Measure the School with Rulers

Friday, May 25 2012

Things have been very busy around HIS and I am sorry for not having a blog post last week.  We are still investigating insects and are still waiting for our silkworm eggs to hatch in the classroom.  We also have a live butterfly and many small insects that we caught over the past two weeks in the classroom.  Next Friday is our silkworm field trip; please remember to pack a suitable lunch to eat outside,  also sunscreen and bug repellent.  I hope to see many of you next Wednesday at the art show, as the Pre-K’s will have many pieces of work displayed.   The school will also have a special exhibit on the famous artist, Matisse.

Next Tuesday is going to be Daphne’s last day with us in the Pre-K class as she will be heading back to Singapore.  We will all miss her so much and wish her good luck at your next school.
