A huge thank you to all my wonderful students who made a picture or story for Emersyn who has been very sick.

 

It is so great to see that the kids care about her so much and want to make her smile.

 

She is doing much better.  She continues to get a  little better each day!

 

 

Thanks for caring kiddos, you have such wonderful hearts!

Chick City

 

We will be doing "Chick City" tomorrow from 11:00 - 11:45 am. 

 

Our chick eggs for some unknown reason have not hatched yet.  Mrs. Prawdzik and I are doing some investigating to figure out what the problem is.   So we will be doing another chick hatch with our class after the Easter break.

 

The kids are dealing with the news well.  They wanted to continue with "Chick City" tomorrow with the chicks that hatched in Mrs. Prawdzik's class.

 

So what we will do is have another mini chick city when we do the rehatch of chicks in our classroom after Easter.

 

If you would like to join us for "Chick City" tomorrow please feel free.

HELPERS NEEDED

 

 

IMPORTANT ---Help Needed for Pysanky Egg Decorating!!!

 

Dear Parents:

 

As part of our Social Studies program, one of the countries that we are studying is the Ukraine.  One part of the program is to look at traditions and celebrations.  We will be doing traditional Ukrainian Pysanky (egg decorating) and are in need of parental assistance. The kids will be working with traditional pysanky tools and using candles to melt bee’s wax.  If you are willing to help please fill in the form below and check off the times you are available.  Due to the nature of the activity we cannot accommodate younger siblings.

Thank you for all your help and support.  Parent assistance IS REQUIRED for this activity, as candles will be used to melt wax and kids will need help to complete the delicate egg dying process.  If you can assist on any of the days below please complete the form and return to school as soon as possible. 

 

If you are able to assist on more than one day that would be great. J

 

Please check the date that you can assist on below.   Tues, April 29 --- 12:25 – 1:55 pm         ____   Thurs, May 1  --- 10:15 – 11:45 am          ____   Monday, May 5  --- 10:15 – 11:45 am        ____   Tues, May 6   ---  2:05 – 3:00 pm            ____

 

 

Thank you taking the time to help make learning in our classroom a fun experience.  This is an amazing opportunity for your child to experience the true aspects of Ukrainian culture.

 

Sincerely,

Mrs. C Barker
