Newsletter 5-15-16

It's hard to believe we're getting so close to the end of the school year.  This week we're learning all about cowboys in language arts.  We're writing facts and details about the special gear cowboys wear.  We're planning to dress like cowboys and cowgirls this Friday!   

We are learning how to tell time in math.  Students need to be able to tell time on an analog clock to the nearest five minutes.  Please help your child practice this at home with a clock or a watch.  They can also use the time links on my blog to play fun learning games.

Amanda was our latest student to get 100% fluency on her math facts in Reflex Math.  Way to go!  

Even though we are getting near the end of the year, it is still important for students to return homework and study their spelling words.  Please continue to sign and send back planners, too.

Thank you for the nice gifts and cards for Teacher Appreciation Week.  Thank you to Mrs. Pappas, as well, who helped the kids decorate the door and surprise me when I got back from lunch.

Our field trip to the aquarium was terrific!  We saw amazing animals and learned about whales in our special presentation.  We topped off our day with lunch and playtime at the park.  Thank you to our parent chaperones who helped.

Thanks for your support at home.  Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
