DEAR Day:
Wednesday, March 2 will be filled with the love of reading at Willowwind! In honor of Dr. Seuss’s birthday, Willowwind students (along with students all over the world) will Drop Everything And Read. Students are invited to wear pajamas and bring one cozy item (that can fit into a backpack) to cuddle up with while we spend the afternoon reading in the GD Space.
Word Study Update:
We are in the nose-to-the-grindstone phase of our history fair projects, and the Wolves are working SO HARD. I am incredibly proud of the level of effort I'm observing. As a reward, I'm giving them time off of word study until we return from Spring Break. We will also finish our current read aloud this week, and as that is the source of our words, this feels a natural time to break. I guarantee they are learning to spell new and interesting words each day as the complete their projects! Look for a new word list to appear the week of March 20.
Class Trip Reminder!:
The Wolf class spring trip is on the calendar! From April 11 - April 14, 2013, we will be visiting Camp Edwards YMCA Camp and Conference Center in East Troy, WI. During our stay, we will participate in numerous environmental learning programs, including climbing wall, low ropes, and zip line activities. Please note that students will not attend school on Friday, April 15.
There are many more details to come. For now, please add these dates to your family calendar and confirm with me by March 1 that your child will be traveling with the Wolves. As always, please be in touch should you have questions.
