Hello Parents,

This Thursday, June 9th we will be going on our field trip to the Detroit Zoo. Please make sure that your child is dressed comfortably and has a bagged lunch and drink to bring on the trip. Please make sure that all food and water bottles can be thrown away afterward since we will not be able to store anything with us or return to the bus. We recommend that you apply sunblock, and have them wear a hat in case it is too warm outside.

Please make sure students and chaperons  are at school on time. Students will be at school at there usual time

Chaperons are to be in classroom by 9:00 AM.

We look forward to our trip this Thursday!

Thank you,

Mrs. Baydoun

Thank you for your cooperation with our “How To” writing project! Your child will be bringing home their rough draft, along with a white piece of construction paper, on which they can complete their writing. This is due back to school on Friday, February 19th. Below is an example of what a (almost) completed project might look like. Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Dear Parents,
For the last 2 weeks we have been working on “how to” writing and have written several pieces explaining “how to” do something. To wrap up our informational writing unit, your child will do a final writing piece, with detailed instructions and illustrations, on how to do something. We have provided a list of topic suggestions (see below) of what your son/daughter might be an expert at. Each student will choose ONE of the ideas listed and, with your help at home, will create a step-by-step writing project. We ask that you take some time over this long weekend and talk to your child about what they feel they are best at out of the topics below. They need to be able to explain, in detail, how to perform their chosen task. We will start the writing plan in class on Tuesday, after the break. They will bring this rough draft home to copy onto construction paper (we will send the paper home next week). As always, please contact us with any questions.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Topic ideas:
– how to brush your teeth
– how to make a sandwich
– how to tie your shoes
– how to blow a bubble
– how to wash your hands
– how to make a paper heart
