We have created art and done reflection pieces on each day of Holy Week. We are slowly working on publishing those and putting them up on the wall you run into as you come downstairs. Come check out the beautiful work your kiddos have done!
Math:
We are still working on division, multiplication facts, and practicing for our Achievement Tests in a couple of weeks.
Writing and Reading:
Last week we began a Non-Fiction writing unit as well as a project that involves your kids doing some reporting. These are pretty big projects and we will be continuing them for the next couple of weeks so that we have nice finished work to display for our Grandparents!
Grandparents' Day:
Next Thursday April 27th is Grandparents' Day. Please make sure to check out the link below for more information and RSVP your guests. As always, Grandparents are welcome to take students off campus for lunch after the classroom sessions. They may also stay here at school and eat lunch if they choose. Please just make sure to mark what they will be doing when they RSVP. It also helps to let your child know who will be coming and what their lunch plans are. It creates a much smoother day for all of us if your child is in the know!
Amazing Race Field Trip:
Monday May 22nd is our field trip to Forest Park for the Amazing Race. This is a very fun day that requires a lot of parents to be present. I guarantee you will have fun while getting exercise for your legs and brain! Here's a couple of things to keep in mind:
1. Parents will be assigned to a group of 3-4 students (we can put more than one adult in a group if you can only come for part of the day)
2. Make sure you and your child wear weather appropriate clothing. We will be outside ALL DAY! You will want to wear exercise clothes and tennis shoes.
3. This is a giant scavenger hunt that parents lead the kids on around Forest Park. The clues are on an app called Klikaklu. This app is only on iphones unfortunately. If you don't have an iphone, you can still come. We will just arrange our groups accordingly.
4. We try to start the race as close to 9 am as possible. Groups finish at different times so we just have the finished groups head over to the playground while they wait. We will eat lunch there and then head home sometime around 1:30.
5. If you know that you would like to come, please RSVP and let me know if you have access to an iphone or ipad with cell service. It's easiest if you tell me what type of device you have available to you.
6. We will be going rain or shine, as long as it is safe for the kids (obviously no thunderstorms or giant downpours.
