Here are this week's happenings:
- This Friday, May 17 will be the last day to hand in any missing work (mostly missing morning work that is sent home). May reading calendars are now due and will be accepted for a treat, pizza coupon and certificate until Friday. I will send home a 4th quarter grade printout the last day of school.
- DIBELS results were sent home in the mail. If you have any questions about those please don't hesitate to contact me.
- I sent home a reminder note about our upcoming field trips. Please read that and send the $3.00 donation by this Friday.
- The 100-book challenge will culminate this Wednesday. I will send home an e-mail on Wednesday to those students that achieved it and remind you of the pizza lunch on Thursday. If your child receives the award they don't need to bring a lunch that day we will be eating in my room. I will take a picture of the kids then too and submit it to the newspaper and let you know the publishing date via e-mail. CONGRATS to those that went the extra mile with this challenge.
- Friday will be field day. I failed to mention on the note that if your child wants to bring a water bottle for the walk and park that would be encouraged as I am not sure if the drinking fountains are turned on at the park yet. REMEMBER GOLD EAGLE winners to wear your shirt that day for an ice cream sandwich. I got an e-mail about possible food allergies for this (ice cream treat). I am not aware of any allergies in this class, but if you don't want your child to have the ice cream please let me know (a sugar free alternative it available).
- This week will be fairly routine (I and my students tend to thrive with consistency). 😀 We will be finishing our book Kay and Martez and working on two kinds of graphs, bar graphs and tally charts. We are still learning about Our American Independence" and we will all complete a poster with the theme "Happy Birthday America" or "What America Means to me". Students will receive a flag pin on the last day of school for completing these posters.
- This week we will be celebrating our summer birthdays. It works perfectly as we have a birthday a day to celebrate this week. If your child has a summer birthday and you want to send a treat that's fine. We usually enjoy those treats during our first break at 10:30. Today we celebrated HartLee, Tuesday will be Justin, Wednesday will be Ryder, Thursday will be Brooklynn and Friday is Zeke's birthday.
- Yearbooks will be on sale starting this Friday. I sent home a flyer about this last week.
- Make sure all library books and take-home books are returned or the replacement fee paid before the end of the year. I cannot send home promotion cards (will have your child's teacher for next year printed on it) without those books back.
I will encourage your to read during the summer in these final two newsletters. It really does help ALL readers!!
Happy Reading,
Mrs. Armstrong
