Proud Performers

The scripts have been written, the parts are assigned, and now the young actors and actresses of Mosaic are in full practice mode to prepare for their "Plant Performance" on June 5th at 9:00. If you are unable to make that performance datewe will have a dress rehearsal on Wednesday morning at 10:15 and families are welcome to join us for that as well. We will be sending home the students with "homework" to gather small props and easy to wear costumes this week. The energy is high and the students are so excited for this opportunity and are being very  collaborative and supportive of each other. It is such a great way to end the school year!


The budding botanists worked hard to combine their understanding of plants and heredity, nonfiction text features, and research skills to carry out a performance task where they were asked to "create" a new breed of plant life. We were blown away at their creativity and attention to detail and wanted to share some of the finished products with you. Come and see the rest on display in the Mosaic hallway when you get a chance.



This week we will begin our last unit in mathematics. During this unit we will combine our math skills with the engineer design process to research, plan and build model bridges. We have asked for materials from home and will continue to collect them until next week. Please keep us in mind if you are doing some spring cleaning!

We will be ending the year with a Summer Themed "Craftermorning" on Monday, June 15th. We are looking for volunteers to run small workshops from 8-10 students. Some of these could include: scavenger hunts, water balloon toss, journal making, summer postcards, etc. A sign up sheet will be coming home in this week's Friday folder. Please come and join us or send in food to make our last full day of school a memorable and creative day.
