Goodbye April...

Time Flies when we have so many exciting things going on.  We cannot believe it is almost time for Ms. Musgrove (student teacher) to leave us!  Her last day is Friday May 2nd and we have really enjoyed having her for the last 2 months.  She will be missed and we wish her the best of luck!  She will be a great teacher!

Congratulations to recent Bear Brag Award winners!  The kids vote on who deserves this outstanding student, citizen of our classroom award!  I have to agree with the students - very good choices!

More EGGciting news!  As I am sure your child has told you --  4 out of 6 eggs hatched into baby chicks last week!  Students have learned all about the life cycle of a chicken and are now learning a lot about baby chicks and their needs!  They are growing very fast and we have found the perfect home for them too!  We will give them away to a wonderful person who will take really good care of them and continue to send us pictures on their growth!  Can you see the first crack below?  Then all the fun began!

Once they were all rested and dried off... we had some pretty cute chicks!  Here is the first born:

Here are all 4 chicks in their brooder!

In honor of our chick hatching we celebrated with "Chicks and Salsa" ...  I mean "Chips and Salsa"!  We made queso, salsa and danced the chicken dance with Ms. Gelles' class!   

Oh, and we also planted a Salsa Garden !!  Tomatoes, peppers, cilantro and onions!

Goodbye April!  We learned so much!
