Hello Letter Land!
I hope everyone was able to keep warm today as our crazy weather threw us all off. I am truly sorry to have canceled our Math Madness. The kids were so excited to show all of you how much fun we have with math each day. I really want to reschedule it soon, so hopefully many of you can still make it out. I understand if it won't work, but we'll try!
We've had tons of fun the last couple of weeks. We are finishing up our Ancient History unit on Mesoamerica and have enjoyed learning about the Maya, Aztec and Inca civilization. We also had a special guest visit from Connor Jones' grandfather. He is a pathologist and was so kind to bring some human organs to show us. We learned all about human hearts and lungs. We saw what can happen when people don't take care of their health and their organs fail them. It was a wonderful treat and we are so grateful to have had this experience. Check out our pictures below and the poll on favorite civilizations (to right of page)!
We have also been working really hard in Math and Reading to prepare for our benchmarks next week. Please make sure all the kids are getting enough rest and well-balanced meals. Both assessments are going to take a good deal of time, so the kids need to be ready!
I look forward to seeing many of you on Kite day next Friday. A huge thanks to the Jones' family for providing a great idea with the homemade kites! It will be tons of fun. Remember, everyone is welcome to come. We will start the whole process at 12:30 and begin flying at 2:15.
That is it for now. However, I don't think I have told you lately how much I love your children! They bring smiles to my face all day, everyday (even when they tell you I wasn't smiling... :). They are amazing children and I cherish every moment with them. Thanks for being wonderful parents and allowing me into your lives.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Love, Miss Urban
