Dear Parents,
I was set to send home a detailed list of end-of-the-year activities today, however with the downpour, I'll wait until tomorrow.(Who wants to read a soaking wet paper?)
Regarding the park on Friday, the weather forecast is for rain in the afternoon. We will attempt to go to the park in the morning. If need be, we will bring the food back here and eat.
Please note: Free dress day has been changed to next Tuesday May 24th. It is NOT this Friday the 20th.
If anyone is available to help after field day, I'll be moving tables, chairs and shelves out into the hall. I will order pizza for helpers!

Dear Parents,
Curriculum
Bartholemew Bones (a 6 ft skeleton) was the center of attention this past week as we began our study of the skeletal system. Several of the students took on the the challenge to learn the major bones so they can lead "Simon says". (Our version will be Bartholemew says... and we will name the bones).
In addition to learning the names of the bones, we began an experiment testing the effect on bones when immersed in different liquids. We have 3 chicken bones, each in a different cup. One cup is filled with milk, one with water and one with vinegar. We are observing and charting changes. Next week will learn what makes up bone.
In writing we are ready to begin our study of poetry. This will include the formats for acrostic, haiku, cinquain and diamante. We will also be memorizing some poetry; oh what fun!
Upcoming Field trip
This is a friendly reminder that all the Montessori elementary classes will be going to the zoo on Thursday April 14th. Please make sure your child has a sack lunch as well as comfortable walking shoes. Many thanks to those of you who volunteered to chaperone. It promises to be an educational trip!

Dear Parents,
Hopefully you are enjoying some time with your young ones this week. If the wind calms down, maybe there will be kite flying?!?
Curriculum Update
When we return from spring break, we will begin our study of human anatomy, beginning with the muscular and skeletal systems. We will have a special visitor, Bartholemew Bones, to help us learn the skeletal system. Bartholemew is a life-size skeleton that belongs to a friend of mine. He has visited Bromley before, and the children have been intrigued.
In preparation for our trip to the zoo is April 14th, we will review classification of vertebrates (fish, amphibian, reptiles, birds and mammals) . Beginning the third week in April, we will begin our study of invertebrate animals.
In Geography we continue to learn about biomes. The week of April 4th we will focus on prairies.
Specials Schedule for the week of April 4th
Monday- library
Tuesday-art
Wednesday-music
Thursday-P.E.
