Zooming into April... April's book project will be based on choosing just right books. I just assessed each child's reading level and will be going over those with you at conferences. They have made so much growth since September and I really can't wait to share with you. I will help the child make a choice of a book, it can be any genre, from our wonderful school library. We will complete the project together in class at the end of April. | Upcoming Events

Spanish Spotlight
Our students have been working very hard on their owl projects and have made some great observations! Did you know the wingspan of an owl is about half of it's height? Mrs. Bishop has been teaching the students (and to be honest, myself) about adjectives in Spanish and how to ask and answer a question such as "Whose gloves are these?" ¿De quién son estos guantes? This purposeful integration has made both projects more meaningful and memorable for the students.
