Parents and Students,

 This month we will be learning about life cycles in science.  We will 
incubate and hatch chicks and butterflies!  The kids just love doing this and 
it is so exciting.  Please ask your child about it at home.


Don't forget to have your child complete one of 
the activities to the left and email it to me for a prize!


  We have begun Bucketfilling in our classroom.  
There is a wonderful book titled Have You Filled A Bucket Today by Carol 
McCloud and Illustrated by David Messing.  The book tells children about an 
invisible bucket that every person carries around with them all day, every 
day.The purpose of your bucket is to hold your good thoughts and feelings 
about yourself.  You feel good when your bucket is full and sad when it is 
empty.  The children learn that you can fill a bucket when you show love to 
someone, do something kind, or even when you smile. By doing these nice 
things for others, you are also filling your own bucket because you feel good 
when you help others feel good.  The book also talks about Bucket Dippers who 
make others feel bad.  We don't want to be Bucket Dippers!  
    If you are looking for a great book to use at home or in the classroom, I 
can't say enough good things about this one!


 

 
We have begun our Flat Stanley Project '09!  Our Flat Stanley's have gone out 
all over the world and we are anxiously awaiting the returns! Mine has 
already come back from his Disney Cruise to the Bahamas over Spring Break.  
Flat Stanley had a wonderful time meeting all of the Disney characters but 
his favorite was Captain Jack Sparrow.  He got to swim with stingrays, go 
down the Mickey water slide, and do all sorts of cool things on the ship.
 We recieved a big surprise from a school in North Carolina!  A first grader 
named Mackenzie sent us her Flat Stanley.  We are showing him around our 
school and writing letters to him.  Thanks Mackenzie!  We are having a great 
time with our guest!

 A little about Mrs. Dennis:
I am excited to be earning my Gifted and Talented license this year from 
Ball State University.  I have a Master's degree in Mild/Moderate 
Disabilities so these classes will help me to see the other end of the 
learning spectrum.  I earned my National Board Certification in Early/Middle 
Literacy:Reading and Language Arts in November 2007. WOOHOO!
