Monday Memo 4/4/16

Good morning!

I hope you had a great weekend.  Mine started off with a bang at the HH Talent Show.  All of the student performers did a great job, including our own Ava!  This is a wonderful event run by parent volunteers, and I highly recommend it.  Maybe your child will perform in it next year!


April Homework Calendar

Attached here is the April Homework Calendar.  


Field Trip Friday!

Reminders:
  • Dress in layers.  We spend sometime outside eating snack at the picnic area, but inside, the butterfly atrium is very warm for the butterflies.
  • Please pack a lunch for our classroom picnic.  We return to school too late for our scheduled lunch time, so we must eat packed lunches in our classrooms. 
  • Remember a pocket snack.  Send a snack without nuts that can be easily transported in a jacket pocket.
  • Chaperones:  Please arrive at school at 8:30 on Friday.
STEAM Lesson

Thank you for your support of our STEAM lesson on Thursday and Friday.  The students worked in teams to build a design to slow or prevent wind and rain from changing the shape of sand dunes.  We created replicas of a beach with sand dunes in plastic trays. Each team then scoured the playground for materials for a design to protect their dunes, keeping in mind the beauty of the beach and its surroundings.  We also supplied each team with some clay and craft sticks.  Every design then faced the elements- wind (some natural, some from a blow drier) and rain and waves from a watering can.  As you can imagine, there was a great deal of excitement.

Have a great week!
