Just a couple more updates:

• Stories for the Brainstormers assembly are due Friday.   Here is a copy of the information if you need it.
• Muffins for Mom is this Friday, May 3rd.  You can pop in with your students between 7:45-8:30 to enjoy a light breakfast treat in honor of Mother’s Day.

• Math homework is coming home today. We are starting a new topic, money!  We learned the strategy of touch points today to help us count coins.  Here is a video explaining how it works.
• A waiver must be filled out for students and adults that are going on the field trip next week. They will be sent home tomorrow. Please fill out and return if your child is going to the Howell Nature Center. Click here for another copy.
• Curriculum night is this Thursday!

We just found out that the nature center needs to know how many students will be attending by Monday at the latest, so if you have not yet turned in the permission slip, please do so by Monday, April 29th.

Thank you! 🙂

• Math homework due Wednesday
• Field trip permission slip came home today.  Please return by Wednesday, May 1st.
• PLEASE check your child’s planner daily for reminders and homework.  Reading group homework is not an option.  MANY students are not completing their homework for reading groups and it holds the rest of the group up when we have to wait for someone.  It is also helpful if you get them started, or at least look at it when they are done to make sure they followed directions.

Just a quick reminder that our field trip to the Dearborn Historical Museum is tomorrow:

• everyone has permission slips in and has paid
• Volunteers were randomly selected the week before Spring Break since we are limited by space. Thank you to everyone who volunteered to join us! The three chosen randomly are Mila’s mom, Noor’s mom, and Madleen and Sophia’s mom.
• Your child can still get a school lunch tomorrow just like normal if they need to.  We will be back at school before lunchtime.

Math:  We started Module 6 today (multiplication and division).  Everyone is bringing home their old books from the last few modules.  You can keep them for extra practice or recycle them, lol, but I don’t want them back 😉

There IS math homework coming home today (due Wednesday). I’ve attached the parent help sheets for you if you’d like to check them out, click here.    Math homework will start coming home 2 times a week (on Monday and Wednesday).
