Thank you again for a wonderful Teacher Appreciation Week. Your kindness and thoughtfulness was touching. I wore my Detroit Tigers charm on my bracelet, enjoyed a special dinner at Roman Village, and love the class picture! I have a bunch of “sneaky Petes” in here…great secret keepers!
FIELD TRIP. MA Y 15. ( this Thursday
Here are some instructions for our trip:
Bring a sack lunch. There are picnic areas at which we can eat.
Wear comfortable walking shoes.
Prepare for weather…we will go, rain or shine!
Only Kindergarten students will ride on the bus. Chaperones can follow behind the bus or can meet us at the Village Entrance by the fountain. Bus should leave school around 9:30 and arrive at the Village about 9:45. I will know our return time when I talk with the bus driver.
Chaperones must be on the Approved Chaperone List. Please check with the office to get on that list. Again, you must be on the Approved Chaperone List to chaperone our trip. Thanks!
NO EXTRA PURCHASES-Gift Shop, Carousel, train, etc Please visit the Village on another day if you wish to make a purchase.
To help the students focus on the many wonderful sites in the Village, I am asking that each group find things that go along with the alphabet. For example, “A” might be for “automobile”. “B for…”. “C for …”
Again, the trip is only for Kindergarteners.
All permission slips and money have been turned in to me. Thank you so much for that!
WEDNESDAY is LATE START. Remember that we will take lunch count on Tuesday so check the menu if your child is planning on buying on Wednesday.
READING-Our weekly Theme is “Art All Around!”
Letters-“Y y Z z”
Words-me Where
Chunks- We have completed all of the spelling chunks! Their writing shows some great mastery of the chunks.
I will continue to meet with reading groups. I will also be working on year-end assessments. Continue reading everyday. It really helps with their Fluency, Accuracy, and Stamina. These are some of our goals.
Math-We’ll be playing a High Roller Game with a partner and start some Function Machines. I also will be giving a district Math Assessment to each student.
SCIENCE- a fun surprise!
Reading, Math, and Social Studies assessments are individually given to each student. It is wonderful that the students are so independent and capable to work by themselves while I am assessing a student! They are amazing!
I hope you had a special Mother’s Day. Some of my sisters and I played a special handbell piece in church for my mom and then the family came over for brunch. As I mentioned in December, our daughter Katie gave birth to her second daughter. Now, on April 30, our oldest daughter, Bridgit, gave birth to her third child, a son, Brennan. Our youngest daughter, Megan, lives in Ohio and her husband has some health concerns. So, I did not expect to see any of our daughters for Mother’s Day. However, I was surprised when Megan walked in, carrying a bouquet of roses and a box of chocolates from all 3 daughters and their families. That’s what it’s all about and I know all of you moms understand how precious each child is to a mom, no matter how old they get. :). Enjoy every day. Enjoy each child.
Have a good week.
Mrs. Smith
