Weekly Notable News Update
Dear Parents,
Field Day was enjoyed by everyone. Thank you for the water, Gatorade, and assistance.
May 20-24 is our last full week of full days. May 28-30 we are also having full days of school. May 31 school dismisses at 10:30 and will not have After School available.
Our May altar honors Mary. Thank you for the beautiful fresh flowers at her special altar. Please send fresh flowers (no lilies) on the first day of the assigned week. Students are asked to bring flowers according to their mailbox numbers on the following weeks:
May 20: #s 17-22
Our Life Skill will be Friendship. We will be reading about and discussing the importance of making and keeping friends through mutual trust. Let's remember to look for the goodness in everyone.
We will be working in Math chapters 15-16 which focus on time and money.
- Please practice: telling time to the half hour on a dial face/analog clock, identifying coins, trading coins, and coin values.
- One on One math fact assessments 0-15 will be completed weekly. Timed drills may not always reflect your child's finest printing since they are quickly recording answers. Please continue to assist your children in memorizing math fact families 0-15 (i.e. 1+2=3, 2+1=3, 3-1=2, 3-2=1). These facts must be committed to memory with quick recall. Counting on fingers or using number lines are not acceptable.
- Accelerated Reading progress will be noted in the May Newsletter. Please see the school link for this publication. AR goals assignments will continue. Keep reading. I'm proud of the amazing progress you are making.
REMINDERS and UPDATES
- All students need a water bottle and snack every day. Students ordering Better Lunch need snacks.
- Please check Seesaw, and Freckle regularly to be sure all assignments are completed by Friday am.
Your child's finest effort is expected on all work (printing, cutting, coloring). Work that is completed messy will result in your child redoing it during their recess. This is a school-wide policy and is still in effect when necessary. Please reinforce with your children the expectations of high standards and consequences directly connected to work quality. Entering 2nd Grade is only a few weeks away. Let's finish strong!
God bless you for your unending support. Have a terrific week! Please be sure to read the Home and School Connection for weekly information.
Blessings,
Mrs. Thomas
