Week of March 25th Update

Good afternoon parents,

Wow! I was so blown away by the kids and their VIP presentations! For those of you that were able to make it, I hope you were able to see your child’s hard work that they have put in for this project. For those of you that could not make it, know that your child’s hard work did not go unnoticed!

Next week in…

• Reading and Writing: We will be doing Milestone preparation review. We will be reading several passages and answering questions about the passages. Students will also practice writing constructed and extended responses.
• Word Work: Students will take their vocabulary quiz on Monday.

Reminders:

• We will be taking our class picture on Monday. The kiddos had great practice a few weeks ago and they all looked so nice, so let’s repeat that (just without the flooding please 😊)!
• You should be able to view your child’s report card on Parent Vue as of today.

Week of March 11th Update

Good afternoon parents,

What. A. Week. I have to compliment the kids again, because they continued to do a fabulous job this week despite our classrooms being in a different location. I also appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we worked through this unforeseen circumstance.

• Word Work: Students will receive a new list of vocabulary words. This quiz will be on Monday, March 25^th.

Reminders:

• Please be working on the assignments that need to be completed at home for the VIP project. Please see my email from last week with picture examples.
• I still am not aware of a new date for our spring pictures. I will let you know the new date as soon as possible!
• The stage will be closed next week as it is being prepared for the 5^th grade musical, therefore students are not allowed to have visitors for lunch. I apologize for this inconvenience.
• Wednesday is an early release day. Students will be dismissed at 12:30.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
