We only have 9 days left!!!!   How exciting!  But... we (you and me) need to keep a handle on the childrens' behavior.  You can help me with this by checking their behavior calendars daily.  This will show them that they are going to be held accountable at home for their behavior at school.  Thank you for your help with this!

         Our reading story this week is Montigue on the High Seas .  It is a story. The spelling words are:

   

T here are lots of fun ways that you can help your child prepare for the reading test on Fridays.  You should definitely have your child read the story to you at least once during the week.  Some other ideas are:  

       have your child retell the story to you

     ask who the main character(s) are and a description of them

     ask them to draw a scene from the story

     ask about their favorite part and why

     ask factual detail questions about the story.

 

    We are continuing to finish up our Math books.  I am going to introduce and expect the children to memorize the 2's and 3's multiplications tables.  I will also be giving them the 5's and 10's this week.  They are very excited about learning multiplication.  Please encourage them with this.

 

 

 

 

     Field Day is this Thursday, May 15th.  I would love if you would like to join us for all the fun!  We need about 4 more boxes of Capri Suns if you are interested in sending any in we would appreciate it.

   Our last PTO meeting will be on Thursday, May 13th at 7:00.

     Carnations for Character is on Friday, May 16th. 

    Our luau is on Wednesday, May 21st at 9:30.  I am really getting excited about our last party.

   Popcorn Friday's are still going on.  It only cost $.50 and makes a special snack after a long week.  All money from Popcorn Friday's goes to purchase a new improved playground for our kids which they really need.

   The last day of school is May 22nd :)!

   Please remember as the sun begins to stay up later and later that you continue to get your child to bed at a reasonably early time.  They are complaining about being tired and sleepy at school a lot these days.  THANKS :)!
