A Mystery Blogger...

We know all about Mystery Readers, but who knew there were Mystery Bloggers?  Someone left K-C a fantastic message - can you guess who it's from?  If you think you know, leave a comment with your guess...

Greetings Ms. Conway's Class! 
I just wanted to write a quick: THANK YOU!  I have noticed that you have been working very hard at getting ready for first grade.  I've noticed that everyone is taking their job very seriously!   I also wanted to let you know that I met your fish yesterday!  I hope you have lots of fun learning all about them!   Have a great day boys and girls!

Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!

We had a fantastic trip to the Beardsley Zoo yesterday!  The weather was beautiful, the animals were playful and the bus ride was exciting.  We saw otters, peacocks, monkeys and prairie dogs.  Our favorite was the sleepy tiger who woke up to say hello with a few giant roars.  Thanks to all the parents who joined us for a super day!

Mystery Readers Wanted!

With our school year winding down, we invite anyone who hasn't had a chance to surprise us as a Mystery Reader to sign up for a turn.  We absolutely LOVE waiting to see who walks in the door each Friday afternoon to share a story with us.  We are even signing up ourselves to read books we've written during Writers' Workshop.  We're such great authors!  Email Ms. Conway if you'd like to come in.  Shhhh - don't forget - it's a secret...

Richie was a Mystery Reader and read the ABC book he wrote - we loved it!

Nature is Calling

We began our new science unit by taking a nature walk around Glenville School.  We noticed things like grass, trees, birds and flowers.  We recorded our findings and then discussed whether the things we saw were living or nonliving.  In the upcoming weeks will be studying bean plants and goldfish - all live in our classroom!  Stay tuned for our observations...

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the K-C moms!  We hope you enjoyed the gifts we made for you.  We especially liked decorating and filling the "Breakfast in Bed" bags - were they as fun to open as they were to make?

Three Words...

I have just three words to say about Lilly's new puppy, Axel,

who popped in for a visit one day after school. 

Cutest - Thing - Ever!

Tired Teachers!

On Saturday, a team of Glenville teachers woke up early, put on their work clothes and gathered up their tools.  They worked for an entire day at a Stamford Habitat for Humanity worksite.  They installed insulation, wrapped pipes with foam and even hammered on the roof!  It was VERY hard work but it felt REALLY good to help a family that needed help.
