Hi Everyone!
Happy Mother's Day! Here's a message for the moms from Kid President...
...and here's your weekly update!
Thank You, Thank You, and Thank You Again!
I can't begin to thank you appropriately for the kind words, beautiful flowers, and many gifts you sent in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week. The generosity you showed during Teacher Appreciation Week is both overwhelming and humbling. I can't thank you enough for the treats and kind words.
Odds and Ends:
Please mark your calendar for our Poet's Tea on Friday, June 3rd from 9:45 - 10:30 in our classroom. This will be the culminating event of our Poetry writing unit, and all families are welcome to attend. At the tea, you'll enjoy poetry readings and light refreshments. You may stay to eat lunch with your child if you'd like, too. More details will follow.
Focus Areas for the Coming Week:
Finally, a very Happy Mother's Day to the moms! I wish you many blessings, and a day that honors you for the love, dedication, and support you offer your sweet babies everyday! Thank you for sharing them with me!

Odds and Ends:
- In the coming week, we will begin to practice at school for our American Symbols performance. Please ensure your child is continuing to say his/her line each day (from memory!) at home with a clear, confident voice.
- Please check the "Important Dates" section of this blog for upcoming events at school. You can find the dates for events like Field Day, the Ice Cream Social, and More!
Read, Read, and Read Some More:
Our end of year literacy testing is fast approaching! When I administer the end-of-year Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA), I will be asking your child to read a story out loud, to retell the story in sequence using characters' names and providing as many details as possible, to identify a favorite part of the story and to state why, and to make a personal connection to the story. I can't say it enough.....Please, please, please be sure your child is reading every single day (weekends too!) and is practicing these skills.
