Chick Embryology
Unit
Mrs. Fish (a parent from our district) will
be coming to our school on Tuesday, April 29, to give a presentation on
chickens. She will be bringing a couple
of her own chickens for the children to see and touch (if they want to). She is very knowledgeable about chickens and
will answer any questions the children may have thus far. She will also be taking our baby chicks home
with her a couple of days after they hatch.
She brings several of them back each week for 2-3 weeks to let the
children see the changes that occur.
Nedas was our last
“student of the week.” We will not have any more “students of the week”
this year. Instead, I will choose a
different student each day to be my helper for the day. This way everyone will get at least one or
two more chances to lead the calendar and be the line leader before the end of
the school year.
Blackberry
Farm Field Trip
All first grade classrooms will be going on
a field trip to Blackberry Farm sometime in June. I will send out more information as the time
gets closer. If you are interested in
chaperoning, please send me an email. I
would like to take as many chaperones as possible, but I am not sure how many
we are allowed to bring. I will let you know as soon as I find out.

We won’t be reading a new story in Making
Meaning next week. Instead, we will be
