Review
of our week:
I
can’t believe how fast this year has gone. In math we finished our graphing chapter
and will start working on 3-D Shapes. I
have also been doing some benchmarks with reading levels. We are starting some
fun writing pieces, that you will love when your child brings home their
portfolio at the end of the year. We had
a great time at the Reading Celebration.
We have the best PTA.
DIBELS:
We
will be doing our DIBELS testing Wednesday morning. I would appreciate it if you would make sure
child does their reading this week. I sent home some non-sense word pages it
would be great if you could have your child practice those. We have made so much progress this year. I
really want it to show on their scores.
We will do a final reading level assessment closer to the end of the
year. Thank you for working so hard with
your child at home. It has really paid
off.
Kite
Flight for Reading:
The
Kite Festival is Saturday at CMS (10:00-3:00).
We sent home a paper for you to keep track of your child’s minutes on. If
your child turns this in, they will receive some great prizes and the school earns money. If you can’t make it please send it with
someone who is going.
Animal
Reports:
I
will be assigning each student an animal to do an oral report on. I will send home all of the information is in
their folders next week. Please check
the paper in your child’s backpack, so you will know when your child is
scheduled to do their report and what animal. Please use the questions as a
guide, but write it in paragraph form.
If you have any questions please let me know. You are welcome to come and watch.
Library
Books:
Tomorrow
will be the last day to check out library books. They will all be due back Tuesday, April 30. If you have lost them Mrs. Stucki will send
home a paper for how much it will cost to replace them.
Volunteers
Needed:
I
know there is a lot going on in the next month or so, but we have some fun
things going and we really need some parents to come and help.
I need 1-2 parents to
come and go on the field trip with us.
It will be on Wednesday, May 8.
We are going to the library, Ladybug Nursery and Discovery Park. There won’t be
room on the bus, so you will need to
drive.
I also need either 1-2
parents to take our class around for. Field Day.
It is on Tuesday, May 22.
On the field trip your child will need to each school
lunch. If your child usually eats home
lunch, you need to pay the office for their lunch for this day.
******
On both of these days, please make sure your child has sunscreen on and has a
jacket just in case. Thanks
First
Grade Music Program:
The
First grade classes will start practicing a program that we are going to perform
in the gym on Monday, May 20 at 2:00. We would love to see all of you there. Please have your child wear their nice school
clothes.
Take
Home Books:
Friday,
May 3 will be the last day for Take Home Library Books, so they will all be due
on Monday, May 6. If your child has lost
their book, you will need to send $5 to pay for it.
