Just a reminder that tomorrow – the last day of school – is a half-day.  Students will be dismissed at 11:45 a.m.  We plan to have ice cream sundaes and play on the playground at 11:00.

The students brought home class work this week.  I can’t wait for you to read their writing journals.  They have come a long way.

Their white 3-ring binder was also sent home.  Many Dearborn schools keep a data binder.  Hold onto it over the summer.  Your child’s Kindergarten teacher at their homeschool may ask for it.

Report cards are coming home today.

Please be aware of any cafeteria fines or library fines.

Next year’s school calendar can be found on the Dearborn Public Schools website.  The first day of school will be Tuesday, September 6th (half-day).  Be aware many of the Dearborn Kindergartens do a “soft start” like we did at Lindbergh this school year (usually half-days the first week of school).

Have a safe and relaxing summer and please email me if you have any questions.

Mrs. Ruselink

Unless someone would like to bring carmel syrup for our sundaes  – we are all set on supplies.

Thank you!

Dear Parents,

Our Lindbergh Student Lighthouse Team is organizing a donation drive for Children’s Hospital.  At the Children’s Hospital of Michigan, toys & games are also good medicine. Play is a child’s language. It allows children to express how they are feeling, escape from daily stresses, and socialize with others who may be experiencing similar situations. Developmentally appropriate toys and games are essential to providing children with opportunities for play in the hospital. They serve an important therapeutic function by bringing a sense of joy and normalcy into the life of a sick child.

Reminders:

• SAFETY is the most important consideration when selecting toys.
• NO USED ITEMS PLEASE. Children’s Hospital only accepts NEW toys, games, books, and stuffed animals.
• Violent games and books, toy guns, swords and projectile toys are not accepted. • Please refrain from donating candy, food, or religious materials.
• Please avoid dollar store items because of recent safety recalls.
• Please DO NOT wrap gifts.
• Arts & craft materials must have the non-toxic seal (AP, CP, health label NonToxic).
• Because some children are sensitive to natural rubber latex, please: Buy only specific name brands whenever possible.
• Do not donate items known to contain natural rubber latex including, but not limited to, rubber balloons, Koosh balls, rubber stamps, rubber balls, rubber erasers, etc.
• Only mylar balloons and vinyl items are permitted.
• Monetary donations should be directed to the Child Life Toy Fund for the purchase of toys

Your child in Young 5 /Kindergarten  is asked to donate:

INFANT-TODDLER (newborn to 2 years)

• Fisher Price Aquarium
• Playschool Busy Pop Ups
• Fisher Price Fun Links Gym
• Lights & Sounds Interactive toys
• Mobiles (no cloth pieces)
• Infant Mirrors
• Push & Pull Toys
• Leapfrog Dreamscapes Soother
• Play Telephones
• Fisher Price Peek-a-Boo Blocks
• Rattles & Squeeze Toys
• Activity Centers
• Crib Gyms
• Musical Stackers & Toy Sorters

We ask that all donations are brought in by Wednesday, June 8^th.  There will be a donation box in front of the auditorium where all donations may be placed.  Please help us put a smile on a sick child’s face.

Leader in Me Toy Drive

A letter came home this week about our toy drive for Children’s Hospital.  There is a collection box in front of the auditorium.

What We Did This Week

Our new sight word this week was, “it”

We worked in our poem books

We wrote in our journals

We rotated through Daily 5

Some students have begun to bring home reading bags.  Some students are working with me in small groups to better improve their letter sounds and writing skills.  Let me know if you have any questions.

In math we introduced subtraction with our ten frames.

We are working on small projects for our Leadership Day in June.

We planted lima bean seeds and talking about the parts of a plant/flower.

We have some visitors in the building tomorrow.  The leadership team has asked the students to wear their blue Leadership Shirts tomorrow.

Thanks!
