News

While pet day is lots of fun, there is also news to share. The All School Meeting met on Friday and passed a proposal that will interest our class. We missed the meeting because of pet day. A proposal making next week spirit week passed and the following dress-up days were decided upon: Monday-PJ Day, Tuesday-Gender Switch Day, Wednesday-Superhero Day, Thursday-Formal Day, Friday-School Spirit day..

We also have Pie/Pi day scheduled for next Friday. We will make pies and investigate circles. Should be lots of fun.

Proposals that passed in our class meeting were that we will schedule bring your favorite book day, you can't drop things from the loft or throw them up there, everyone should bring their own water bottle to school, we can't blurt out things when it's not your turn, and that we will schedule wheel day and bring your stuffed animal day (that's one day, both things come) for later in the year.

Mayan projects are going great. Please help your child do the paper homework/research at home. We are working in class to make things great! Remember to put the 20th from 10:30 to 12:00 down on your calendar as time to come see our projects in action.

Remember that reading a-z or RAZ-kids is available to you at home if you have internet access. The kids are loving it and doing great. the website is www.RAZ-kids.com. Log in to my username: bethmolenkamp and then their icons come up and they sign in. They now have a feature where they can read a book out loud and the computer will record and store it. Please encourage them to do this so we can have it on file for portfolios!

Speaking of such, if you would like to learn how to load things into the e-portfolio system that would be greatly appreciated. It's hard to get our kids to do it on their own, but we would love to have their work archived and shared with you. Just drop me a line!
