I apologize for not posting during this last school week...we were busy every moment of every day! I am proud to say that this is the first week where we were able to get through all of the curriculum I had intended to teach and then some! Mrs. Hill observed us during our writing time and was impressed with the writing ability in our classroom. We have several students who are very talented in this area! Last week we also started our lima bean project where we placed the beans in a wet paper towel to observe how long it takes this bean to germinate, or sprout. The kids were so excited with this little experiment we will be planting several seeds this coming week and compare and contrast their roots and germination cycles.
It was nice to see many of you at open house last Thursday evening. I look forward to seeing you one on one in a few weeks for parent teacher conferences. Please look for a sign up sheet coming home later this week.
