Go Dog Go!    

 We enjoyed a wonderful show at the Taubman Roanoke Children's Theater.  


We thought it was funny and silly.  Especially the yellow dog who didn't get a tree and the roller skate and chair that moved on the stage by themselves.  In the end we decided we liked it all the best and we can't think of one part we liked best.

End of year Fiesta!

We are ordering food from El Rodeo on Friday, May 11.  Please send $5 to cover the food costs by Tuesday, May 8.

Middle Schoolers used our faces for practice for the Strawberry Festival.

 

This week we are taking a field trip to the United Methodist Home to do a music program with Kim Mucha. 

We have also been preparing for the Arts Festival in May.  This is a very busy, exciting time of year.  There has been much buzz about upcoming changes next year.

We have just started a Spring unit of study on plants and insects through the works of author, Eric Carle.  We have been collecting and studying bugs on the playground.  We have just freceived a shipment of Painted Lady butterfly larva which we will observe as it goes through metamorphasis.  

I am looking forward to my first Strawberry Festival!  I have enjoyed it as a patron every year.  This year I am excited to be a part of such a wonderful Roanoke tradition.  I hope to see you all there!!

Update on Reading Across America.


The Wise Owls are well on the way from Springfield, MA to California. 
We have made it all the way to Kalamazoo, MI, a total of 750 miles!  That is with the help of all the other Boxwoods classes.  
Our class goal is 250 books this month and we have already read 180 books!!!
