Chick
Embryology Unit
Mrs. Fish (a parent from our district) will
be coming to our school on Friday, May 1, 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.
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.

This
week we read the book, Tadpole’s Promise by Jeanne Willis and
Tony Ross. Ask your child to retell the story to you.
