Book Clubs have been fairly constant for the past two months. Our last day for Book Clubs will be Friday, May 24th. Your child will continue to have assignments today, May 17th, and May 24th. Your child will finish his/her Book Club book by Friday, May 24th. I appreciate your help with Book Clubs, such as listening to your child read, helping your child monitor his/her comprehension, or making sure the assignments have been completed. Your child's success with Book Clubs is an indication of help from you at home. Thank you!
Our May field trip is just around the corner. We are planning our last field trip on Friday, May 31st. We are planning on traveling to the National Eagle Center and Lark Toys. The National Eagle Center is located in Wabasha, Minnesota and Lark Toys is located in Kellogg, Minnesota. We plan on leaving early that morning (around 7:45 AM) and returning around 3:45 PM. I will contact you, or inform your child, if you will be needed as a chaperone for the field trip. I will send more information about the field trip this week, so ask your child about it. THERE WILL BE FORMS THAT WILL NEED TO BE FILLED OUT AND RETURNED! Thanks!
For those students that read all of the calendars for the Pizza Hut Book It program, they will be rewarded next week! Woot, woot! In years past, we have had a classroom pizza party. Due to the changes to our food program, we are unable to have a pizza party. However, we will celebrate with a "Dinner and a Movie." Your child will eat lunch in the classroom with me as we watch a short movie during that time. I will supply a dessert that would follow the guidelines of our food program. I will choose a day next week where we will have "Dinner and Movie" and let you know when it will be. Thanks!
Your will bring home his/her geometry test at the end of this week. Once you see his/her test, please sign and return your child's math test. For the remainder of the year in math, your child is going to be working on mastering the multiplication fact families from 0-10. My suggestion is to practice each of these fact families at home. My suggestion to help your child learn the facts would be starting with fact families in the following order: 1, 2, 10, 5, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Beginning on Wednesday, your child will take daily timed tests on the fact family he/she is on. Once your child masters the 1s, he/she will move onto the 2s, then 10s, and so on. We have a small incentive at school to help motivate the students to begin memorizing their facts. Ask your child about it! Keep in mind that the students cannot use their fingers and need to have their facts memorized to fully master a fact family. Thanks for the help! Please contact me with any questions.
Have a fabulous week! Thanks!
