Review
of our week:
Congratulations
to those who participated in the Science Fair. There were some really neat
experiments. In math we are finishing up place value. We are doing a lot more with math. The first of the year we were moving slower,
trying to get used to this new program.
Now we need to do more lessons, so we can get all of the concepts
covered.
Homework:
I
had several students who did not have
very much money to spend at our store, because they have not been doing their
homework or reading their take home book.
I really need you to keep working with your child.
Book
Order:
I will be sending home 2 more book orders. This would be a great way to get your child
some books to read over the summer. I will
be sending one home today. If you would
like to order books they are due back on Thursday. You can also order online. If you have any questions about the books or
would like some suggestions, just let me know.
Flat
Stanley:
I
have attached a letter explaining what we are doing with Flat Stanley, please
make sure you read it and get me your address as soon as possible. Please pick
somebody who will take him and do some fun things with him. I thought it would be fun to send him before
Easter. This is one of the most fun
activities we do. We will be making Flat Stanley in Art on Wednesday, so I will
need the address by then. You can even
email the address.
Portfolios:
I
would have started getting the portfolios put together. If you have not already sent your child’s
binder and sheet protectors, please do so as soon as possible. I have taken pictures throughout the
year. If you would like me to print them
and put them in their portfolio, please send a $5 Walmart gift card. If you would just like a CD with the pictures
on it you can send $3.
Field
Trips:
We
are going on a couple of Field Trips in the next couple of weeks. We are going to see the play Pirates of
Penzance on Wednesday, April 9th.
We are also going to SUU’s Bard’s Birthday Bash on Friday, April
25. I am sending home a
permission/notification slip. I need you
to sign it and send it back by Friday.
We are also asking for a $1 donation to pay for the tickets. You can just send it with the permission
slip.
Party:
We
have had another 25 days of 100% attendance.
The class voted and decided they wanted to have a pajama, treat and
movie party. We will be having it on Thursday. Your child can wear their pajamas and bring a
treat to share with the class if they would like to.
Thanks:
I
just wanted to tell all of you thanks for everything you have done this
year. I appreciate all of your help and
support. It makes my job so much easier
with your help.
FYI’s:
* If you are planning on moving and will not be in
our school next year, will you please let me know? They would like to know, before making class
lists for next year.
*
There are several new things on the calendar.
I will let you know more about them as they get closer.
