Weekly Update 05-15-15



Important Announcements:

*Congratulations to these students for qualifying for the pizza party with Miss Whisman for the reading competition: Elijah, Lila, Faith, Caleb, Braeden, and Griffin!  I am so proud of these students for reading as much as they did during March and April!  Way to go! 

*Our zoo field trip will be on Tuesday, May 19th.  We will leave school at 9:00 a.m. and return by 2:00 p.m.  If your child did not purchase a sack lunch from the cafeteria, he/she will need to bring one from home.  All students will need to wear their dog jog t-shirts.  They are the neon yellow ones with a purple paw print on the front.  I am looking forward to a great trip! 

*We will be taking our last SRI of the year on Wednesday, May 20th.  I will send home a report with your child’s final score after the test!  I am excited to see how much they have grown! 

*Your child will not have any reading homework this week or next week.  He/she will continue to have math homework. 

*Track and Field is scheduled for Friday, May 22nd.  Your child will be given a t-shirt to wear that was provided by the PTSG.  Your child will also need to bring a water bottle that he/she can use throughout the day.  There will be NO recess and NO specials the day of Track and Field.

Our Schedule for Track and Field:
Fun Day: 9:00 – 9:50
Field Day: 9:55 – 10:45
Lunch: 11:30 – 12:00
Game Day: 12:30 – 1:20
Track: 1:35 – 2:25

*Continue to work on addition and subtraction math facts.  Make sure to use those fact triangles that were sent home, or you can practice for free online at www.xtramath.org. 

*I believe in building relationships with the children both inside my classroom and outside the classroom.  If your child participates in any extracurricular activities (sports, dance, theater, etc.), or has any other events that he/she would like to invite me to, please let me know, and I will do my best to come! 

*The blog will also be updated with this information as well so if you need to see it again visit http://misswhisman.blogspot.com .
