Class Play!!

Posted on April 7, 2015 by leigh.beckstead
Mark your calendars!!!  Our class will be presenting a play titled “Biomes: Animals and Plants in their Habitats” to the school on Thursday, May 21st at 2:00 PM.  Starting this week, we will be reading through the script and getting to know the characters in the play.  I will be assigning roles to the students early this week.  I will try my best to give each child one of their top 3 choices of character roles (depending on their personalities).  The students will be doing all the preparation for the play at school.  They will be memorizing lines and songs during school.  The only thing that the students are responsible for is their costumes.   I will continue to update you on play info.  Please contact me if you have any questions.  We are so excited to get started with this fun experience!!!!

Homework Change for Tonight!

Posted on April 7, 2015 by leigh.beckstead
Dear Parents,
After some review, I have decided to change the homework for tonight.  I want our kids to really understand how to read time before we move onto time interval.  I will be sending home the homework tonight for your  child, so look for it in their backpack.  The homework will be different the rest of the week than what is assigned, and the math test will be pushed into next week sometime.  If you have any concerns or questions, feel free to contact me.
Thanks,
Ms. Beckstead
