Thursday News

Dear Parents,
From now on I am going to try to write my message on my blog instead of over email. This way you will have all of my messages in one place. Today we read a book about now and long ago. Most of it focused on a child talking with their grandparent about what it was like for them long ago. They asked questions about whether or not they had t.v when they were a kid, did they fly in a plane. Can you think of some questions that you child could ask their grandparents or some other older family member. Have them bring in the answers. You can do the writing for this if you'd like. I have not heard back as to when our picture re-take day is. I still am missing some photo envelopes. Please send back the envelope even if you aren't ordering photos. That way your child can get a class photo. This afternoon we watched a really cool video of the blue whale. Collin was reading about blue whales during reader's workshop and this sparked the idea of watching the blue whale video on our smartboard. We decided at the end of the day we will choose a good listener to pick and animal and we will find a cool video to watch of it. Ask your child what animal they would like to watch.
Have a great night,
Donna
