Week 32 - April 8- April 12

Happy Friday families! Feeling ready for the weekend? I'm off to Wisconsin for the weekend to see family and friends!
We had a fun week in KB and our field trip was an amazing time! Thank you again to our chaperones. If you have any toilet paper rolls at home, please send them in on Monday for our Jane Goodall lesson. 

Congrats Bernardo for being our March

Here's a look at next week:

Our words this week will be: hat, child, ice, play, see, sea, bird, cool, earth, feed. Students will know the difference between see and sea on their spelling test by listening to a sentence.

Students will learn the difference between apes and monkeys. We will make our own binoculars and go outside to explore and study the nature around us. Later this week we will explore our final continent this year; South America. Students will learn that Spanish is the native language spoken in South America and we will learn some Spanish words! Scholars will learn about the culture, landscape, and foods in Brazil. They will explore Macchu Picchu and even create their own Play-dough ruins.
