Friday 04/28/14

Hi! Today was a fun arts and craft day! We finished our essay and got to publish our book covers! We finished up our Earth Day craft "Give a Hoot, Don't Pollute" owl poems. Lastly we were inspire by Eric Carle, author and illustrator of  The Tiny Seed (story we read in class) and painted our own paper and then cut pieces to make pedals for our flower diagrams as an extension to our Science and Reading comprehension. It was a great and fun way to end the week! 

Also, on a sad note, today was Ms. Lonis last day of student teaching. It has been a true joy to have Ms. Lonis in the classroom. She worked well with the students and it really was a big help to have 2 teachers all day long. We will miss her so much! Next Friday, she will be at our Writers Celebration (invites to come on Monday) if you would like to personally say good-bye and thank her for all the hard work she has done. 

This weekend please make sure to complete book reports. I spoke to the children about the quality of writing they need to have when completing book reports. We want to make sure they write complete sentences and use their own words to express their ideas (NO COPYING FROM BOOK). Also, NO test folders were sent home today. 

Have a great weekend! 
Ms. Juarez
