Spring Break Homework

We had a great day on Wednesday! Thank you so much for sending dishes for our party. We had some much fun and had great food!

I sent homework home in the home files for Spring Break. There are two parts. One is a journal. There are five pages. This is just for your student to journal five days from break. They just need to write about what they did that day. The second part is 6 pages of Math. I realized today that the three addition and subtraction pages in the back are a little too hard for them. I had already pre-made them and I noticed right at the end of the day today. So, for those three pages, you can either have them not do it, or have them try and if they can’t it’s no big deal. It will give them practice for what they will learn when we come back.

Also, if you could clean out their backpacks and their files over the break of any old papers that would be great. 

Also, we are running low on pencils so if you could send a box of pencils and one eraser when we come back, that would be great to help us through the rest of the year.

Thank you so much! Have a great restful Spring Break!

A few photos of us on Egypt Day!

This Week: Egypt Day and Field Trip

Reminder that tomorrow is the trip to Plein Air.

Please remember to send your student in proper uniform. Also, please send an extra shirt that you don't care about if it get's paint on it.

Also, please remember to send healthy food and snacks. A trip is just like any other day and the school policies still need to be followed. Also, please send your student's regular backpack and files to school just as usual. Thank you.


Also, on Wednesday, we are celebrating Egypt Day. We will do fun Egypt related activities. Your student can come dressed out of uniform if they are dressed in Egypt clothing. This means they can wear traditional Egyptian clothes, like a Galabaya or they can dress in Egypt's colors.

We will also have a dish party in class. Please send traditional Egyptian dishes such as fuul, tameyya, koshary, etc. The Arabic staff sent home a note about this as well. Please only send enough food for our class. Keep in mind that most everyone will send a dish so there will be a lot of food for the students to share. We don't want to have too much extra food that may go to waste.

Thank you for all of your help and cooperation to make our Egypt Day a success!

Field Trip - April 22nd

Yesterday the field trip permission slip forms were sent home.

Next Monday, April 22, we are going to Plein Air. The cost is 65le. The permission slip and fee needs to be returned to school by this Wednesday, April 17.

Also, for the trip, students need to wear the school uniform, but please send an extra t-shirt that will be ok for the student to paint in. We will be doing different activities, including painting and planting so we may get dirty. So please send a shirt that you don't mind if they get paint or dirt on.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Homework

Homework for the week is posted.

Also, some students have said that when they checked the blog, the homework wasn't there. We noticed that there was a problem with the blog if you check it from an Ipad or a tablet. You need to check the homework page from a computer or laptop.

Thank you!
 

Announcements

I had a few meetings today so I was unable to grade the homework for last week. I will grade last week's and this week's together next Sunday. I also did not have time to print new behavior charts for this week, so tomorrow we will color it for today and tomorrow. I apologize for the inconvenience.

I was able to get up the new homework and make a monthly lay out. I left the math off of some days because I don't know what chapter we will be working on next, but I should have it planned very soon and I will change the homework calendar as soon as I know.

New Schedule

I have updated the schedule tab to show the new schedule with the Swimming changes.

Swimming Reminder

Swimming classes went very well.  

Please remember  to:

Label all students belongings

Swimming caps (for boys and girls) are mandatory

Swimming floaters are mandatory.

Students will not be allowed in the pool without the previous items.

Lunch Procedure Reminder

We have been having some problems with the buying lunch procedures. Here is some information to help you.

Snack costs 7le
Lunch costs 20le
Small Water Bottle 3le

You may not send cash, you must come to the accounting office to purchase coupons and only send coupons to school.

There are no choices for the students. They either choose to order snack or lunch and they get whatever the cafeteria has on the menu for that day. This is different from the procedures in the upper grades. But KG - G2 do not get to choose different things to order.

If your student is not buying, please make sure to send enough food for them to eat at snack AND at lunch. Many kids are running out of food after eating at snack and then they have no food for lunch and complain about being hungry. Now that the weather is getting hotter and with the student swimming their appetites will be larger. Please send enough food so that your child may be focused on learning in the classroom rather than on being hungry.

Thank you for your cooperation.
