Our trip to Storrowton Village a couple weeks ago was a big success. It is a well thought out program in a very well designed replica of an early nineteenth century New England village. They do a good job highlighting important elements of a child’s life back then. The dressing up is a big plus. We are lucky to have it nearby. Thanks again to Megan Florek for chaperoning.
There is a lot coming up in the next few weeks. The Bird Fair will take place on Monday, April 2. Projects are to be done at home, as is typing the report. The research and draft are being done at school. Kids will be displaying their projects and speaking about their bird. The second and fourth grades will be coming to learn from the experts. We will start at about 1:00 and go until about 2:45. Please stop by and check it out if you can.
The day after the Bird Fair, Tuesday, April 3 is the first day of the Language Arts MCAS. Wednesday, April 4 is the second day of testing. The message about MCAS is that it is important and kids should do their best, but nothing bad happens if they don’t do well. Sometimes there are rumors to that effect circulating around. It is important that they are rested. Please do what you can to help them get a good sleep and have a good breakfast. They are allowed to bring gum to chew during the testing. Please do not send them with candy.
As if this isn’t enough for the first week of April, we will be hosting Common Area on Friday, April 6.
Hope to see you at the Bird Fair or Common Area, or anywhere else.
