                                                             Thank you for such an excellent school year! I can't believe this will be my last blog this year. These kids have grown so much and I will miss them terribly. We are starting unit 9 in math but won't get through most of it. Since this unit reviews all the skills we have done this year, I thought it would be nice to send them home with kids to review over the summer when possible. We don't want to lose that growth!! On Friday, we cleaned out lockers, cubbies, and book boxes. Everything should stay home except for good-fit books and math journals. All library books were due on Friday during Media Center, but students will still need a book to read the following week. They may need to bring a book from home or the public library because I will be packing my books for the move, ...

                                                      NWEA is complete! Ask your child about his/her score. All gum should be left at home at this time. We have been finding gum in the carpet, back room sink, and hallways. Thanks for your help with this! For those of you interested in having your child work on math at home, last week we completed unit 8/lessons 5-9. This week we will be working to finish unit 8. Practice using the IXL textbook would be beneficial.  Kiwanis Park - We will be walking to Kiwanis on Tuesday. We will be changing our lunchtime on that day so we can eat before we go. We will not be eating at the park. We plan to be there from 1:00-3:00. Parents/guardians are welcome to meet us there! Kids may bring equipment such as balls, gloves, tennis rackets, frisbees. Skateboards and electronic equipment should stay at home.  On ...

                                                         We had a fabulous time in Lansing last Thursday! I hope your child learned so much and made memories he or she will never forget. If you chaperoned and have any photos from the steps of the Capitol Building, please email them to me when you get a chance. I would love to see them and share them with the other parents. A big thanks goes out to Stacey Tyburczy for washing the field trip t-shirts so they're ready for Friday's track meet!! The track meet is Friday at the high school track from 11:30-2:30. Parents are welcome to meet us there and walk with us through the events. Students will compete in the 4 events that they have been practicing in PE.

                                                          Please read this letter from Mrs. Knuth: As we prepare for our M-STEP  tests to begin next week, we would like to make you aware of important information regarding technology. Please note that during the M-STEP testing, all electronic devices, including cell phones, smart watches, and Bluetooth headphones (or any headphones not used for testing), must be turned off and stored away from the work area.  Because of this, we encourage you to keep phones and smart watches at home on testing days. If your student brings one of these devices to school, the device should remain in the backpack and be powered off. Any devices that are not in backpacks will be collected by the teacher and stored in the teacher's area until testing is completed. Thank you for your assistance wit...
