I am planning another field trip to the Detroit Zoo on May 9. So, mark your calendars if you are able to help chaperone on this trip. We will join Mrs. Dika’s class for the field trip. Information will be forthcoming regarding the zoo. Thank you to all the chaperones who helped out with the Hands on Museum.
Families please make sure you check your child’s back-pack for reading bags, and sign and return red-folders and blue folders.
We are preparing for the NWEA test in Language Arts and Math at month end. Also, getting prepared and reviewing learning objectives for the end of the school year. Ways to help your child prepare for the upcoming NWEA and year end learning objectives are utilizing Moby Max learning site and reviewing Kindergarten learning objectives that were passed out in the beginning of the year. If you have any questions how to access Moby Max or other resources, please let me know.
