Weekly add-ons

A couple things I forgot to add to the weekly e-mail:


Jumanji - We have been doing an author study on Chris Van Allsburg.  This Friday we will be watching Jumanji, which is based on one of Van Allsburg's book.  This movie is rated PG. If you have any concerns about your child watching this movie, please send me an email


Field Trip Thursday - Students need to have a sack lunch packed for this day.  Chaperones can meet us outside of the Fort Meigs entrance just before 10 am. Please make sure students are dressed for the weather and an active day outside.

Team Mindcrafters Weekly Update - 4-30-18

Parents,

Testing is over and Spring appears to be here, finally. (Yeah!) As you can see from the events listed below, May is a very busy month full of fun activities to finish the year.  

Please continue to stress with your child the importance of giving their best effort in all things up until the end of the year.  Students should continue to read nightly and complete homework just as they have done so well so far this year.  You can also help by making sure your child gets an appropriate night's rest each evening.  As spring sports kick in and the sun sets later, it can be easy for your child to get a little run down.  Thanks so much for all of your support in all things so far this year!  We are looking forward to a really exciting end of the school year!

My apologies for forgetting to send this out yesterday...

Congrats!  Congratulations to Mrs. Dressel for both qualifying for and successfully completing the Boston Marathon.  The cold and rainy weather made an already challenging course even tougher, but she ran it and ran it well!

Team Mindcrafters Weekly Update - 4/10/18

Parents,

I hope everyone had a great Spring Break.  The students did a great job coming in recharged and ready to learn today:)

Spring Pictures - Spring pictures are tomorrow.  There is nothing you need to send in unless you would like to choose a pose from the information that was sent home before break.

State Testing -  We will have state testing the next two weeks.  It would be great if you could avoid any appointments on those days.  Our ELA tests next week are on April 18 and April 20.  The following week we will have our Math tests on April 24 and April 26.
