Friday was so exciting in our classrooms as we completed the building and planting of our tower garden. Ask your child what he/she planted! Also, ask your child to take you to his/her SeeSaw site to view his/her postings about our garden!
On Friday we had the opportunity to zoom with the creator of "6 minutes" which is a podcast we have been enjoying in class. You can find this podcast and many others at https://gzmshows.com/ Ask your child about it!
Next week on Tuesday the 16th we will have an opportunity to shop at the Book Fair. If you do not feel comfortable sending your child with money, the fair will be open on the 17th and 18th as well.
Dress Warm for Cold Temperatures!
Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for these cold days. Coats, hats, and gloves are essential for students to safely be outside for any period of time, whether it is walking to school, playing outside during recess, waiting at the bus stop, or just going to and from the car at arrival and dismissal.
Parents: Did you know that your child qualifies for a free Baldwin Library card? Please use this link to get your child his/her own card. This will allow us to connect all students to a vast library of ebooks and audio books.
