Dear Families,
Last week turned out to be a very unusual week, with the holiday, late start, snow day, and a very wet zoo trip. It was definitely an adventure, and made for a short week together. We began the week talking about similes and metaphors, and finding examples of them in text. We reviewed the criteria for, "What makes an interesting personal narrative." On Thursday we headed off to the zoo. At the zoo, we took a class called, "Critter Coverings." We discovered how different body coverings help different creatures to survive. In the class we were introduced to a duck, a snake and a hedgehog. Each child was given the opportunity to pet each of these animals. We were able to visit the Pacific Northwest exhibit and saw wet eagles, beavers, otters, and a few other animals that were willing to come out! It was a wet day, but I think that everyone had a great time. We continued working on our forest mural. We finished the week making visits to our pea plants and recording observations in plant journals. It was a short week, but we managed to get a lot done!
Don't forget, this Friday there is no school, as the teachers will be working on report cards.Thank you families!
Sherry
