Famous Hoosiers
We have been working hard reading about our Hoosiers and completing our research. Below you will find the link to complete for those attending the Famous Hoosiers Museum on Friday, May 12. ALL visitors must sign up on the form and have a background check on file before arriving. The deadline is Tuesday, May 9. We are SO excited to see you at this special event!!
We will begin our dress rehearsals tomorrow for their presentation on Friday. I have a sign up in the class and some would like to do their presentation tomorrow. Please have them continue practicing at home as we have a pretty busy week. I've told the kids that if they mess up or forget, to not worry about it! Nobody will know and to just keep going. :) Once the students bring their costume, they will leave it here at school.
On Friday, the doors open at 2:15. My class can be found either in our classroom or in the pod. All of the fourth graders will be in their position. Just touch the button on the floor and away they will go! After they are done, they will go back into position and you can visit another Hoosier.
Middle School Bound!
It won't be long until we head to the middle school for one final field trip. During this visit, the students will have an opportunity to practice opening a locker. I share this with you because one of the biggest causes of stress is the dreaded lock. What is my combination? Which way do I turn the dial? What was the combination again? It is not uncommon for there to be tears when trying to access the lockers. One of the things you can do at home to help prepare your kiddo is to buy two dial locks, lock them together and then have a lock off with your child. Whoever unlocks their lock first wins! This is a fun way to practice so when school hits and the minutes are ticking for the bell, unlocking the locker will be a breeze.
