Dear Parents and Guardians,
Our week was filled with geology, as we finished our rock study! Your children are almost certified Geologists, as they completed their rock observations. We have happily moved on to minerals this week, and you can soon ask them how they observe luster, light, and other ways to observe the delicate minerals that we may come across daily! We also "visited" the West region of the United States today, so please be ready to hear all about the West at home!
Classroom/Muraco Announcements:
In writing, the children have continued to work very hard to research information on an assigned state. Packets from states have started to fill my mailbox, and soon your children will be creating "Yelp" reviews on their state! The next step will continue be to put the research together and create an essay or slideshow to showcase what has been learned!
Tissues/Hand Wipes: It’s that time of year again... our tissue supply and hand wipe supply is running dangerously low. If you can spare/send in a couple of boxes or tubes, it would be greatly appreciated!
