Parents,
Please remember that Monday is an early release day. Morning class is from 8:30 to 10:30 and afternoon class is from 11:00 to 1:00.
We just got our eggs to incubate from the Fremont high school FFA program. The eggs should hatch around May 8th. It is always amazing to watch this process! To go along with this we will be talking about the life cycle of a chicken this week.
We will be putting the finishing touches on our class play Anansi and the moss covered rock. You should be getting an invitation but just in case this does not make it home here are the important details. The performance will be Friday April 26th in the small gym. The morning class will perform at 10:30 am and the afternoon class will be at 2:00 pm.
This week we will be finishing up our study of fruits. On Wednesday we will be making a fruit salad. Please send your child with a piece or small serving of their favorite fruit. If their favorite fruit is watermelon (or any melon) please only send a slice 😉
We will talk about the animals of the African grasslands as well as introduce our next simple machine, the pulley.
