Field Trip tomorrow

Don't forget that tomorrow is our field trip to the Lexington Children's Theater. If you signed up to chaperon, we will meet you at the theater around 9:35 or shortly after.  We appreciate the parent and grandparents that volunteered to chaperon.    We will be seeing Jack and the Wonder Bean.   We are asking all students to wear their Wellington t-shirt.  Also, don't forget to pack a lunch if your child signed up to do so.  

We  will return to school to eat lunch.  The weather is simply warm enough for us to visit the park.

 

Student enjoyed our "scoot" telling time to the hour activity.  We also learned about "elapsed time" today.  This is an important skill to understand.    

 students are "rockin -around- the clock" and telling time to the hour, half-hour and minute.  

 The students really enjoy these hands on learning experiences.

 

 We are learning that not all rock sink. As your child what type of rock floats. 

 Rayyan is the super star student for this week. Make sure and congratulate him if you see him.

Reading clubs have all been super busy this week. 

 

Ms. Tipton is working one on one to assess each student's reading level.  She will be sharing their growth with parents during the 4th quarter conferences. 

 

We have been working very hard on telling time, and sequences events that take place at various times of the day. 

Hopper and Swimmy are now in their natural habitats.  They live in the pond at Willow Oak. 

Every student presented their power point and was graded by a peer.  This was a learning experience for everyone. 

Snack time is one of the favorite times of the day for everyone.  Please keep in mind that we all need a health small size snack.  I know that the children are hungry, but we only have 5-10 minutes for snack time.  It is usually a working time too, so we keep on learning while we are eating.  Alex enjoys his daily snack also. 

Many of the student made their final revisions to their power points after presenting to the class. 

Enjoy the beautiful weather.     I  look forward to enjoying the sunshine too.
