Thank you Moms for attending our “Moments With Mom!”  These are the days and things that kids remember.  thank you for helping to make wonderful memories for them.

This week…

READING-We will begin our last reading unit`Unit 10  I KNOW A LOT!  Our theme is “Show What You Know.”

WRITING-Narrative   I will be giving them sentence stems (sentence starters) and they will write to that stem.  This week’s stem is “I can do many things, but I really wish I knew how to…”   As I do every week, Monday I will introduce and write a response to model for them.  Tuesday, we will write sentences together.  On Wednesday, they will do their own rough draft.  Thursday I revise and edit with them (Field Trip day) and Friday we publish and share our writing.

SPELLING-Since last Friday was a bit busy !!!, I did not give them the Spelling Test but did give them each 100% for that day’s grade.  🙂   This week we are working with the ip chunk.  Here you go…

rip  sip  nip  hip  lip  drip  ship  skip  slip  slip  = 10 words

MATH-Geometry and Number stories

SOCIAL STUDIES-Michigan Week

Also this week…

Wednesday-LATE START

Thursday– Field Trip to Greenfield Village  All Kindergarten students will ride the bus.  Parents may carpool or meet us there.  Bus will not leave until about 9:30.  Reminder that this trip is for Kindergarten students only. 

Wear comfortable walking shoes.

Bring a sack lunch

Sunscreen

If you have a membership, please bring your membership card and ID with you.  Upon arrival at the Village, I will divide the group into those with memberships and those who need tickets.  Please do NOT take your child from the group until I have dismissed the students to parents.   I will decide on a meeting spot for gathering after our visit.

I will be giving the students a Scavenger Hunt to guide you with your visit.

All Kindergarten students will ride the bus back to school.  We should be returning to school about 2:30.

The students are very excited for the trip and so am I.  Since most of them do not ride a bus to school, the bus ride is often a highlight of the trip.   I think we may even have beautiful weather too.  🙂

Friday-  Field Day (sponsored by our fantastic PTA!)  This will be a morning of outside games and races.  This is an annual event and always a favorite among the students.  Thank you PTA for making this happen.  I understand that the organizers could use some extra hands that morning.  If you are available, please consider coming up to school and lending a hand.  We will be outside from 9:10-11:00.  The events are Flag Football, Basketball, Soccer. Spoon relay Race, Hula Hoops/Jump ropes, Sidewalk Chalk, Pizza Box Race, and a snack.  If you can lend a helping hand, please return the Volunteer Form coming home today with your child or send me an email.

“Don’t miss out on something that could be great just because

it could also be difficult.”  

Have a good week.
