Happy long weekend!  I hope you are enjoying your time with family and friends this weekend.  We had a busy week with many Spring and Easter activities.  The children drew on hard boiled eggs and then dyed them on Monday and also created bunny bags for their goodies!  On Tuesday, we had our Spring party.  Thank you to all of our volunteers and for our food and drink donations.  A great time was had by all.  The children had the opportunity to circulate through 6 activities, including writing a bunny card, designing an Easter egg on aluminum foil, constructing a stand-up bunny, assembling a puzzle by counting by 10's, creating a chick and making a fun bunny face.  We also started our working on measurement by sequencing Easter eggs from the smallest to the largest.  The students also played a variety of games using sight words on plastic eggs.  These activities will continue next week.

     
     We will be visiting the book fair in the library on Wednesday and Friday this week.  There is a new format which is explained in the Parent Bulletin.  During our first visit on Wednesday morning, the children will be creating a wish list of books they would like to purchase.  This list will be sent home with your child.  On Friday, you may send cash or your credit card number and your child may purchase some items from their wish list.  The book fair is also open Thursday and Friday for you to visit with your child.  As always there is no obligation to purchase books.  Both of our book fair visits are scheduled for the morning. Please see Ms. McGee if you have any questions.  This is a new format, so we are all learning the procedure.
     In the computer lab this week, the children went on BookFlix and explored stories about Easter and bunnies.  The students played a game called Rice Crispies and Duck, duck goose.
     A reminder that there is no school on Monday, so mailbags should be returned to school on Tuesday to exchange Snuggle Up books.  Thanks in advance.
