This week we learned about protecting the Earth and recycling. I hear that some parents are now required to shorten their showers in order to not waste water. 🙂 I love when the kids listen to me and take that info. home!
We are done with sight words and now are just reviewing and reviewing.
In math, we are working on position words, 2D and 3D shapes and practicing addition and subtraction with word problems.
Midterms came home today. We are still working on handwriting and writing letters the correct way. Most kids got a ^ because it’s still something we continue to work on. You do not need to return midterms.
I mentioned our field trip earlier in an email. If you would like to go to the arboretum with us and work with a small group of kids on May 15th, please let me know by April 30th. If I have too many parents, I’ll have to draw names. I will send permission slips out in the next week or so.
It was good to see everyone at Fine Arts night. Lots of kids in the class won items and they were very excited to hear it today! Brody and Brooklyn were the pizza lunch winners and Charlotte and Alex were the Chuck E Cheese winners. (By the way, I had no part in the drawings! 🙂 Lots of the kids won other items as well and they will get those as those teachers make arrangements.
Just a heads up that I will be gone a couple of days next week. Tuesday is my prep day because I am the Science trainer for Kindergarten teachers for the district. On Friday, I’m taking a personal day to get ready for Hannah’s graduation party. Ms. Zeller will be here to sub for me, but please don’t tell the kids. She wants to surprise them. I know they’ll be happy to see her.
Next week reminders:
Lapathon is now on Monday. Please be sure they wear appropriate clothes to be outside and wear tennis shoes! They can bring a water bottle with their name on it as well.
Thursday is our Flower Day. Please bring in an annual and put it on the table with our name in the front hallway. Thanks to Kelli Martin and Kim Bukaty for volunteering to help us plant that day!
Friday is the spirit day, inside/out day.
I’m off to buy flowers to make prom corsages and a boutinierre. Hannah has prom tomorrow night. 🙂
Have a great weekend!
