This first week of Spring, we will be doing a variety of special activities to celebrate the new season! We have been learning about the winds of March, and will create items that can catch the wind. In science we will experiment more with the forces of push and pull.

Two very special events will occur on Thursday (which is the last day of school for students before Spring Break). The first is the K-Team's first-ever Spring-Fling Fruit Fair. Three of the K classes will rotate between rooms and do fun learning activites with unusual fruits. If you are available to help out with this event, please contact us as soon as you can. Also on Thursday, Mrs. C is planning a Lunch Bunch Easter Egg Hunt for those students who stayed on green behavior for the month of March.

Our class has submitted an entry to our school science fair, which will be held today. If you get a chance, stop by the school to see our information board. If you cannot make it, just have a look at this video:
