You're children are impressive! They have remained focused, done their best, and stayed quiet as their classmates finished. Some of our early finishers had to sit still for an hour while others finished testing. Whew! That would be hard for most of us. The Reading/Writing portion is finished and Monday and Tuesday are math. Thanks again for making sure your child is in bed on time, has a good breakfast, and comes to school happy. They are also loving those extra snacks. Working so hard must burn extra calories!
We did have some fun today with our book buddies. Ask your child what they did with jelly beans and who they have as a book buddy. . It is incredibly heartwarming to see how excited they become when I announce we are seeing our book buddies. REMINDERS: - In your child's folder is a more comprehensive letter about Invention Convention. Please cut off the bottom, sign it, and return it on Monday. All children who return it Monday receive 50 Bonus Bucks. - I'm still missing some registration forms and brown envelopes that went home last week. PLEASE return those Monday, as well. - The students also have a flyer about a CLASS talent show IF they are interested. The deadline for that to be returned is Friday, May 11. - Our Poetry Coffeehouse is Friday, May 12 from 7:30-8:30. -Keep helping your child practice those multiplication tables!!!!!!!!!!! NEXT WEEK: Friday is Arts in Ed day so please don't come eat lunch with your child. They will be eating in the room. - Reading/Writing - We will be "climbing into many poems" to discover how much fun poetry can be and why it is so important. Students create "doors to poetry" that help them realize where they can find ideas for poems - a heart door, a memory door, etc. Finally, they examine the structure of different types of poems and create their own. Be ready to be wowed at our poetry coffeehouse. -Math - After so much review and two days of math testing next week we will take a day to play math games to help the students master those multiplication facts and Thursday we have math with parents. Yea! Science - We will start exploring magnets. Have a great weekend and buckle your seat belts! MAY is right around the corner and we all know how FUN (busy) that month is.
