Tonight was so great! I am so proud of all the hard word the students put into the Spring Concert as well as their beautiful decorations. Well done.
I just wanted to remind team orange and team red about the spelling test this Friday. The Spelling Words are: pink blue green white black green purple red yellow Thanks for all your support and help getting the kids dressed and prepared for the concert! We will have a dress rehearsal tomorrow afternoon and the performance is at 630! Please come anytime after 6. Thanks! We are looking forward to it!
Welcome to a beautiful week! We can't wait to be outside more enjoying the sun.
This week we will be working on our final boat projects and starting to look at small creatures in Science. We tried to understand the difference between moths and butterflies today! We also had 2 practices with another class for the Spring Concert. We will performing 2 songs together- one dance and one instrumental. The invitation was sent home today! Please check backpacks for it. Today is World Book Day so each student will have 1 or 2 new(used) books in their backpack from today. We celebrated the Day Of the Book with a Book Exchange from all the donations the school accepted last week. Thanks for your generosity. The students love the new books. Information for Spring Concert in the paper copy doesn't make it home! We welcome you this Wednesday at 6:30 pm to our Spring Concert. Spring Concert 2018.pdf Picnic Style seating: For families with young children, 6 years or younger. We will offer Picnic style seating at the front of the gymnasium for best viewing. Just bring a blanket big enough for your family. Space is limited! See you all soon! Congratulations to our class for getting 2nd in the Earth Week School Wide Competition! Over the week, we had a total of 54 pieces of garbage. The winning class had 32 in grade 3/4! WOW!
The third place class was close to us with 58 pieces. The first place class was so generous and invited all top 3 classes to the Earth Day Party. We were very happy about being included since we worked so hard this week!! Thank you so much! The Earth thanks you the most! Here is a picture of the Rosscarrock Recyclers: Just a reminder that there is no school Friday.
The garbage count in our classroom has been going down each day. On Tuesday we had 12 and today only 10! The total for the week will be counted up after tomorrow so let's aim for ZERO garbage in our lunch kits tomorrow. Remember we don't count things that can be reused, reduced and recycled. We have been learning lots about the 3 R's we can use to take care of the Earth! Please talk to your kids about the practices you use at home to be environmentally friendly. Also, please remember to think about the day of the book donations. A letter was sent home Monday regarding this. Here are the details: On Monday, April 23, students will exchange books school wide. For this event, we ask parents to please donate one or two used books that are in good condition. We have students as old as 12 years old and we would like to gather books up to that age. Please send the books with your child to give to your classroom teacher. We will gather the books at the end of each day from April 13th to April 18th. Spelling Test is postponed until next week because of Earth Day and a short week. Welcome to Earth Week at Rosscarrock School! We are excited to be leading this initiative for the rest of the school. Clayton and Dax B did a wonderful job making our first Earth Week announcement today for the whole school to hear. We are trying to get each class to cut down on their waste! Today we had 16 pieces of disposable plastic or garbage! I am super happy about this! Many kids had ZERO!!! Thank you! The Earth is happy about that. Tomorrow we hope to have even less.
The English Program is having a Spring Concert Next Wednesday at 7pm. Tickets do not need to be purchased, just show up early to get a good seat:) We will be performing 2 songs; one dance song and one instrumental song! Spelling Words for this week are: us use very wash which why wish work Happy Friday!
Today the students did really well on their spelling tests! Great job everyone. We also finished building our catamaran boats and enjoyed seeing how much load they could carry with a single pontoon and then a double. A big theme of today was talking about Growth Mindset. We discovered that when our brains think thoughts like: I just can't do this or I can't make this better or My plan didn't work..... We can challenge those thoughts with things like: Maybe I can try or I can always improve or I can ask for help. We also did art that reflects these new positive thoughts. We turned our self-portraits into gardens that grow flowers. The flowers represent our good growing thoughts!! Next week we will be participating in Earth Week as a school! There is a class challenge which we hope to win! In order to win we need your help! Please don't pack any garbage in lunches next week because the class with the least garbage wins an Earth Day party on Thursday. Use reusable containers or cloth/mesh bags to pack food. Thanks! Today we made our own comic strips in Writer's Workshop. Each student took an event that has happened in school to write about. Some students are even using their comics to talk about Jersey Day which is Tomorrow! Also, tomorrow we have a special performance from A.E. Cross presenting their play Beauty and the Beast Presentation @ 9:00am!
Also, today we made posters for Earth Week which we are celebrating next week. We are trying to have Waste-Free Lunches! That means no disposable plastic bags and nothing wrapped. If you must, unwrap at home so we don't have to collect any waste in our class next week. The class in our school with the least garbage from their lunches next week will win. I am so happy that our class came up with these challenge and get to be environmental leaders at our school. |
