Busy Week!

It's going to be a fun and busy week.  On Wednesday, we have field day at Bitterroot from 9-10:30. Make sure your kiddo wears tennis shoes and is dressed for PE.  You may need to put sunscreen on your child before they come to school-depending on the weather.

On Friday, we have our annual field trip to Riverfront Park.  Make sure your child has appropriate clothes for the weather, running shoes, packed lunch, bug spray, sunscreen, hat, water bottle, jacket
and a packed lunch if you did not order one from the school. Volunteers-I'll be sending home a letter on Wednesday with details!

You will start seeing a lot things coming home so make sure you check your child's backpack everyday.

We will be finishing up our last reading unit, reviewing some year-long math skills, and writing letters to classmates and schoolmates to practice all of our amazing growth this year. I still can't believe we're almost done. These kiddos have grown so much and I can't wait to show them some work from their portfolios. They'll be just as amazed!

Wishing you well,
Mrs. Dimock

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!  I hope you are getting spoiled by your awesome kiddo today!

For those of you who have not turned in the permission slip and/or lunch slip I am sending home a second copy of them on Wednesday.  Be sure to fill it out and get it back ASAP!

Thank you to those who came and supported the first graders at their music performance.  It was so much fun!

The final PTA meeting of the year will be on Thursday, May 17th at 6:30 in the library.  They are still looking for a treasurer and secretary.  Please consider becoming a part of the PTA board!

We are finally back to our normal reading group routine.  This week we will be learning and reading about traditions.

In writing, we will be reviewing the different genres and completing our fourth quarter writing samples

In math, we will be learning about graphing and the different types of graphs.

Wishing you well,
Mrs. Dimock

Another Short Week!

There is no school on Friday, May 5th.

I will be sending the permission slip and sack lunch slip home for our upcoming field trip to Riverfront Park on May 26th.  Your child will also need to bring $2.00 to purchase a Snowie shaved ice.  If you are unable to send $2.00 please let me know and we can work something out.  Also, please let me know if you would like to volunteer to help out with the field trip.

It's assessment time again.  This week we will be completing the FASTBridge assessments for math and reading.  It is very important that kiddos come to school every day, well-rested.

We will still be doing whole group reading, but will not be having reading groups due to testing.  Our essential question this week is, "Who helps you?"

We are knee deep in animal research and writing.  We will be finishing up our writing this week and hopefully will have time to get some illustrating done.

In math, we are moving on to geometry.  We will continue with 2-D shapes and move on to 3-D shapes.  We will be learning about the defining attributes of the shapes (sides, vertices, open, closed).  We will also squeeze in a few fraction lessons while learning about shapes.

Wishing you well,
Mrs. Dimock
