May 8-10

Hello everyone!  We had a scorcher of a week and with the weather this good how much work did we get done?  Well, let me tell you, the kids worked pretty hard and it was nice to be able to have week with minimal interruptions.

Our track and field team is all but made up and now notices are being sent home to see who will be attending the district track meet on May 22nd.  We are very pleased to say that we have a group of 9 selected to attend the meet.  On the notice will be information on what event and whether your child is an alternate.  The alternate status means that if someone is injured or cannot attend that event, your child will compete in the place of the injured athlete.  We wish them all the best!  The rest of us will be cheering them on from school.  

Some up dates to the blog.  I have found a way to link worksheets to the planner message on the blog site.  If your child is missing the worksheet you can click on the link and the work sheet will be available to print and/or download.  No need to wait till the next day to get the sheet, it is available on our blog.

Our student will be coming home with a special gift for mom.  When your child says "don't look in my bag!"  They really mean it.

Our math unit on multiplication and division is coming to a close and we will be moving on to Fractions.  I have some websites that will help your child with fractions.  Please check the math tab on our blog for some help or check the Teaching Links tap for some more resources.

We've finalized our artist study on Andy Warhol and we will be studying Georgia O'Keeffe.

Next week we will continue our Bat unit in Science.  The students will have an opportunity to do some research on the bat of their choice.  We will be presenting their research in the form of a powerpoint slide.

We wish everyone a Happy Mother's Day!!!  Have a great weekend!

Mr. Sum
