The vertical garden students planted is really doing well. |
NWEA
The students worked hard on the NWEA last week, please thank them for their hard work. Many students will be finishing their literacy assessment tomorrow (Tuesday). Make sure they have a healthy breakfast, a good night’s sleep, and are ready to do their best as they finish this exam.
Tie Dye Shirt Volunteers
To honor the amazing job we did in the Color Fun Run fundraiser we are having a tie dye t-shirt party on Monday, June 12th from 8:00 AM to 9:30 AM. If you would like to help kids make their shirts at this party please send me an email. Let me know as soon as you can.
Return Books To Ms. Reader
Many, many students still have library books due. If there is a book still out Ms. Reader sent home a note with the picture of the cover last Friday. She does a great job keeping our library stocked and current, let’s get those books back in to the school this week.
Have Kids Wear Old Clothes
On Wednesday I believe the students will be glazing their pottery in art class again. I am told that the materials they will use can stain clothing. Don't send the students to school wearing something really nice. On Monday, June 12th, we will be having our Tie Dye party (see above). It is highly likely that students will stain their clothes on that day as well.
Summer Kickoff!
The 2017 A2 STEAM Summer Kickoff is this Sunday, June 11th from 5-7:30 p.m. There will be free ice cream for the students and Ray's Red Hot Dogs will be available for purchase. The PTO needs volunteers to pickup & deliver ice cream, setup the event, sign people in, sell tix, kick the ball, scoop the sweet stuff and clean-up! Go here to volunteer.
If you have any questions about the Summer Kickoff feel free to email PTO president Robyn at emailvolunteer@a2steampto.org
Curriculum Overview
Science - We are studying what living things (plants and animals) need to survive. We are learning about how animals can be classified by their food needs (i.e. herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores).
Math - This week I will work with different math groups to cover topics where they still could use additional support and instruction.
Literacy - We are reading books that help us understand how maps represent different locations. The book we are reading right now focuses on the great lakes and surrounding region.
Writing - As a final assessment students are writing about a special memory they have of doing something with their family.
Word Study - This week students are reviewing syllables and other word study topics we have covered earlier this year.
