May 13-17, 2013

Happy Mother's Day to each and every mother!  Your children have been busy and excited all week thinking of you and making a special gift!  Enjoy the sweet time together and cherish every moment with your children!  I praise God for you and for the example of Christ you are!  May the Lord continue to bless you and your families.

This week we will continue with a big week of learning as we have a full, five day week.  We will continue working hard right up until the last day of school.  On Thursday, we will have our SHC field trip to DeGraaf Nature Center.  Please send a regular "cold" lunch to school with your child.  We will not order hot lunch Thursday in order to be ready to leave on time.  Also, there are several upcoming field trips planned for individual grade levels.  Please check the schedule below carefully.  On the last day of school, we are planning a picnic together.  Parents are welcome to join us!

Students should be starting to record their observations with their geraniums this week.  Please let me know if you have any questions throughout the unit.  I think students will enjoy the predictions, observations, and conclusions they can make throughout their scientific process!  I have included a small correction for Grades 1-3 in your child's red folder regarding how to access the "Readers" on the Science Fusion website.   Please let me know if you have any questions throughout the unit!


I have heard from about half of  our students about marching in the Memorial Day parade on Monday, May 27.  We would love to have as many of our students march as possible.  Please let me know if you are able to join us!

If you have any questions about anything as we begin to wrap up the year,  please let me know!

Have a great week!
 Mrs. Walters
