Happy Friday!

Here are some snaps of our careful and detailed caterpillar observations!  Thank you for taking the time to send in fresh milkweed!  We've had many larvae die so this science project has also become a cooperative group project!  Groups are working together to make goals for their observations and sharing the work of cleaning the frass (feces), feeding the caterpillars and taking important measurements!  They are being so safe, responsible and respectful! Our 5 caterpillars have traveled home with me for the weekend!
You all should be so proud of the kind and loving children you are raising!  We end our day at Closing Cirlce with a pile of notes from me called Thumbs Ups!  These notes are my way of positively acknowledging students for their positive behavior, efforts in class or accomplishments!  We publicly celebrate these accomplishments with a variety of cheers, too.  Your children have already taken it upon themselves to write Classroom Compliments for one another!  They are taking the time to notice and note the kindness and efforts of others!  However, it didn't stop here.  Now, we have students designing their own positive acknowledgment notes!  We have hearts from Gigi called Fabulous Fuzzies and stars from Fiona called Star Students!  They truly are spreading kindness and positivity!  Thank You!
Lastly, this week's goal sheet came home in homework folders!  It is pink and is exactly like last week!  We again took the time to plan our week and mapped out when we will get our reading and responsibilities done!  Thank you for supporting your child with this weekly routine! 
PS-We had a guest teacher this afternoon.  Please ask your child how they were safe, responsible and respectful with Val Today!  I know they will have done their best!
