Spring is here! The children are enjoying this beautiful weather, during recess. In class, we are busy sorting items ( math ), reading and understanding non-fiction text, studying the life cycle of a butterfly ( our 4 caterpillars are now in the pupa stage ), and learning about the water cycle ( today we talked about uses of water and ways to conserve - perhaps the children will share their great thoughts on conservation). Our class is participating in a Masconomet student's 7th grade project. He is collecting letters to send to soldiers. We will be writing letters to soldiers, tomorrow, in computer lab. The children can write additional letters, at home, if they choose to. The letters should be addressed: Dear Soldier, and they should be upbeat. If your child writes letters at home, they need to be returned by next Wednesday ( May 9th).
There is still time to be a Mystery Reader. Please e mail me at: abarton@boxfordschools.org , if you would like to participate in this fun activity.
