Ms. Sullivan

Thanks to everyone who brought in items for our Longfellow Tea today.  The kids were so excited and enjoyed seeing their parents and grandparents in the audience!  They were very proud of themselves, and so was I.

Next week will be another busy week.  The students will be taking the NWEA testing on the computers on Monday and Wednesday.  They will be tested in reading and math.  We will compare their scores to their fall scores to see their growth.  You will get their scores as well. 

We will be going to Heartwood College of Art on Friday afternoon.  You should have seen a permission slip come home for that.  It is a great trip put on by the allied arts team.  They will learn about a particular art form one day and the following week they will go back and be able to try it out on their own.  It is a fabulous experience!!  I learned a lot about photography last year!

Because of the change in our schedules, I will not need volunteers on Wednesday or Thursday.

Remember also that Wednesday is a half day.

We will need some 2 liter soda bottles next week for science so if you could send one in that would be great!

We will be starting new books for reading on Monday.  They will all be animal books, either The Cricket in Times Square, There's an Owl in the Shower, or Sounder.  They will also be answering comprehension questions.

Have a great weekend and thanks once again for a wonderful day today!

Thanks for helping to keep all of this straight for the kids.  Some are getting spring fever, so we are trying to stay focused and on task.  Homework will continue to come home until the last week of school, so make sure your child is doing it every night.

Thanks again and have a great week!
 

It was great seeing all the students' grandparents last week.  We had a great day!

Here are some things to remember for next week:

Monday, June 2 - Mr. Viehman (our former guidance counselor) will be coming in to do a presentation on whales.

Friday, June 6 - Dr. Nanay will be coming in to present a slide show on the United States. 

The students book projects are due tomorrow.  

We have now finished up our math program, science units and word program.  Our focus for the end of the year will be getting through the rest of the United States, reading skills, writing, and math problem solving. 

I want to thank our regular parent volunteers, Mrs. Connors, Mrs. Borden, Mrs. Whalen, and Mrs. Desmarais for coming in to help in the classroom.  Although volunteering is done this week, I would like each of you to pop in sometime next week so that we can give you a big thank you.  Any time between 8:30 and 11:30 would be best.

Enjoy the beautiful weather!!!
