Dear Families,

I hope you are enjoying the nice weather!  We have had a great week in Room 24.  Thank you to all the families who sent in lilacs.  Our classroom looks beautiful and smells divine!!!

Here's what we have been doing in Room 24.  Ask your child...

*  what 3 attributes describes a 2D shape (sides, vertices, and is a closed shape).

*  what are the 4 American symbols we have been learning about (the bald eagle, the American Flag, the Liberty Bell, and Statue of Liberty)

*  what they are writing a review on in Writer's Workshop (a restaurant, toy, place, song, etc)

*  what book they have read in reading group this week

*  what silent e at the end of a word does to the vowel (makes the vowel say it's name) and what a syllable is (a word part-1 breath for each word part)


Here are some photos from when Curious Creatures came to visit us!

"Heads Up"

In the next week or so, I will be sending home an invitation for our Open House.  I will be looking for families to donate coffee, munchkins, fruit, muffins, etc. for our special morning...more to come on this.....

Thank you for all your support!  If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email me at hherring@email.medfield.net

Upcoming Events

Dear Families,

I wanted to give you a “heads up” on upcoming events that will take place from now until the end of the year.

• The last day to check out books from the library is May 31st.  The books are due back in the library by June 1st.  Please continue to check for overdue books and return them to the library as soon as possible.

• The children will participate in Field Day on June 1st.  Be sure your child wears   sneakers, hats, and sunscreen on this day.

•  The Book Envelopes will end on June 10th.  At this time, all books should be returned to the classroom, so that the book carts can be organized and restocked for next year’s class.

• The Flag Day Performance will be on June 14th at 9:30 AM.  This will take place in the gym.

• Our Open House is June 14th following the Flag Day performance.  This is a time to come and see our US Symbols slideshow, hear our opinion writing, and enjoy snack with us.  Please remember that due to the amount of people coming that day, we are not inviting siblings.

• On June 16th at 11:45, we will have our end of the year picnic with Mrs. Elrick’s class.   Each family is invited to bring a picnic lunch and eat outside behind the library with us.

* On June 16th we will have a Book Swap. Children are invited to bring in up to 5 books that are in good condition and grade 1 appropriate to swap for new books to read for the summer!

• Transition Day will be June 22nd.  This is when your child will take a bus over to Wheelock to meet next year’s teacher.

• The last day of school is a half day and is on June 23rd.

I hope that this is helpful when planning any future plans in the upcoming weeks!
