Happy First Full Week of March,
The countdown is officially on for Spring Break!! Students will begin their vacation on this Friday. We don't return to school until Monday March 21st.
A big THANK YOU to everyone that donated to our Starfish Sprint this year. We raised more than our school goal of $50,000!! Our PTO will be able to make lots of improvements to our school.
MOSH Field Trip
Our field trip to MOSH is this Thursday. Thank you to everyone that has already sent in the permission slip. If you haven't yet paid the cost is $15.00 for students and chaperones. Please go to https://DCPS.schoolcashonline.com to submit your payment. Please include the receipt code on the permission slip. Students are asked to bring a lunch with a drink. We will eat lunch when we return to school, so students can pack their lunches in their regular lunch box. We are asking students to wear their class shirts. This trip supports our next unit of science on space. During our trip, students will get to explore the museum in groups. We will meet at the planetarium at 11:00 to enjoy a program on space. After the planetarium we will return to school. Once back at school we will eat lunch. We will then go outside to enjoy Play Day.
Zoo Field Trip
Thank you to everyone that has returned their order form for their zoo lunch. We will be going to the zoo on Friday April 22nd. The permission slip will come home sometime in April.
Class Book
Our classes will be writing a book!! In conjunction with Studentreasures Publishing company, each student will have two pages in their classes book. One page will feature original text and the second will showcase the students' illustration that goes along with their text. Our book will be titled Science Is...A Collection of Acrostic Poems. Students will be completing their pages in class. Coming home today is an order form for you to order your child a copy of the book. Please look over the order form. If you are interested in ordering follow the directions on the form. There are directions for paying online and by sending in cash or check. At the bottom of the form their is a place for you to sign. By signing the form you are giving your permission for your child's work to included in the book. There is also a place for you to check that you are not interested in ordering at this time. If I get back all of the forms. I will get a free copy of the book that will be on display in our classroom.
The Best Part of Me As part of our social emotional unit, students will be writing a poem about the best part of themselves. I am also asking you to write a poem about the best part of your child. I am hoping that through this activity students will develop positive perspectives about themselves.
Your child will be bringing home a letter with the directions and an example poem that I wrote about my niece, and an envelope. Once you have completed your poem place it in the envelope and seal it. Please do not share your poem with child. I would like for them to read it for the first time in class.
