Newsletter 6/3/16

We wrapped up our last unit of study in Writing Workshop this week, editing our persuasive pieces and celebrating all of our hard work.  Please check your child’s backpack today for his/her piece and a note explaining all that we learned in this unit.

There were so many special events this Thursday.  We enjoyed the school chorus, band and orchestra in their show this morning.  Then Shakespeare on the Sound came to teach us about Hamlet!  If you haven’t been to one of these productions in Rowayton’s Pinkney Park, you must check it out.  What’s better than an evening picnic with Shakespeare under the stars?! 

All of our ladybugs are now adults!  It was fun watching them mature and letting them go after our wedding!

Of course we focused on Q and U this week!  We read QU books and wrote QU words.  We made a quilt using addition and read about Little Quack’s adventures.  We nominated one another for our wedding roles and made our letter headbands.  What a great ceremony and reception!  I am so proud of our whole alphabet!  Thank you to all of the volunteers who helped, too.  Best Wishes Q and U!
