Highlights of the Week March 4, 2016

Hello families,

Just a short note from our short week back together. On Wednesday we had an amazing show put on by Troy Wonderle of Wonderle's Big Top Adventures. On Thursday and Friday we had our first circus classes to practice skills for our Monkey Act for the circus next Friday March 11th. (We will also have 2 more circus classes next Tuesday and Thursday.) We hope you'll be able to come see our show here at Rumney!

Troy asked for our/your help in getting costumes together for our monkeys. He says not to go out and buy new clothes but with your child check out what options you have. He has requested children in our class have matching or close to matching top/bottoms colors in dark colors--but we don't all have to have the same colors. (For example your child could wear: black pants/black shirts, brown pants/brown shirts, dark blue pants/dark blue shirts, dark gray pants/dark gray shirts, or tan pants/tan shirts.) It's okay if a shirt has a design or picture on it--we can easily turn it inside out for a solid color. Please let me know by Monday if you don't have clothes options for your child and I can check our dress up supply here in my magical school closet!

We continued reading books related to our science topic of Landforms and Bodies of Water. We also read The Foot Book and Oh, the Places You'll Go to celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday on Wednesday.

We learned about a new kind of writing we will be doing more frequently--responding to literature. It's a type of opinion writing that connects your ideas, experiences, and feelings to a book you have read. We did our first one ever on Thursday. Did you see it come home?

Dates to Remember
Friday March 11 -- Rumney's Wunderle Big Top Show (in our gym) with the show beginning at 2:15 pm! Come one, come all--and enjoy our show!
