What’s been happening in April?

DINOSAURS!!!  K-1  is traveling back to prehistoric times to take a look at all the different dinosaurs!  We have introduced the Triassic, Jurrasic and Cretaceous periods.  We will be looking at all the different dinosaurs in each period.  We have already been on a dino egg hunt and searched for dino clues about how they lived.  We will be singing songs, making fossils, digging for dinos, and finding out fun facts about several dinosaurs.  We will also be transforming our room into a land of Dinosaurs.

What is to come in May?

 

During may we will begin a fundraiser called the  FUNDRED DOLLAR BILL PROJECT. This fundraiser is to help raise 300 million dollars to provide the resources to de-lead the soil in New Orleans and help protect and prevent future problems. The soil in New Orleans is contaminated and with children playing in it and breathing the dust, it is causing health problems. This fundraiser is to help make a safer environment for everyone. The children will be creating their own $100 bill and then an armored truck will come to Heath Elementary and collect our money and bring it down to Washington DC to congress. When the FUNDRED has reached its goal of $300 million, congress will then hand over $300 million in real cash to go towards making a safer environment in New Orleans. This is a great opportunity for the children to learn about what is going on around them and to get involved in a cause that affects peers their own age.  If you would like to learn more or get involved on your on about this fundraiser please visit FUNDRED.ORG.

During the month of May we will also be exploring UNDER THE SEA!  We will take a look at the animals and habitat of the Oceans.
