Hello Families!

I hope you all had as much fun as we did this week! Check out the pictures from our week!

Monday is Letter Hh Day!!! Please remember, your child is asked to wear a hat to school on Monday! 🙂 They are welcome to wear a hat they have or create a silly hat! The choice is theirs 🙂

We have been learning about composing and decomposing teen numbers. Here we made a large number bond as we represented the teen number as one group of ten and some extra ones.

ABC Countdown for Y5S

*Updated*

This year, Young 5s will celebrate another great year of learning by counting down the last 20 days of the school year with 26 special activities!

Each day describes an activity that we will be doing in class.  Please read the list so you are aware if your child should bring something from home that day.

Hello Families!

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the devoted moms, grandmas, sisters, aunts…. You all make such an impact in the lives of your children! Thank you for all you do! Sometimes, it may feel like all we do for our children goes unnoticed, but it really does not! Your children feel your love and your support everyday! Your love and encouragement is what makes them the happy little people I see every morning at school! Being a mom is a blessing that cannot be described with words. My mom and my grandmas have made me into the woman I am today. They are a continual support and offer wisdom, love, and guidance that I would never take for granted. When I had my son, Ryan 17 years ago, I looked at the little baby in  my arms and felt a surge of love like nothing I have ever experienced. Watching him grow up in to the man he is now is bitter-sweet but full of excitement and joy as I watch what God is doing in his life. I know you all feel that same excitement as you watch your children develop and grow. As you enjoy each milestone of development I wish all of you an unspeakable joy! And…one more thing, when my students accidentally call me mama….it warms my heart to know they would consider me as special as they consider you!

Thanks moms!!!

Thank you for you all you do!

Mrs. Mehrhof

Happy Mother’s Day!

Hello Families!

Tomorrow, Wednesday, is ride a bike or walk to school day! We are learning about bike safety. One of the safety tips we learned is to wear a helmet when riding a bike or scooter. If your child does not have a helmet, I encourage you to purchase one.

Also, if your child would like to purchase an Oakman Yearbook, please see Ms. Amged in the office. They are $15.00. These are a great keepsake!

Today….we had 7 more butterflies emerge from their chrysalis! We are so excited….each one has been named by your children!

11. I sent home the permission slip for our next field trip on Wednesday, May 1st! Please sign and return this by Friday! I will have a sign up through email and remind as to what to bring for the family potluck picnic at the park that day.

Wait!!! One more thing…Happy Earth Day! Today we talked a lot about ways we can care for our planet! We talked about recycling cans, paper, glass, and plastic. This week’s assignment is to take a picture of one thing you are recycling this week and email it to me. We will make a collection. I would love to see each child participate with this!

Thanks for all you do!
