Hello Parents & Students!

Welcome back. I hope everyone was able to have an enjoyable relaxing break last week. We will jump right back into our usual routine this week working on words that end in "-ed" and "-en" along with new sight words: out and who. We will continue to talk about our Language Arts theme of "In the Neighborhood." In math, we will continue to talk about money and you may start to hear your child asking if they can count the coins for you at home!!

We have some very fun events coming up this week too. Molly Erdahl will be coming in on Wed. morning to teach us our last lesson for our Adventures in Art series and in the afternoon we will be heading to the Lowry Nature Center to learn about Maple Syruping - which goes along perfectly with our year-long tree unit in science. Please make sure your child comes dressed for the weather as the majority of our field trip is outside. Thanks!

Monday, please look for your child's picture order form in their backpack. If you would like your child to take a spring picture, then you must send back the order form by Friday (March 26th). If your child does not have an order form, their picture will not be taken (this is different than in the fall).

Have a great week!!

We are ready to begin a 5-day week! Last week was fun - the students loved the play, The Snowy Day, at STAGES theater. They did such a good job at sitting in their seats and being a good audience. I hope your children enjoyed the 3-day weekend!
This week we have some more exciting things to come. We are starting a new theme in Language Arts called "Let's Play!" - we will be focusing on learning new letters, sight words and reading some new stories.

Mrs. Beuscher will also be introducing us to our first lesson in "Adventures in Art" - this is a program sponsored by the PTA which exposes our students to pieces of art that are currently being shown at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. This is a program where parents volunteer their time teaching the students about different art pieces and the artists, then the students will get to make an art project of their own.

Let's have a wonderful week!
