The Wind Energy Family Night is tonight!

Wind Energy Night Tuesday 5/31
The Ann Arbor Hands On Museum is hosting a Wind Energy Night tonight, Tuesday, May 31st.  It will be similar to the tech night they hosted in the fall which was a lot of fun. Volunteers are needed!  More information can be found here.

Kindergarten and First Grade Potluck
There is a kindergarten and first grade potluck scheduled for Sunday, June 5th from 12:00 to 2:00 PM.  More information can be found here.  I mentioned last week that I planned on attending the first hour with my son though he’s been a little under the weather lately so it may just be me.

Thanks Again For the FUN RUN Donations
We met and exceeded our goal of $20,000! Our final total was $21,227!

A2STEAM Ice Cream Social is Friday, June 10, 6-8pm!
Come to the super-fun annual Ice Cream Social--with FREE games, petting zoo, bounce-houses, and other events. We'll have Washtenaw Dairy ice cream and pizza--available by the slice or whole-pizza pre-orders (use the order form sent out by the PTO). Food items will involve a small cost. This event can't be pulled off without a lot of volunteer help--please sign up using this LINK if you can help on the day of the event. Questions? Contact Ellen Fischer: fischer.asis@gmail.com

Curriculum Overview
Science/Social Studies - We are studying and mapping the neighborhood here in Northside.  Students will build small models of the homes and apartments where they live to create a 3D representation of our neighborhood.

Math - As part of our 3D mapping we are reviewing 3 dimensional shapes and figures as well as becoming more fluent with our addition and subtraction math facts.  We are also revisiting fractions.

Literacy - We have been reading non-fiction books about neighborhoods as well as enjoying some books by author Chris Van Allsburg.

Writing - Students are writing and drawing about their favorite spot in their neighborhood.

Word Study - We are studying the qu- and tw- bends.  Words like queen, quick, twin, and twist.

Room K-3 students sign each other’s shirts at the fun run.
