Oceans part one

This week we are talking about Oceans and all the animals we see in the ocean.  We might see Crabs, Seahorse, Octopus, Jellyfish, whales, or dolphins!  We made a dolphin with a banana and the students enjoyed eating it once the project was complete.  We also worked hard on a Mother’s Day card activity too!  Hope you enjoy your presents!!! 

This week in math we are talking about patterns.  We can make a pattern by color, by size (big and little) and we can make a pattern with real objects!!!  We are having a great time learning how to independently do our work and keep up with others.  You can ask your child how to pattern by color or size or have them pattern toys or household objects such as forks and spoons or colored legos.  Anything can be a pattern!

This was our last time for music.  We finished learning all our new dance moves for our big ECS dance party on Tuesday!  The students are so excited to show off their moves!

Don’t forget we are finished with our library classes. 

The last day to return books is May 18^th.

Please remember as our numbers increase to always, always, always label your child’s belongings.  We have had several students forget their jacket or snack items.  If they are labeled this makes it so much easier for the students to find their name.

As a reminder, ECS was challenged for each family to collect 25 box tops and send them in during the month of February.  If every student brought in just 25 box tops each, we would collect over 20,000 box tops in just one month, which would be more than $2,000 dollars.  We also encourage everyone to ask extended family to collect them as well.
