**Mystery Readers**

We LOVE when Mystery Readers come in to read to us!  Recently we had two lovely mothers join us for books and treats.  Thank you for reading to us, Mrs. Higgins and Ms. Chen!

Our Play

I know you are just as proud as I am of our AMAZING, MAGNIFICENT, ENERGETIC actresses.  All of their hard work over the last month paid off with an incredible performance!  Bravo, Girls!!!  As much as we LOVED practicing for our play, we are excited to get back to our regularly scheduled program :)

Here are a few pictures I snapped of the girls in costume:

The Cast of Aesop's Fables

The Meeting of the Mice

The Wolves and the Sheep

The Crabs and the Fox

The Ox and the Frogs

Book Fair

Yay!  We love books!  The girls were SO excited to shop for books this week.  Thank you for supporting their love of reading ;)

Field Trip to the Science Center

We had a GREAT time at the Science Center.  From the I-Max to the Kids' Room and all the different exhibits, it was a fun time to spend with our classmates and the many parents that chaperoned.  Thank you for helping make the day run smoothly!

Below are pictures I snapped during the day, but please visit this link to see many great photos from Mr. Yu.  They are AMAZING:  https://picasaweb.google.com/103643028004431297907/2014_04_23_7B?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCM34hIWHhPCvsAE&feat=directlink

Symbolic Migration

Back in the fall we sent paper Monarchs to a school in Mexico in hopes of receiving a package of butterflies in the spring once the Monarch started its migration back north.  Well, last week we received our butterflies.  We were so excited to look through the different ones that came.  They were from all over the United States, and even a few from Maryland.  We can't wait to see if any real Monarchs choose our butterfly garden as a stop on their migration route!

March Reading Madness

We did it!!  

We won March Reading Madness 

for the 7th Age!  Way to go, 7-B!!
