Field Trip Reminder

Science Discovery Museum

Friday we will be spending the day at the Science Discovery Museum in Acton. Please remember to dress your child in their Field Trip T-Shirts . If you feel your child will be cold, children may wear their shirts over a long-sleeve shirt/sweater.

We will be leaving school at 9:00AM, after a morning snack, and returning in time for regular dismissal. We will have lunch in our classrooms when returning. Please keep pack your child with a peanut-free lunch.

If you are chaperoning and riding the bus, we ask that you arrive to school by 8:45am

Thanks and we look forward to a fun trip!

Valentine's Day!

Valentine’s Day

Dear Parents,

Our plan is to celebrate Valentine’s Day on Friday, February 12th. Due to unexpected weather/snow days, which may occur, we will keep you updated with any changes as soon as possible.

On the day of our celebration, we have special learning activities planned, including a Valentine’s card exchange. Below is a class list of the students in Room 5. We encourage students to write out their own valentines.  One suggestion is doing 2-3 valentines a day leading up to our celebration.  The experience will help with their writing skills as well as building a stronger connection to their friends. Please help to avoid hurt feelings by sending in a card for each member of our class. Cards can be homemade or store bought, however NO candy and/or food may be sent in. Families are welcome to send in non-food items for classmates. This is not required.

Valentines can be sent in starting in February, but are due on February 12th the latest. We will also be having a Party in a Bag snack. Look out for more details to come as we near the date of our celebration! Thank you for helping your child prepare for this special event. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Welcome Rainbow & Cloud!

We have gerbils! 

Mrs. Pavlicek has read our persuasive letters and she has allowed us to take care of 2 gerbils!

Meet Rainbow and Cloud!

Mrs. P talked to the class about gerbils and their care. 

We promised to keep their cage clean and even exercise it in their ball or wheel. 

Paper-Towel Rolls & Toilet-Paper Rolls

A gerbil's teeth are constantly growing, they never stop! In order to help them control their teeth from growing too long they chew on cardboard rolls, much like the ones you have in your house!

If you have any paper-towel rolls or toilet-paper rolls please have your child bring them in. The gerbils will love to have a new toy to play with and chew!
