Through a Poet's Eyes

Hi boys and girls!

Hello my wonderful students! I am so glad to hear that you are teaching Ms. Fisher all about our classroom. I know that you will have a wonderful rest of the year with her and with Ms. Arnett. I really miss all of you, and enjoyed reading your comments to the blog post this afternoon. You are such sweet kids! I am still sad that I don't get to see you every day, but I promise that I will come back to visit soon. We can also use the Smartboard and web cam to talk to each other after the baby is born. Have a great day and know that I love you and miss you!

Love,
Mrs. Foster

Changes in our classroom!

We have experienced both some sad and exciting changes in our classroom over the past few days. We were very sad to say good-bye to Ms. Foster as she left to take care of her new baby boy. We were also very excited to welcome Ms. Fisher to our classroom for the remainder of the year.

Describe the feelings you have felt over the past two days. What will you miss about Ms. Foster? What makes you excited about having Ms. Fisher in the classroom?

Butterfly Field Trip

This week we went on a field trip to the All-a-Flutter butterfly farm. We learned about monarch butterflies, and got to go in a flight house with lots of monarch butterflies. Write about the time you spent in the flight house with the monarchs.

Undersea Treasure

We watched a video about Undersea Treasure and saw how people use math and science in the real world. What would you do if your job was to search for undersea treasure? How can you use math and science when you grow up?
