 Hello! I hope you all had a great vacation. The beautiful weather is finally here! We learned about rivers this week. We will finish up rivers and begin oceans next week. We took a trip to The Grand in Ellsworth to see Charlotte's Web on Thursday. We had Flex Friday today. Ask your child which elective they picked! We sadly said good-bye to our student teacher, Miss Tkacs. Thankfully, she will be subbing in the building this Spring so we will still see her occasionally. She was overwhelmed and loved the party we gave her. Thank you for all of your help with that!!

Hello! April Vacation is here! I can't believe it! This year is going way too fast! We had a GREAT week! The kids LOVED sharing their play and all of their projects with you! Thank you all for coming in. It meant so much to the kids. Hopefully, you were able to view the video, too.  

We wrapped up our Environmental / Rainforest Unit. We will be "traveling" down the Penobscot River to the Atlantic Ocean when we return from break. Some other things to look forwards to as we end our year are: Dragon Day (when we finish our Dragon Master's series), reading Charlotte's Web and visiting the UMaine barns, Charlotte's Web the musical (Thursday, May 16th in Ellsworth), Flex Fridays and lots more daily fun!

I hope you all have a great vacation. Please make sure your child keeps reading over vacation. Board games are great for math and family bonding! :) If you get out walking around, check out the Veazie river walk to get ready for our next unit!

We learned about Ramadan/ Eid Al-Fitr.
