PARENT EMAIL 4-12-20

Hello! We have a fun week up ahead as we near our April break. Much of the assignments this week have to do with a rainforest project that the kids are going to create/research to share on Friday. There are lots of ideas in the Writing Workshop part of Google Classroom. Don't go out and buy things. Use things you already have at home and just let the kids be creative. Old cereal or snack boxes turned inside out work well for art projects. This can be very simple or more involved depending on where your child chooses to take it. Each project must have some writing with it such as labels and information. 

A couple of cool space shares for those that have time:

1. Monday at 1:20 Maine astronauts, Jessica Meir and Chris Cassidy, will answer recorded student questions from the International Space Station. This is a wonderful opportunity for our kids to see/hear two astronauts that are from Maine! The link to see this is:

2. Another interesting item is the Emera Planetarium (where we went for our field trip in March) has made a video of things to see in the night sky right now in our area. They use the planetarium so it mimics our night sky. This video can be seen anytime at:

We will meet for Zoom each day at 10:00. The link for Zoom is:

Stay Healthy and I'm here if you have any questions!
