It was a busy week after vacation. For Earth Day, we had special visitors from Five Rivers who played a game with the class and taught them about equilibrium in our ecosystem. In math, the class is enjoying the unit on geography and had fun making polygons on geo-boards (see below). We also worked on continent maps by drawing a ripping out the continents and the class really like this activity! This week is the NYS Math test-Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings from 9:30-about 11. Please try not to schedule any appointments at this time and make sure your child is on time for school. Thanks and have a great week!
FYI-The kids are running low on pencils, glue sticks and loose leaf paper. If you have any at home that you could send in, that would be great!
