READ-A-THON
Thank you to all of the families who supported our Read-a-thon.  We had lots of fun reading outside as a whole school and choosing which literacy baskets to try to win.  Congratulations to all of the winners!

 

SPRING CONCERT

I have a few photos of the Spring Concert.  But mine are of the dress rehearsal which took place outside at an earlier time.

 

 

BABY FIONA

Mrs. Culley and baby Fiona came for their second "Seeds of Empathy" visit.

 

 

BUTTERFLIES

Our caterpillars have now all transformed into their chrysalis stage.  We just have to wait now (a week or 10 days) before our butterflies emerge.  These are Painted Lady butterflies and we will release them after observing them for a few days.

 

ART

Our "Japanese Bridge and Water Lily Pond" paintings have been hanging up on the hallways bulletin board since the Spring Concert.  Hopefully you had a chance to see them.  These painting are inspired by the artist Claude Monet and his water lily paintings.



We have also been working on a number of clay pieces for art.  We made a pinch pot, a coil pot, a clay animal and a cross medallion.  These pottery pieces are off to the kiln to be fired.

 

OUR TRIP TO THE AVIATION MUSEUM
We had a great field trip to the Aviation Museum.  Thank you to all of the parents who drove and stayed with us.  We learned a lot about Position and Motion.  The highlight was building and testing our own Lego vehicles (using wheels and axles).
Thank you to Lawrence's dad for sharing these photos with us.
