Spring Break

Thank you for all of your help to prepare for the Wisconsin Program. The fourth graders did an amazing job and their success would not have been possible without your help!


Science Field trip:

Our science field trip is the Monday after Spring Break, April 28th! The bus must leave Summit School by 8:15 to make it to our trip on time. It is extremely important that students arrive to school no later than 8:10. We will be outside for portions of the field trip so it will be important that students dress for the weather. We will be going rain or shine :) Fingers crossed for a beautiful sunny day in the 60's! (Is that asking too much? haha) Please send students to school with a bag lunch. All items must be disposable.


Read-A-Thon:

Our annual Read-A-Thon starts Thursdays, April 17th. This year Mrs. Wilson will slide down a mudslide, if 350 Summit School reader's reach their goal! Please see the handout that went home on Monday for more information!

                                                Human Growth and Development:

On Wednesday, students brought home a letter outlining our Human Growth and Development curriculum content. We will begin the lessons when we come back from Spring Break. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me.

Odds 'n Ends:
- Homework over break: Read a minimum of 3 times for 30 minutes.
- We are looking for empty and clean 2 liter bottles with their caps for our science unit.
- Imagine a Day field trip forms are due on May 2nd. Please be sure to select the lunch item on the back of the form.
- Yearbook order forms were sent home on Tuesday. Order forms and payment are due by May 23rd.
- Please continue to look for books that belong in our classroom library. Thank you to those who have returned so many already!

Most importantly: Have a wonderful Spring Break! Safe travels for all of you who are getting out of Oconomowoc for a little while. If you are heading somewhere warm, please pack the warmth and sunshine in your suitcase to bring back home!  Hopefully it will start to feel like spring for us!

On Wednesday, the fourth graders will head to Silver Lake to work with the 6th graders. We have a fun filled morning including: sharing our writing pieces in small groups, a tour of the school, and an egg hunt. The fourth graders will even be able to see the fifth grade classrooms that will become their new home away from home next year!

Since we will be there for the majority of the morning, we thought it would be nice to enjoy our snack with the 6th graders. Our class is responsible for bringing in pretzels for this event. Please let me know if you would be willing to donate a bag of pretzels for our trip on Wednesday.

I have been doing a bit of reorganizing in our classroom and I have noticed that many of our beloved classroom books are missing. We are missing some books from our favorite series like Diary of a Wimpy Kid, The Lightning Thief, and Hatchet, just to name a few. If you happen to do a little spring cleaning around the house and find them please return them. Thank you! :)

Important Information!

I'm Baaaaaaack! :) Thank you for your continued support and patience while I was away on my
maternity leave. I thought about our class frequently and missed their smiling faces. Here is a picture of my peanut in her first Brewer's outfit, despite her Father's wishes of Cubs apparel...

 

We have numerous important events coming up:

WI Program:

All students need to have their costume brought to school in a bag, labeled with their name on, it by this Friday. If you have questions regarding costumes please let me know. Also, all girls need to bring in a dish rag that will be used as a prop during one of our songs.

The Wisconsin Program is at 2:00 on Tuesday, April 15th. Thank you for your help at home to memorize parts and prepare costumes.

Science Trip:

The Monday after spring break, April 28th, we are attending a new field trip to the Schlitz Audubon Nature Center. Thank you for turning in the permission slips promptly. If you have not paid online yet please do so as soon as possible.

We are also able to take two parent volunteers with us. If you are interested in coming with us please let me know. I will be taking volunteers on a first come first serve basis. The cost for adults to attend the trip is $10.

The most important piece of information about this trip: Students need to be to school no later than 8:10am on Monday, April 28th.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
