Week of May 1

This is going to be a fun filled week!! I'm going to start by jumping straight to Friday. Friday is PLAY DAY!! Play Day is our version of the ol' school Field Day's. :) We are outside for about two hours participating in the fun activities that Mrs.Gordon and Ms.Pomeroy have done all year with the students in P.E. Right now the weather men are forecasting the weather to be Sunny and 75*. 

To protect all the students and allow everyone to have fun~ make sure your child is wearing sneakers (double knot them if you have too!) and if they want to wear a hat outside they may. NO SUNGLASSES PLEASE. Also, if you ordered a Play Day shirt DO NOT worry- they are on their way! :) Also, Shaved Ice will be sold during Play Day. I believe the price is $3.00 for a cup. If you would like your child to buy one, please send their money in a ziploc baggie on Play Day.

Our Resources are Monday: ART, Tuesday, P.E. and Wednesday: COMPUTER LAB. ooh DOn't forget Monday is also Tea Time with Mom from 3:15-4:15. 

Now on to the rest of the week... We will be working a ton on our Africa Studies due to us being an International Magnet School. We will focus on Egypt and the animals, food and culture there. :) This will take up all of our Reading and Writing time. It may even take up a lot of Saxon time too! In Math I have planned to complete 2 Duval Math lessons... I am going to do my best do them, however I want to do some Math with Egyptian Numbers. So please bare with me!  

Now on to the serious stuff going on next week. We will be completing our i-Ready Math and Reading Diagnostics. The students will have as much time as they need to complete their Diagnostic. We will have laptops in our room and they will each have their own pair of headphones. PLEASE remind your child to listen to each question and think about the answer before they click and submit DONE each time. I want each child to make growth and have a higher score than they did back in August. :)
