We're crossing our fingers that the weather holds out next week and gives us a break from all this rain. I hope you enjoy the last vacation week of the 2023-24 school year!

This week's Poetry Week at our school was an absolute blast! Our hallways were magically transformed into poetic havens, thanks to the wonderful teachers who adorned them with verses for our delightful Poetry Walks. Each morning, we were greeted with the enthusiastic readings of poems by our talented student readers during announcements, setting the perfect tone for days brimming with creativity and expression. In classrooms, students dove into various poetic forms like Acrostic, Haiku, and Diamonde poems, sparking imaginations and fostering appreciation for the beauty of language. And let's not forget the colorful chalk poems that adorned our playground during recess, spreading joy and appreciation throughout the day. It was a celebration of poetry that filled our hearts with excitement and appreciation for the power of words and community!

Happy Spring!

We just finished our nutrition unit with a culminating game of "HANGRY". Students did a wonderful job identifying and sorting foods into their various food groups. The weather is slowly starting to break and we are excited to take our students outside for the start of our annual Thacher Olympics. 40 yard dash, softball throw, standing long jump, ¼ mile run, 1 minute sit up challenge. Our students are giving it their all! Enjoy your Spring Break and please keep a close on the Thacher calendar as ALOT will be happening once we return from April vacation.

HOMEWORK: Whenever possible, while eating together, please ask your kiddos which foods on their plate belong to which food groups. Thank you!
