Our New Read Aloud

We are reading Charlotte's Web as our new read aloud and the kiddos are mesmerized by the story.  After we finish the book we will try to watch the movie if we have time.

Shape Fun

Today Mrs. Law read "Wing on a Flea" by Ed Emberly and then we used our creativity to make pictures with a shape.  Check out our voicethread below:

Science Lab: Exploring Water

Sunshine Fun

Our new thing is to eat snack outside- so much fun!

Happy Birthday Mrs. Greene

Today was Mrs. Greene's birthday and we had lots of fun singing happy birthday and giving her lots of birthday hugs. 

Our Egg Hunt

Thank you!

Thank you Parents for all the stuffed egg donations!  We are getting very excited for our egg hunt. 

If your child will be missing Friday because of a religious holiday, please let me know.  A religious absence is different from a vacation absence.

A new word study homework sheet will be sent home after Spring Break, not tomorrow.

Twin Day!

Today was school spirit day "dress as twins".  We also talked about how everyone is special and unique even if they look alike.  We read the book Unique Monique and thought of different things that make us unique. 

Winter and Spring

What Are You Doing for Spring Break?

Here are some ideas on what to do during Spring Break in Hampton Roads- the majority are free!  If you have any other ideas for parents and kiddos- please email me at rebecca.rose@vbschools or leave a comment with date/time/info.  Thanks!

Make a Butterfly House at the Home Depot

(drop in between 9-12)  FREE!

This is a favorite among my own children.

The workshops teach children do-it-yourself skills and tool safety, while at the same time helping to instill a sense of accomplishment. Additionally, this fun time allows for quality one-on-one time between adults and children.

In addition to the newly constructed project kit, each child receives a kid-sized orange apron, similar to The Home Depot associates' aprons, and an achievement pin.
