We celebrated “America” last week, as the entire FMS campus was transformed to represent different regions of the United States. P1’s room represented the Midwest. With some careful planning (thanks Amalia) and plenty of creativity (thanks Sophia), we had milking cows in the barn, ice fishing, cheese sampling, crawling through a prairie dog habitat, and various crafts.
Thank you to all of our parent volunteers for helping us to create, setup, and run this special event. We also appreciate our four middle school students, Tristan, Kassie, Sofia and Sarah, for volunteering in our classroom and for wearing such great costumes.
We were also visited by “Project Wild”, filling the multipurpose room with a variety of animals rescued from former pet owners.
The assembly started off with “Larry” the legless lizard. He is known as the glass lizard because he is very delicate.
Unlike a snake, a legless lizard hears with ears and can shut his eyes using his eyelids. We saw and heard a 4 weeks old baby goat and all it wanted was its bottle of milk. She really sounded like a baby crying for its bottle!
Our Primary Music Performance will take place next week, Tuesday, 11/6 at 9:00am in the multi-purpose room. Please have your child wear dark, solid colored pants and their blue FMS shirt. Pants can be jeans. We look forward to sharing this performance with you.
We are hosting our first Parent/Child Night on Thursday, 11/15 starting at 4:15-5:00 if your last name begins with A-M, and at 5:00-5:45 if your last name begins with N-Z. Come experience your child sharing the jobs that they have learned in the classroom. You can see first-hand the materials they use and get a deeper sense of their daily activities inside the classroom.
