Peek at Our Week

4-16-26

 

It was wonderful to see so many parents and guests at our class musical. The kids loved performing! and I still end up hearing the kids randomly singing or humming the songs. ) Mrs. Giles will send the link to the video as soon as she gets it ready.

 

I will not be at school today and tomorrow. I'll be heading to Tampa,Florida today to attend my sweet niece's wedding. I'm looking forward to some sunshine and seeing family...maybe a quick trip to the beach too.

 

In math we're learning about arrays. It's the start of learning how to multiply. We use equal groups of rows and columns to visualize the number. 

 

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.

SOCIAL EMOTIONAL SKILLS (2nd Step) - Managing Anger • Everyone feels angry sometimes, but hurting other people’s feelings or bodies is not okay. • It’s important to calm down angry feelings so you don’t do something hurtful. • Being assertive is a respectful way to get what you want or need.

Please help your child get a good night's sleep each night and start the day with a healthy breakfast. We've got lots of learning to do. Have a great week!
