Book Fair!
This week is the book fair! We will preview
the fair on Monday, so students have an idea of what is available for purchase.
Students will be able to shop the book fair Tuesday-Thursday, 8:00 am-8:15 am, with a parent. Or after school on Thursday from 3-4 pm with
a parent. Friday, the Book fair will be open for students and their Grand
friends from 8 am-12 pm. Students will also have the opportunity to shop during
recess on Tuesday through Thursday. If you are ok with having your student shop
alone, you can send them with cash in a marked envelope, and I will send them
during their recess.

Parking
Info:
o
Grand-Friends can walk
out with their students from the closing in the gym.
§ Students who don’t walk out with a Grand-Friend will be brought out the
pick-up line or sent to Eagle’s Nest.
§ The normal 3-5 line will be closed. Please use the pick-up line closest to the playground to pick up all
students.
§ Please let whoever is picking up your student know that as usual, the
lane closest to the road traffic travels east to west, and the other 2 lanes
west to east.
Aside from all of the craziness happening this week, we
will also be doing some great learning!
Christian Studies:
This week we’ll learn about a couple of healing miracles Jesus did: healing ten
with leprosy and healing a blind man. We’ll
connect this healing with our lives and we’ll discuss gratitude and how we can
praise God in all circumstances.
Language Arts:
Our phonics concept is contractions, specifically those using “have,” “will,”
and “would.” We’ll practice shortening
the words and will discuss where to put the apostrophe.
We’ll also be diving into our informational text, A
Home on the Prairie, and we’ll focus on using text features and graphics to
better understand the text.
Science:
This week the kids get to design and build a pollinator! We’ve already done some analysis of what
makes a good pollinator; we’ll use that information to choose materials and
design a pollinator. We’ll get to test
them out, too!
