BLUE NOTES

Friday, April 10th

We are learning so many exciting story elements as we continue reading and writing Fairy Tales!  This week we worked on how to describe a fairy tale character using interesting words that readers would enjoy.  These firsties are doing an amazing job understanding the story elements of character, setting, problems and solutions that are in most fairy tales.  Here is some of the work that these firsties have been doing:

               

More photos coming soon!

And, our Fairy Tale Ball will at the end of April.  I will send the date and time next week.

And,  as you can see, we are getting ready for the Grand Opening of the Elm Creek Garden Center and Insect Habitat!  Our insects have arrived, and we will begin our garden work soon.

We could use some house plants or maybe some small plants from a Garden Center to “stock” our Garden Center before our seedlings begin to sprout.  If you can send a plant, just let me know if you need the pot returned. We will have a “Garden Party” in mid-may to plant our straw bale gardens.  I will send the date later this month.

Also, please send a pack of colored pencils for your firstie to use as we document our plant and insect observations and explorations in our Science Notebooks.  We also need cardboard egg cartons.

We are enjoying our learning in spring!
