Personal note:
I want to apologize for this blog being a day late and for my absence at school on Friday, May 9 and Monday, May 12. Ryan and I got news early Friday morning that Ryan's stepfather passed away. He was diagnosed with terminal caner on May 2. Everything happened pretty quickly, but we know that he didn't suffer for very long. The memorial was on Monday. Thank you for your kind thoughts and support.
What We Are Doing:
Math-
For Math we are working with addition facts. The students are learning different ways to find addition fact sums. We will have our chapter test next week.
Theme-
We will learn about the different types of clouds this week. We will make a book and make the different shapes of clouds with shaving cream. Don't be surprised if your child begins predicting the weather soon.
Timelines:
The Kindergarteners are doing a class project where they will create their own timelines, and write advice to next years incoming class. Both of these will be displayed at our graduation ceremony. We will need photos for this project. Please send your photos in an envelope with your child's name on it. They need one photo for every year, i.e., a baby picture, a 1 year photo, a 2 year, 3 year, 4 year, 5 year, and if they are 6, a 6 year old picture. They will also need a recent photo, ( a class picture would be good) for their advice. All together they will need 6 or 7 photos for this project. We realize it may take a bit before you can gather all pictures, so please just send them in when you have everything together. We will be working on this for most of the month of May. The Friends will share their timelines with the class. Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you so much!!!!
Graduation-
Graduation plans are going well. If you would like to donate a package or two of juice boxes for our graduates, please contact Ms. Gelakoska by email, or phone ex. 135.
Snack-
We need some snack volunteers! It's the end of the year and we are running low on snack. If you would like to volunteer, please contact Leslie Shriver or Mrs. Warga.
Have a great week.
