Monday Memo
April 21, 2014
Dear Parents,
I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend! Unfortunately
we were unable to go to the care center last week, but they were so kind to us
and brought over treats in Easter eggs and marshmallow treats!! So wonderful of
them and a nice way to kick off our long weekend!!
We will be reviewing previously learned skills over our
Heroes unit. We will be reading a story this week that comes from the series of
books about the horses of Chincoteague. The students all received one of
Margurite Henry’s books on the horses, as their second book to read for the
month of April. Those books are due on the last day of April. I will be giving
them their first book of May, on the first of May. This week we will be writing a story about
our hero. We will go through all of the steps of publishing. We will also be
talking about cause and effect. Our review spelling words will be going home
with the students tomorrow. Today we took our post test from last week since we
weren’t at school last Friday.
For math, we will be spending the week reviewing over
Chapter 8. On Friday, we will be taking the test over our geometry unit.
We have just started a very short unit on Fossils in
Science. I will be sending a study guide home with the students on Thursday. We
will be testing over this short unit on Friday.
Sometime in the near future, the students will be
bringing home a note letting you know about our upcoming summer school. It will
be held June 16-27th and July 7-18th. It is a four week
session for reading. The students will be here from 9:00 until 12:00 with lunch
provided. We will be having a bus stop in Klemme, Goodell, and Rowan at a site
to be revealed in the forthcoming letter. Once you have received the letter,
please email me if you are interested in your child participating. Once we have
all of the names of students willing to commit to the program, a letter will be
sent home with those that will be elgible to participate. My email is at the
bottom of this memo. I will put this paragraph in the next few Monday memos to
remind you to let me know if you are interested in your child participating.
As always, call with any questions/concerns!!
Have a great week!
