JA in a Day:

Junior Achievement will be coming next week.  Here is the schedule.  Grades K, 1, and 2 will have their sessions in their room on Tuesday, May 3rd.  Note: For 1st grade, block teachers will need to report to the rooms of their scheduled classes at the adjusted block time of 9:45-10:35.

Grades 3, 4, 5, and PEGS will have their sessions in their room on Wednesday, May 4th.   Note: For Grades 3, 4, and 5, block teachers will need to report to the rooms of their scheduled classes.   We will have an arrival station in the front lobby and student ambassadors will be bringing the volunteers to your class. 

MAP celebration on Thursday, May 5:

9-10 a.m. Grades K, 1, and 2

2-3 p.m.  Grades 3, 4, and 5

Teachers will get to celebrate with their students at this time as well.  I would ask that teachers spread themselves out around the playground.  Paula will be in the library and the door to go in and out of the library will be open if students want to come in to watch the movie.  During this time, students will have the choice to participate in the following activities:

• Kona ice snow cone-Food truck on the parking lot by the playground
• Free choice on playground
• hula hoop, jump ropes, chalk and bubble activities by the pavillion 
• Movie in the library

Class Placements:

For class placements, we will be trying a new process that will hopefully make things super smooth, easy, and stress free.  Please be sure to do the following 2 things BEFORE learning labs on Thursday, May 5th:

• Complete your yellow and green placement cards.
• Make a copy of this template and complete it with your current class list.  You can simply save this in your drive.  

You will want to bring the placement cards, any notes that will help you, and your laptop.  

Flyervision Shout Outs:
Any time you have a shout out, you can complete this form rather than emailing us.  I will put a link on our blog so that you can always easily find it.  We want to find ways to start celebrating more than just ALEKS or ExtraMath.

Parent Emails and Updates:

Please remember to include both Marco and I on parent emails you send home.  It helps us to keep in the loop on what is happening in your classrooms.  Thank you!
