Dear Parents,
I can’t believe it
is already Thursday! This week has just flown by (Probably because we have been
busy and working so hard? Yes, yes….that must be it!)!
You might have
heard about Calypso the sea turtle or “Diver Dan” and I am sorry that I haven’t
filled you in earlier. A few times a
week we log into the National Aquarium Blacktip Reef Shark LIVE cam and we get
to watch all the great sea life while we eat our snack or lunch. There is sea turtle in the aquarium named
Calypso who was hurt in the “wild” and only has 3 flippers. We don’t see him every time, but when he
swims past the camera, it never fails that the firsties get super excited! Ha. Twice a day there is a diver, “Diver Dan”
that gets in the tank to feed the fish.
The times that he is usually in the tank and when we are able to watch,
don’t usually match up, but if we do ever see him = pandemonium! If you ever want to watch at home, here is
the link!
Did your firstie
tell you about a few new things that we did this week? Basketball Words? Alphabet Karate? Tic-Tac-Word?
Ask about them all! Below are a
few pictures of the new game that we learned, “Tic-Tac-Word”.
As you know we
have been learning about nouns, possessive nouns, and today we learned about
verbs! Below is a picture of the list that the firsties thought up, and I have
to say that I was super impressed! Stay tuned for a fun activity that we are
going to do with pipe cleaners and verbs…..Hmmmmmm……
Just a reminder
that homework that is not done at school, should be done the same night and
returned to school the very next day. We
have had a few kiddos not turn in homework this week and I need your help on
the home front to get your firstie into the habit of turning their homework on
time. Thank you!
Don’t forget to
send back in the Take Home Story Bags.
Blessings on the rest of your evening!
Miss Gallagher
