Art Museum Trip Tomorrow!

In preparation for our field trip to the Milwaukee Art Museum tomorrow, the children looked and talked about various art work, heard a story about Salvador Dali, and illustrated a still life of apples and a pear in a wooden bowl.  They also went to the Art Museum website to create and learn about different works of art.  The link to this website is on our two clicks to the right.  Here are some pictures of the children enjoying the art.

We joined the great mail race!

After receiving a letter from a fourth grader named Brylee from Austin, Texas, the class decided to join the great mail race.  Each of the students is writing a letter to a fourth grader from somewhere in the country.  We will be able to reach 26 states.  In the letters, the students are telling about themselves, Kozy, and the state of Wisconsin.  The children will pick their states and send their letters on Friday.  Make sure to ask your child where they sent their letter to.

Literacy Station Open House

Thank you to all the parents who were able to attend last night's open house.  I hope you enjoyed seeing the literacy stations that have been incorporated into the curriculum.  The focus of the stations is to promote higher level thinking skills and creativity as it relates to stories.  The work from the stations will come home today.  Below are some pictures from the evening.

Open House Tomorrow Night

Reminder to families!  Tomorrow night will be our annual academic night.  Come see what the students work on during literacy station time and view the products they recently have been working on.  It will be from 6:00-7:30. 

Come early and have dinner too.  There will be a hot dog dinner from 5:00-6:00 with the proceeds going toward after school academic clubs.

See you then!

Science Test Tomorrow

Just a reminder to study for the science test that will be given tomorrow.  A study letter went home yesterday and we played "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" to review for the test.

Earth Rounds

Thank you so much to the parents who sent in the food for the children to make Earth Rounds.  The students learned about our natural resources on the planet and why it is important to conserve those resources.
