Dear Parents:
Thank you so much for coming to the
Recorder Concert yesterday. The children
did such a wonderful job and I know Ms. Jugdersuren was thrilled with the turn
out as well as the children’s performance. It was a lovely way to celebrate Arts
in the School Month.
Academically
we continue to move ahead. Even with the
snow day on Monday, we have been able to continue our work with fractions,
learning about Mali, and discussing the phases of the moon. There will be a
test on Mali next Wednesday. The
children have most of the materials they need for this in their Social Studies
composition books as well as their binders.
We
spent time on Wednesday discussing how hard it has been to get back learning. The children all shared that the snow days
have made it difficult to get focused on school work, that they have become
used to staying up a bit later than usual, and that they all become used to
playing….A LOT! It was a great
discussion and as a wrap up everyone thought about two things they could do to
help themselves get back into the school routine. Most of the suggestions included getting more
sleep, and remembering that focus on what is happening in the classroom rather
than what happened on the snow days is important. Your help at home with these reminders is
most appreciated.
As
I mentioned last week, the Book Fair and Young Author’s Night will be held next
week. 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. There is still time 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.
Finally,
we will be swimming next week at Yorktown Pool.
The children will need to bring a bathing suit, towel cap and goggles
(if they have them) each day in a separate bag.
As we will be leaving at 9:30 am, the children can wear their suits under
their school clothes if they wish.
Please be sure to pack underwear in their bag if they wear their suit
under their clothes. Everyone will take a swim test on Monday, and then will be
broken into groups according to skill level for the remainder of the week.
I
hope everyone enjoys the weekend.
