Crisps, Conferences and Upcoming Events

We had a blast this week during our rotations.  Many of you were up here and shared the excitement of making apple crisps in science with Kathi.  The crisps were delicious and the children learned so much while measuring and mixing!  They had enriching experiences in social studies, painting their Statue of Liberty torches and coloring their crowns.  In art they began to explore surrealism and were inspired to create a piece of art of their own.  They will continue with a study of Rene Magritte over the next month.

The new enrichment schedule starts next week.  Tracy's class will have Art with Emily on Mondays, Sherry's class will have Music with Mary on Mondays and Kathi's class will have Dance with Nicole on Tuesdays.

As a reminder, we have two minimum days coming up on the 13th and 14th for parent conferences. Please communicate with your teacher if your child is staying at school or taking the bus.  There will be a Scholastic Book Fair up at school for you to explore with your child after your conference if you have time.

We will celebrate Thanksgiving on Friday, November 22 at the end of the day.  You will find information on the Shutterfly site and in your child's folder soon.

Hope you have a fabulous week.

Kathi, Sherry & Tracy
