We Earned a Party

Hi Families,

Your kiddos have done it again! They have earned a compliment party: ). We will have our party Tuesday with board games or electronics. There are a couple kids who want to bring in toys instead. Everyone has the understanding that we share or let people see what we brought, but it is our toy/game/electronic to use or be responsible for.  They have also requested pajamas this day. We discussed appropriate dress and that it will be hot.  They do NOT have to dress in pj's! This is choice only.

Your kiddos were so polite on the field trip! I could take them anywhere.  Thank you to everyone who volunteered to chaperone.  Thank you very much to Mrs. Stark and Mrs. Sloan for coming along on the bus!

Have a great long weekend!

Summer Birthdays

I can't believe we are already talking about this! If your child has a summer birthday, we would like to celebrate their day. There are five kiddos that we need to schedule birthdays for. Please plan a day with me soon. The Fridays in June are booking fast. We may need to look at an earlier day in one  of the weeks.

Happy Spring!!

Although the weather isn't always cooperative, there was a new smell this morning! Fresh, clean and full of spring promises. I cannot tell you how much I love your kids! They make each day amazing and wow! are they smart! Yesterday in math, they were full of amazing ideas on how to figure out patterns and what color would land on what number later on. Great thinking!

In regards to the math homework this month: We took some time off. Between activities, reading being done (or not done) at night, working hard in class and life in general, we took a break. Did your child continue to learn math and grow mathematically? Yes! We took our unit 7 assessment, we did learned and strategized every day how to solve problems. We practiced math facts. Look for the month of May math work on Monday: ).  

We have some activities coming up the remaining weeks!
