Leaves are Amazing!

This week in science we are learning about the importance of leaves to plants.  They are needed to produce the plants food through photosynthesis, control water levels in the plant and in some instances protect the plant from being eaten.  The students brought in leaves from home and we did "rubbings" of them in the students' science journals.  We also had the amazing opportunity to look at some of the leaves up close and personal, through the use of a digital microscope connected to my laptop.  Here are just a few of the images we were able to capture.

Fabulous Friday!

The students have been working very hard this week.  Our day is slowing looking more "normal" and the day goes by too fast!  Today we worked on setting 3 goals.  One for Home, one for School and one for Life.  The goals were displayed on posters that outline their hand and arm to form 3 trees.  The are beautifully displayed in our hallway.  Ask your child to share the goals they have set with you.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Curriculum Night is complete

Thank you to all who were able to attend.  I think the night went very well.  There was a lot of information to share and I hope I was clear on my expectations and policies.  If at any time during the school year you have questions, problems, concerns, do not hesitate to let me know and I will do my best to provide you the answer.  If at any time I am unable to answer your question I will either direct you to the needed contact person and do some searching until the answer is discovered.

Thank you again for taking the time to attend.  If you were unable to attend, notices will be coming home with your child tomorrow.  If, after looking through the material, you have questions you would like to have clarified, please let me know.

The school year is off to a wonderful start and I am enjoying working with your children every day and watching them learn.

Have a wonderful evening!
