Happy Thursday:

*Tonight is Math Night at Oakman School from 5:00-6:00 in the cafeteria.  It is free to attend, and there will be fun math game stations for families to play.  A parent must stay with their child for the duration of the event.  If you find a game your family enjoys, there is the opportunity to purchase that game to take home at the end of the event.  I hope to see you there 🙂

Today we had a great day at school.  We learned about natural, human, and capital resources during social studies and Daily 5, and planted our vegetable seeds during science.  We are also working on estimating and finding the exact measurement of items for math.

I am still in need of chaperones for the field trips.  Right now I have one parent chaperone for this Wednesday and ZERO chaperones for Greenfield Village next week.  If you are able to attend please let me know as soon as possible.  Thank you very much.

I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe spring break.  Enjoy the time with your families and I look forward to seeing you on Monday, April 9, 2018.

Homework over the break:

1. Complete the math sheet I sent home for review.  1st graders- telling time.  2nd graders- find the missing addend.
2. Do your science MYON project I sent you on either plants (2nd grade) or animals and plants (1st grade).  I don’t expect you to do all of it but I do expect you to do around 1/2 of it.  The project is due at the end of April so don’t wait until the last minute.

Happy Tuesday 😀

Congratulations to all those who received recognition at the Celebration assembly today. Everyone has been working so hard this year and it’s wonderful to see that hard work and effort celebrated.

*Please remember to sign the field trip forms that came home today. We have two exciting field trips coming up next month.

I have one parent committed to the field trip to Greenfield village but am in need of more chaperones for both field trips. If you are able to come as a chaperone please make a note on your child’s permission slip. Thank you for your help in making field trips a success.

Thank you to all of the parents who came to parent teacher conferences.  If you had your child’s report card sent home in the yellow envelope, please sign the front of the envelope and return the envelope tomorrow.  You may keep the report card at home, I just ask that you return the signed envelope so that I know a parent saw the child’s report card.

Homework this evening:

1. Practice for the math-a-thon tomorrow.  If you go to dearbornschools.org, click on student resources and then select I-LEARN at the top of the webpage.  Students sign in with their 2-0-0 number and their password, then select Oakman Math-a-thon at the top.  They may practice the addition and subtraction practice test as many times as they want.  This is set up the same way as the math-a-thon tomorrow.
2. Read for 20 minutes
3. Practice your spelling words for the spelling test tomorrow.
