Walking Trip!
Tomorrow we will be leaving school at 8:30 and going to see the bee hives and then to the museum to see the farm exhibit. We will be back at school in time for lunch. Please have your child wear sunscreen, sneakers ( no sandals or flip flops), and a hat and sunglasses. Since we will be walking, I have suggested they might want a fanny pack with a small bottle of water and snack to eat while walking ( suggestions, fruit roll up, granola bar, etc.) Thanks!

Hello everyone!
Tomorrow is field day so .... remember proper clothing and sneakers, water, and sunscreen. We will be going outside at 9am. Just a reminder, the kids earned the privilege of not having the formal reading folder each night but they know they are on their honor to read 1 and a half hours a week. Most of them have indicated they are doing so. They still have weekly spelling and should be studying their math facts, telling time and counting money!
We had a wonderful afternoon visiting the 3rd grade. They children toured Mrs. Boothman's room, asked the kids questions and looked at their books. It was lots of fun and I hope this will ease some of the apprehension they may have.
We also had some very exciting news. Each classroom will be getting 4 new computers.
Dates to remember:
June 11th field day
June 14th in school assembly (am)
June 16th walking field trip to museum 8:30-11:30; this date is confirmed
June 18th penny carnival in pm
June 23rd all school assembly 1 pm
Report cards will go home on the 23rd. If your child is not in school on the 23rd the report cards will be mailed.

Field Trips This Week!
Tomorrow is our field trip to Watson Farm! Then on Thursday we will be going to RISD and Roger Williams park! It will be a fun week and I am looking forward to seeing some or all of you. Thanks. Please make sure your child is getting enough sleep each night as we will be having some end of the year testing. Have a good week and I hope to see you!

Good morning everyone!
It is such a beautiful day out. My meteorologists (I have 14 of them now) are telling me there is rain for tomorrow. If you haven't looked at last week's blog, there are some important dates for you. It's hard to believe that summer is almost here and school will be over. I have enjoyed this year so much with all your children. They are so enthusiastic and love to read and learn. As the school year is coming to a close, if any of you would like to conference about your child's progress, please let me know so I can make an appointment for you between now and the first week in June. It gets a little hectic the last week of school. Have a good week everyone!

Fantastic!
Like Charlotte who leaves clues and messages in her web, I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. We are moving forward with the farm unit and have a couple of field trips planned. Please put the dates on your calendar and join us if you can. On May 14th we will be touring channel 10. This will mostly be inside but if it is nice out we will be eating snacks and lunch outside. The permission slips are in the backpacks today. May 25th is the second grade annual trip to Watson Farm. It is a long and sometimes hot day. Please send plenty of water. Then on May 27th will be a trip for our class only. Thanks to a generous parent we will be going to RISD to look at the artifacts from Asia. Then we will go to the National Park for lunch and a program before returning to school. In the classroom we are moving forward with our studies. We are right on target for finishing all the second grade work. Have a great week!

Welcome Back!
We're back into full swing in the classroom. This week we will finish the unit on Asia. It has been fun learning about China, Japan and Korea. I wish we had more time! The museum artifacts have been sent home today. Our next unit will be the unit on farms and weather. This Friday we will be going to Casey Farm to learn about farm equipment and simple machines and how they help make farming easier. On May 14th we will be visiting channel 10 to investigate how the meteorologists predict and forecast the weather. The permission slips will be coming home next week. Please save the date if you would like to chaperon. We are on time for finishing the math and spelling units. Next week will be our last formal lesson on the 6 Traits but we are never finished writing. It would be fun to have a culminating activity at the end of school. Does anyone have any ideas? It has been such a great year with your children, they have grown up before my eyes and it would be fun to celebrate their accomplishments!
