    We are starting off our amazing weather month with a study of clouds!  We will be working on raingauges this week that will be coming home so each child can keep track of
    how much precipitation we get.  We will be recording weather reports to make a weather forecasting video (if you would like to volunteer to put this together that would be
    fantastic!) Please show your child some weather forecasts so they get the idea.  As the month progresses we will be studying precipitation, storms and rainbows. 
  • Greenbeans:  Will be beginning their Music month on Tuesday with the special guest appearance of Meghan's Fiance (a legitimate recording artist) to kick things off.  They will be making guitars, learning dance steps, studying musical terminology and focusing on Bluegrass, Afrobeat, and Jazz this month.
