Dear Families,
I want to thank all of you for getting your field trip permission slips and money to me so quickly.
Special Events
This Friday, May 2nd, 6:30 is the 5th Grade vs. Staff Basketball Game. The game will be held at Alder Creek Middle School. The doors will open at 6:00. Admission is $2 per person.
Artist-in-Residency
Last week we had Ms. Flinn and Mr. Rinse in for our first session of five sessions. Their focus is on drama and incorporating it into learning. Last week we learned how to make numbers with our bodies and retold a story by acting out the parts. The kids had a great time!
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 schoes are recommended. Also, girls are not to wear halter tops to school. Tank tops are okay to wear.
Reading/Science
Last week we learned about trees. We went outside and explored an Oak tree and a Maple tree. We painted pictures of lilacs with Mrs. Stines and did a leaf rubbing. During this unit the kids will need to learn these words: little, said, here, was and these two letters k and u.
Math
We will be focusing on story problems, addition and subtraction. We will also be learning the names of 3-D shapes.
