Wow! It
certainly was a fantastic week!
First off, I would like to thank all the parents who came to read to us
in celebration of Read Across America week. The kids loved having you, and we hope that you all will
come back to read again soon.
Also, a big thanks goes out to all the parents who brought in food and
came to our Fairy Tale Parade. It
was a huge success! The kids
looked positively adorable dressed as their favorite fairy tale character. Let’s see, we had Rumpelstiltskin, many
Princesses, Prince Charming, several Knights, Humpty Dumpty, Mary from Mary
Had a Little Lamb, a couple of Kings, Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk,
Little Red Riding Hood, a Kitten, and many, many more fairy characters who
marched in our parade. We
certainly put on quite a show!
This past week, we were busy little bees in the
classroom. In celebration of Dr.
Seuss’ birthday, we read Bartholomew and the Oobleck. This classic Dr. Seuss tale is about a
king who has grown tried of the sunshine, the rain, the snow and the fog
falling down from his sky, so he commissions his magicians to whip up something
new – oobleck, of course! Naturally, utter chaos ensues, and the king
ultimately learns a very available lesson. Afterwards, we made our very own oobleck, which the
kids absolutely loved doing! And,
why wouldn’t they? After all, it was
messy! We spent some time
discussing whether oobleck was a solid or a liquid. Our class came to a conclusion. What did you all decide at home? We also have been working on writing our own fairy tales,
and we will finish those up this week.
Your students have come up with some very creative fairy tales, and I
cannot wait for them to read their finished stories to each of you!
I would also like to share with all of you a project Ms.
Beller and I have posted on Donors Choose, which is an online charity were
public school teachers can post classroom project requests. Specifically, we are trying to raise
money for a Samsung Galaxy Tablet to use in the classroom with the kids. I encourage you to check out our site,
and please feel free to share our project with your friends, family and
co-workers. On March 12, Donors
Choose will be matching every donation given. We will post the match code here for those of you interested in donating to this project.
Again, thank you all so much for your continued
support! I hope you have a
fabulous week!
Educationally Yours,
Ms. Bruner
