Thank you again for a wonderful Teacher Appreciation Week. \u00a0Your kindness and thoughtfulness was touching. \u00a0I wore my Detroit Tigers charm on my bracelet, enjoyed a special dinner at Roman Village, and love the class picture! \u00a0I have a bunch of \u00a0“sneaky Petes” in here…great secret keepers!<\/p>\n
FIELD TRIP. \u00a0MA Y 15. ( this Thursday<\/p>\n
Here are some instructions for our trip:<\/p>\n
Bring a sack lunch. There are picnic areas at which we can eat.<\/p>\n
Wear comfortable walking shoes.<\/p>\n
Prepare for weather…we will go, rain or shine!<\/p>\n
Only Kindergarten students will ride on the bus. \u00a0Chaperones can follow behind the bus or can meet us at the Village Entrance by the fountain. \u00a0Bus should leave school around 9:30 and arrive at the Village about 9:45. \u00a0I will know our return time when I talk with the bus driver.<\/p>\n
Chaperones must be on the Approved Chaperone List. \u00a0Please check with the office to get on that list. \u00a0Again, you must be on the Approved Chaperone List to chaperone our trip. \u00a0Thanks!<\/p>\n
NO EXTRA PURCHASES-Gift Shop, Carousel, train, etc \u00a0 Please visit the Village on another day if you wish to make a purchase.<\/p>\n
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. \u00a0For example, “A” might be for\u00a0“automobile”. \u00a0“B for…”. \u00a0“C for …”<\/p>\n
Again, the trip is only for Kindergarteners.<\/p>\n
All permission slips and money have been turned in to me. \u00a0Thank you so much for that!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
READING-Our weekly Theme is “Art All Around!”<\/p>\n
Letters-“Y \u00a0y \u00a0Z \u00a0z”<\/p>\n
Words-me \u00a0 Where<\/p>\n
Chunks- We have completed all of the spelling chunks! \u00a0Their writing shows some great mastery of the chunks.<\/p>\n
I will continue to meet with reading groups. \u00a0I will also be working on year-end assessments. \u00a0Continue reading everyday. It really helps with their Fluency, Accuracy, and Stamina. \u00a0These are some of our goals.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
SCIENCE- a fun surprise!<\/p>\n
Reading, Math, and Social Studies assessments are individually given to each student. \u00a0It is wonderful that the students are so independent and capable to work by themselves while I am assessing a student! \u00a0They are amazing!<\/p>\n
I hope you had a special Mother’s Day. \u00a0Some of my sisters and I played a special handbell piece in church for my mom and then the family came over for brunch. \u00a0As 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. \u00a0Our youngest daughter, Megan, \u00a0lives in Ohio \u00a0and her husband has some health concerns. \u00a0So, I did not expect to see any of our daughters for Mother’s Day. \u00a0 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. \u00a0That’s what it’s all about and I know \u00a0all of you moms understand how precious each child is to a mom, no matter how old they get. \u00a0:). Enjoy every day. \u00a0Enjoy each child.<\/p>\n
Have a good week.<\/p>\n
