May 13 - May 17, 2019

 

We had an amazing week! Mission Boards arrived on time this morning and they look great! Remember, if your child elects to do the Extra Credit piece to share with our families at Open House, they will be due on the morning of Open House, Thursday, May 16. I can hardly wait to see the projects the children have created!

 

Mrs. Yoho gave a wonderful presentation on print making this week! The children always learn so much about art appreciation from our art docent! This was our last art docent project of the year and it was amazing!

 

Unless your child was absent during testing last week, or they need more time to finish, we will not have any CAASPP testing this week! We will resume with the Math test on Friday, May 24. If your child did not finish their ELA testing, they will go to the computer lab first thing on Monday morning to finish their test.

 

We will have spelling 7.2 this week. You will find the words and activities on Spelling City. Students will take the spelling test on Thursday, May 16 in class.

 

Due to the upcoming CAASPP test in math on May 24, I highly recommend the students review math concepts on Think Central/Go Math under “My Library”, click on “the lady in the red hat”, and find skill sets to practice. Students can review prior skills, as well as find new concepts we have not yet covered including measurement, area and perimeter! Class Hero is also available to reinforce Geometry.

 

Red Reading Folders are due every Friday. Students should remember to read and record their daily entries in their red reading folder and have them signed by a parent. We had several students forget their red folders this week, so they will need to return the red reading folder on Monday. Please ask your child if this includes them.

 

Students will also need to return their Field Trip permission slip to Coloma, and their End-of-the-Year Fun Day Contract on Monday if they haven’t turned it in already.

 

We have another very full week planned! Grammy Kay Bivens is scheduled to read in our classroom on Wednesday after lunch, and our class will visit the Book Fair at 1:30-2:00 on Wednesday as well! Please see the flyer that was sent home in the Thursday Folder for more information about the Book Fair.

 

Thursday night is Open House! Our classroom will be open from 6:00-7:00 p.m. I look forward to seeing all of our families! The children have so many wonderful things to share with you!

 

Author, Ryan Winch will visit our school! We are scheduled to meet with him on Friday! It’s going to be great!
