Savanna 3-14-14

Dear Parents:

         Thank you so much for coming to see our annual Wax Museum.  The children all did a great job researching, writing, and presenting their famous American.  It was great to see them interacting with all the visitors and sharing what they had learned.  There is another opportunity for you to come and support your child next Thursday, March 20th. Under the direction of Ms. Jugdersuren, the children will perform the songs they have learned on the recorder.  This event will be held in the gym between 10:10 and 10:50.  We hope you will be able to join us for this music performance.

Academically we are moving along.  To wrap up our study of matter the children enjoyed making Gak and Flubber and wondering how solids and liquids react to make such interesting polymers.  We will move onto force and motion next week.  In Social Studies we began learning about the county of Mail.  This will be a short unit and the children should expect a test within the next week or so.  In Math we are exploring fractions and how things can be divided into equal parts. We continue to work on our writing skills in Language Arts, as well as building our vocabularies. 

As you know our annual Book Fair and Young Author’s Night will be held the week of March 24-28.  Young Author’s night will be held on Wednesday evening March 26th from 6:30PM – 8:30PM.  The event offers children in grades K-5 the opportunity to read from their original work for an audience of friends and parents.  To sign up your child, please go to:  http://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B0E48ACA82CA75-young.  Contact Maggie Debelius (madebelius@yahoo.com) with questions.


With the spring sports starting up, I would like to ask for soccer, baseball, lacrosse, and softball schedules.  I know games are a couple of weeks away, but I would appreciate schedules when you get them.  Lastly, please be sure to look over the upcoming activities and mark your calendars accordingly.

I hope everyone enjoys the weekend.
