside of our classroom.  Our goal is for 100 items, and I am sure we can meet/exceed this goal!
• Our Ball and Auction project is beautiful, and please feel free to see it in our classroom kitchen area.  The students are thrilled to see the final result.  A huge thank you to all of the parents for supporting our idea, and to Mrs. Rieckelman for spending time with us to complete this "work of art".

Thank you to everyone who works to make this class a wonderful place for us all!

 God bless,
