This week...

Dear Parents,
    
      We had a very eventful week. On Monday, we met with our fourth grade buddies and created curly fish.

Curly fish

On Thursday, we attended a presentation by the New Bedford Symphony, below you can view a video of our presenters playing the song Trout. We learned about different types of form (rhythm and repetition) and how it relates to the music we hear. 

Students have selected an Aesop fable that they would like to perform during Grandfriends' Day. Your child has taken home a script; please help them practice during the coming week.  Reminder: On Grandfriends' Day there will be 12:00 dismissal and No After School Program.

In Math this week, students have been practicing making change; we created a mock school store so that students could practice this skill. We also began studying fraction halves, fourths and thirds. 

Treasure Box: Our mystery guest this week was Mr. Rodin. He shared his biking helmet with us. Ask your child why Mr. Rodin's helmet is special to him.

Class Picnic: Our class picnic will be held on Monday, June 6th following Field Day. Mrs. Gebhard has graciously volunteered to host this fun end of the year event. All families are invited! 

Arts & Poetry Night was a big success. Thank you for joining us!

Warmly, Kristina Tomkinson
