Here is a little look ahead at May:
Please note that our field trip to Maplewood Farm is coming up on the 17th (still missing forms from 4 people).
Also, on Friday we will be conducting an Emergency Release Drill. This is something that we are required to do every two years. We will be practicing releasing all of our students to their caregivers just as we would in the event of a real emergency. Students will only be released to adults who are listed as emergency contacts. Adults will be asked to show picture ID. Adults will "register" in the gym and once ID has been checked, a student runner will come to the classroom to escort the students to the meeting place in the gym. Students will remain in the classroom until a runner comes to retrieve them. I believe the drill is scheduled to being at 1:00pm. Please check emails that have been sent by the school for further information.
Also, we have had another head lice case in our class. Please check your child's head regularly. If you do find lice and/or nits, please comb regularly (daily for at least a week) to remove any nits/lice that might be remaining. Treating with shampoo alone only takes care of the live lice that are on the head at the time. We have also had lots of chats in the classroom about not touching other people's heads/hair and not sharing hats.
Miss Maria had us doing lots of measuring today. We revisited the items that we measured last week, to refresh our memories and we compared all of those measurements (which is longer, which is shorter, which are equal).
We collected all of our data on a big chart so it was easy to compare the information.
Then we worked with a partner to measure each other using non-standard units. Some used different blocks….
some used straws and connectors….
some lined up rulers, end to end...
and then we counted!
