week March 20th

The students enjoyed celebrating St. Patrick’s Day in the Oceanarium. The student enjoyed ice cream with rainbow sprinkles, green whip cream, a green Oreo cookie, ands green juice. The students worked very hard on making their Leprechaun Catcher. They were very creative. Please have your child explain their box to you.  I’m sad to say that we did not catch a Leprechaun. The Leprechauns did leave a pot with gold, green coin, green special rock and a gold necklace.

Last week, the students enjoyed Junior Mints and Jelly Beans. Also, the students made jellyfish. A colorful colony of jellyfish may be seen free-swimming in the oceanarium.
Last Friday, Mikayala’s Mom, Ms. April, came in and introduced some of her puppets to the class. Our class met Andy and Officer Goodman. The students were amazed when the puppets talked.

Our class spelled the word Attendance, and we had our popcorn party last Friday. Please make sure your student is getting plenty of rest so they don’t get sick. Our class really wants to have another popcorn party before the quarter ends.

Last week, each student made a vase. The students also ate Verona cookies. Thank you to all the students who brought in Dr. Seuss books to share with the class.

In honor of Dr. Seuss’ Birthday, the students made crowns and wore “Thing One” hats. Last Friday, Dr. Seuss’ Birthday, Ms. Janet read the book Green Eggs and Ham to the class, and then she made them green eggs and ham. The class loved it.

Thank you to all the families that have turned in Box Tops!
