Dear Barn Swallow Families,
Last week Ms. Carol substituted for me while I spent a few days with my family in Wisconsin. She reported that the Barn Swallow kids did a great job while I was away!
The students designed and created bowls or plates for Mother's Day gifts. We hope you enjoyed yours. The students continued working on their needle felted animals. On Thursday we spent the day exploring Fernhill Wetland. The students spent time watching and identifying birds, and looking for changes since our visit last fall. The first graders worked on their geometry unit. They explored the relationships between various shapes (hexagon, trapezoid, rhombus and triangle). The students used these shapes in solving puzzles, and in strategy games. The second graders learned about arrays and went on an array walk in downtown Forest Grove. They worked on making array cards for multiplication facts for 2x2, 2x3, 2x4, 2x5, 3x2, 3x3, 3x4 and 3x5. Next Friday, May 24th, is our last All-School Meeting and spirit day of the year. The theme will be Beach Day. Your child may dress for the theme if interested (Please help your child select something to wear that is school appropriate, no swimwear please.).
Thank you families!
Sincerely,
Sherry
