Today's Challenge: Where is Arnie Now?
During morning announcements of remote learning, we learned that Arnie has a flying truck that allows him to travel very quickly anywhere in the world! The following is a collage of the places he visited that students had to try and identify! How many do YOU know?
From the desk of: Counselor Mrs. Meumann
I’ve included a link that gives you some ideas on how to make a 2020 COVID 19 time capsule. It gives you ideas on things to include such as photos from this time, journal pages of what your days were like, and a page about what some of your favorite toys are at this time. There are lots of neat ideas here. Here is the link:

Important Announcements from Mrs. Anton!
Any 4th or 5th grade student who has their Music class Recorder at home, please return it next week.
Band and Chorus concerts that were scheduled for next week have been canceled. We are very sorry to not be able to put on our end-of-the-year concerts, but the safety of our students and families is more important.

UPSTART
Dear Families,
We have recently been told about a grant program in Illinois available to 4 year old children, the year prior to Kindergarten. UPSTART is a free in-home Kindergarten readiness program. UPSTART is done 15-20 minutes, 5 days at home with a parent/guardian and promotes a high level of parent/child engagement. UPSTART is in its 12th year and is in 15 states across the country. This can be used as a supplement to Fulton Blended Preschool and would be a great option for those 4 year olds who are put on our waitlist.
WHAT FAMILIES WILL RECEIVE
- A FREE Dell laptop for each family, software, and FREE internet (if you don't have it and qualify). If minimum usage is met, families will get to keep the computer after the program.
- Research-based, efficacious, award-winning reading and math/science instruction delivered to each child at home with a parent/guardian for 15-20 minutes daily.
- Weekly family support through a family education liaison to encourage the family through literacy knowledge, preparation for supporting a school-age child, and usage tracking. This personalized support is available in over 20 languages.
Illinois UPSTART will begin September 2020 and run until June 2021. Please see the attached flyer for information on how to register your child for this program. REGISTRATION IS ONLY OPEN UNTIL MAY 30TH, 2020.
