Spring weather is finally here! Fingers crossed that it's here to stay! The kids are having a blast playing outside. I haven't been been updating on the blog as regularly since I have been using Twitter. I "tweet" a few times a week. It is really easy to create a twitter account. I would love to have more parent followers! I can be found at @MissCalcott.

I am super excited for Friday because it is the music festival! This is one of my absolute favorite days of the year! Mrs. Moen and the students work so incredibly hard to create a great show for us. I am so lucky to get a sneak peek of the show when the students rehearse tomorrow morning! Can't wait! I hope to see many of you at the show tomorrow night!

While doing a social studies lesson about the different cultures that live in the United States, Ellis Island was mentioned. The students got very interested and asked to learn more. We are going to do a small unit about Ellis Island. I am proud of the students for taking interest in a historical topic, and asking to learn more about it! That is music to a teacher's ears!

Book Orders
Just a little reminder that Scholastic Book Orders are due on Thursday, April 17th. I will try to send one more order at the beginning of May so that students can stock up on some summer reading books.

Remember to follow me on Twitter! It is such a great way to stay connected!
