I hope you and your kiddo enjoyed the long weekend and were able to spend some extra time together.
The changes in morning walk have helped reduce the number of issues we were having. We will continue to have the students walk in one big circle with all grade levels walking together.
PTA will be electing three new board members for the upcoming year during the meeting on April 20th. Positions up for election are Vice-President, Treasurer, and Vice-President of Communication. If you are interested in running for one of these positions please fill out the paper that will be sent home in Wednesday Folders and return to school the following day.
We are still in need of volunteers for our end of the year field trip on May 26. You must have a background check to volunteer. These usually take a few weeks to get back so now is the time to get the process started. Christy has the forms at the office.
We will also need a few volunteers for field day. This will take place on May 24 from 9:00-10:30. Please let me know if you are interested in helping with this fun-filled morning.
In reading, we are back to our regular routine. Our essential question is, "How do things get built?" The phonics instruction will focus on the oi, and oy sounds. Please make sure you are reading each night with your child. It makes a huge difference in their reading performance.
In writing, we are still working on structure for Personal Narratives.
We are changing gears in math. This week we will learn to identify and count coins. Each day this week the students will learn about a different coin. We will start with pennies, move on to nickels, then dimes, and end with quarters. Counting coins is a tricky task for firsties.
Wishing you well,
Mrs. Dimock
