Dear Families,
I want to thank all of you for taking the time to go with us to the zoo. What an awesome day we had! I also want to thank all of you that gave to our scholarship fund. Your generous support makes sure that every child and parent can go with us.
I will not be in the building next Monday, May 19 or Tuesday May 20, so I will not send a newsletter next week. The next newsletter will be Tuesday, May 27.
Homework
Home-School connection for this week is coming home today.
Spring Clothes/Shoes
This is a reminder to put your child's name inside spring jackets. It makes it easier to return your child's coat if they leave it outside. Also, students are not to wear flip-flops to school. They loose them when running or jumping and sprain their ankles. Sandals, crocs or tennis shoes are recommended. Also, girls are not to wear halter tops to school. Tank tops are okay to wear.
Reading/Science
Our reading theme this week and next week is Interesting Insects. The letters for this unit is g, v, w, x. Our high-frequency words are she, he, has, look. Please work with your child at home on these letters and sounds.
Math
We will be focusing on story problems, addition and subtraction. We will also be learning the names of 3-D shapes.
Reminders:
No school on Thursday May 22, Friday May 23 and Monday May 26
Friday, May 30 is the Learning Celebration
Have a great week,
Karen
