We had a really exciting assembly today. An Olympic athlete, Debbi Sullivan, came to talk to us about her experiences. She participated in four Olympics as a race walker. Ask your child to demonstrate how to "race walk". She also asked the students what their dreams were and talked about how important it is to have goals. She told us that we were the best behaved group she has ever had. That made us all very proud. Did you know that we have a "walking" club at our school. Students can choose to walk with Mr. K during their lunch hour and earn feet for a bracelet.
We are diving into an inquiry unit on whales. The entire kindergarten and first grade are learning about the Arctic and Antarctic areas of the world. Each team is choosing to learn about a different animal from those areas. We choose whales and boy are we excited about them. Please take time to investigate whales on line or at the library with your child.
Conferences are on Wednesday next week. If you do not have a scheduled conference but would like to talk with us, please let us know.
Report cards will be sent home on Friday. Please sign the brown envelope and send it back to school.
Have an exceptional weekend and enjoy another day off.
Mrs. G and Mrs. K.
