I can’t believe where we are in the school year! Someone please slow down the clock!

Thank you for the help with studying the Spelling Words.  Today I had them work with their READ TO SOMEONE Partner with SPELLING.  They got to play “teacher” and give the words to their partner.  Then they reversed the role of “teacher” and “student.”  Any word that they missed I had them write it 3 times on the back.  ( 3 times writing a word is the magic number in research of trying to learn or reinforce something.  They LOVE being able to spell those big words favorite and because.  They are so cute. Thanks for helping them be so successful.

Tomorrow, Thursday we will put the finishing touches on our Father’s Day things.  They are very excited that DAD will be in their room!!

FRIDAY is ‘DONUTS with DAD.”  Thank you dads for giving of your time for these moments together. Your child will always remember that YOU were there.  🙂   As many of you know, my Dad was the first President of Henry Ford Community College and my Mom taught English at Dearborn High School.  I am the oldest of 5 daughters and with all of my Father’s college commitments and my Mom’s English papers to correct, they never missed an event (band concerts, dance recitals, flute, clarinet recitals) and I remember that they were always there.  My sisters and I always looked for them in the audience.  I know how important it is for parents to “be there.”  Believe me, kids remember these things.  I speak for them…”Thanks Dad.”

Next week…

Thursday will be a class lunch picnic.  You are invited to bring your lunch and enjoy lunch with your Kindergartner. We’ll eat outside on my porch and lawn,  Bring a blanket or towel and your lunch.  If you’d like to share some cookies or watermelon slices or grapes, or, or, or, that would be lovely.  It is supposed to be quite warm so ice cream might melt too quickly.  We’ll meet from 11:15-12:15.

FRIDAY will be half day for students. 11:45 dismissal.
