| We had a fun time celebrating during our Easter party on Friday. The students each made a woven Easter basket (it's an old-fashioned craft, I know, but the kids still love it and it's a great fine motor workout!) Thank you everyone for sending in an extra treat for our visitor. She had a great time and was surprised and pleased that there was a basket for her too. |
 |
| The students wrote and presented Cinquain poems about the object in space they had researched. The format is a little unusual compared to the poems we usually read but the students did a great job with them. |

| About half of our Flat Stanleys have made it back to DeSales. If you are talking to the recipient of your Stanley please remind him/her to send it back soon so your child can share in the fun. |
 |
| We had some excitement right outside our window on Thursday. A tall tree was being trimmed. We all lined up at the window to see some big branches coming down. |
 |
| The room is ready and waiting for our return on Tuesday, April 22nd. We will use the regular reading series with spelling and vocabulary that week. |
 |
| We sent another letter to our pen pals in Maine this week. The students are enjoying corresponding, especially when we receive it! |
 |
| I spent the first day of vacation with my grandson at the Buffalo Science Museum. If you haven't been there in awhile, it has changed a lot and offers many hands on activities for all ages. It might be a fun thing to check out over vacation. Whatever you do next week I hope you enjoy it with family and friends. God Bless and Happy Easter! |
