Peek at Our Week

4-6-26

 

I hope everyone had a nice spring break. Even though the weather was not the best, I was able to relax, read, and get some projects done that I've been putting off.  As the week went on, my list got longer though. The list is still "in progress".  : )

 

Field Trip Note to Science Museum - Your child will be bringing home information about our field trip to the Science Museum on Tues. April 28. The cost is $21.00. which is due by this Friday, April 10th. You can pay by cash, check (payable to Raven Stream) or on Infinite Campus. Students will also need to bring a bag lunch (or you may get one from the school - this form is also due Friday, April 10th). If you'd like to help chaperone, please email me by Friday, April 10th. I will do a drawing that day for the five slots I'm allowed to ride with us on the bus.

 

GRASP Summer Packets - Just like last year, I'm sending home forms to order reading and/or math packets to purchase. These are great supplemental booklets to keep your child's skills sharp over the summer. I used them with my children when they were in elementary school. My kids did a page or two in their packets almost daily until they were completed. The form is due by April 25. Let me know if you have any questions.  

 

New phonics curriculum starting today! Our school district is starting a new phonics program called Funcional phonics. It will take off where our class currently is in our old phonics program. Each week there will be a Home-School Connection paper that will be sent home for you to see what we're learning.

 

Don't forget....Class Musical next Monday, April 13! It will begin promptly at 11:15. Remember you'll have to check in with the office too. I can't wait to see the performance!
