Dear Parents,
This week Felix's mom has been in to teach us about clouds. You may have wondered about the white crepe paper many students came home with yesterday. Those were cirrus clouds, those pale streaky ones that travel high in the atmosphere. We also learned about cumulus clouds, which are fluffy, and cumulo-nimbus clouds, which are definite signs of rain. We read a short story called Cloudette.

Today was our field trip to Black Creek community farm. There were four different activities over the course of the day: A nature craft with found objects. A scavenger hunt where students made bracelets with beads representing the 5 things plants need and took home little sprouting seeds on strings around their necks. A chance to weigh and collect eggs, and commune with the farm's chickens. A hike through the local woods and a chance to wish on the Wishing Tree. I didn't take out my camera as much as I should have, but I hope to get some photos back from the other groups.
The homemade pizza and salad lunch was also delicious.
Thanks again to the Ah-Maz-Ing parent volunteers who came along and just had a great time with the kids.
