Field Trip
We are so lucky to have so many people volunteer to be chaperones. I'm sorry we can't bring all of you. As promised, I put the names in a hat and chose randomly. The five chaperones will be Lisa Moscoffian, Andrus Madsen, Liane Hage, Henry Chow, and Olga Dremov.
I'm very sorry to have to refuse so many generous volunteers. Please remember there are two more field trips, and everyone is welcome to chaperone the field trip to Boston in May.
Weather
We did an experiment on Tuesday where your child worked with a thermometer to learn more about this important tool and how to measure temperature. Children dipped a thermometer into cold water and then very warm water and read the subsequent temperatures. Watching the mercury rise was fascinating! Then we made our own paper thermometers, which are proudly on display in our classroom.
Today, we used another weather instrument--an anemometer! We went outside and watched it whirl around. It was rather thrilling! Ask your child what an anemometer is used for. Hopefully, they will know.
Chinese
Have you heard about Chinese class on Fridays? Ms. Li, a Happy Hollow parent, generously offers her time each week to give us a short Chinese enrichment lesson. Your child can probably tell you the Mandarin words for some parts of the body, and he or she may be able to sing "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes" in Chinese as well. We are lucky to have this special learning opportunity each week.
Math
We are finishing our unit on Addition and Subtraction Within 20 and moving onto Place Value. Our class works in small groups during Math Stations twice a week, and I am looking forward to having you (yes, you!) join us. Hopefully, some parents will be able to sign up to come in and help us during this fun, enriching learning time. I will send a sign up link with next Monday's Memo.
Have a great week!
