Monday Letter

Dear Parents,

I hope you all had a wonderful time with your family and beloved ones during the March Break and the long weekend!

Lets take a quick look at the last 2 weeks...

the Spirit week! we had so much fun.... a picture with all students from the Character Day will be sent via email.

In Math, we finished studying all about Measurement and a project will be completed in class and partially at home soon. Here a tableau form the drama scene based on the Math book ''How long is a foot?'' where students played the roles of the story characters and measured the bed for the queen.

Also, some pictures of the students working in Math centers on the same topic...

       Mini project: measuring aria and perimeter of their first names...      

             

In Arts, with Mr Singbeil, students worked on a very delicious project: creating a cereal box cover

For the earth hour, held on Friday, March 18, students made a collage and wrote a message about how they can help protect the Earth.

Here are some pictures from the last week`s science experiments we did in class about liquids and solids.

                                    

This coming week: as you already know from my email, on Tuesday, March 29, we are hosting an art expert and we are going to work on the project: building 3-D building in our community.

Gentle reminder: please let your child bring to school a few recyclable items that can be used for our project ( see last Thursday`s email for details)

Also on Tuesday and Wednesday, Ms Adler will be teaching us Pilates!
Gentle reminder: please send to school a yoga mat, if possible.

Please note the due date for Scholastic order: Friday, April 1st ( no jokes...)


Have a nice week everyone,

Mme Paraschiv

Dear Parents, 

hope you all had a nice weekend! 

I am very glad to notice my students are so eager to read French books to complete our Reading 100 books for children in need project we started recently. Students are taking this project seriously and commit to complete the plan of the story required as proof of the book they read. We will keep you posted when the project is finished! 

As mentioned before, this Friday we are welcoming a Scientist in School that is going to bring fun and engaging science experiments to our class related to Air and Water unit. Parents wishing to volunteer are welcomed e-mail me directly for further instructions. 
                                     In math, we are about to start learning about measuring length, perimeter and area. Specific details about how you can help your child at home could be find in the red homework duo tang. 

please see also the March Calendar with other important dates. 

have a nice week, 

Mme Paraschiv
