Tisch's Tidbits
ISTEP
We will be taking ISTEP the week of April 25 each morning. We will finish up on Monday, May 2. Please try to avoid appointments during this time if at all possible. Thank you!
Famous Hoosiers
Just a reminder that the three or more sources in which the students can read here at school, are due on Thursday. Please remember to sign off indicating you have read over them to make sure everything is appropriate and there is sufficient information. The children will need to have enough information to discuss history of the person, a bit of their life and why they are famous in detail. Some of the kids are noticing that if they choose a younger Hoosier, there aren't many books vs. a historical figure. That's ok! They may just need to dig a little deeper and look for things other than just finding a website. Also, start thinking about and looking for a costume to recreate the Famous Hoosier! Please let me know if you have any questions!
Please join us May 19 from 2:15-2:45 for the big event!
NWEA
Today is our final NWEA. The kids have done GREAT!
Flyers
Don't forget to sign up for the the Annual Golf Tournament if interested!
Field Trip
On May 25, we will be taking our final field trip to the Indiana Statehouse. We will eat in the classroom around 11:15 and students will need a sack lunch. We will leave around 11:45, returning to Union around 2:30. 2 parents may chaperone. If more than 2 parents express interest, I will place names in a hat and draw 2 names. Diplomatic-right? :)
Science
We are planning to test for unit 5 science test on Friday. Be on the lookout for the study guide!
‘60s Spirit Day Announcement
The Swinging ‘60s are back! Our next Spirit day is on Friday, April 15th. The ‘60s fashion trend is coming back baby and we have decided to bring the trend to Union Elementary! Please dress in paisley prints, bell-bottom jeans, tie-dye shirts, tunics, skirts/dresses, headbands, fringe shirts, and any bright colors. Also, we are asking for quarter donations to go towards Relay For Life! We can’t wait to see the groovy style from our student body! Thank you for showing school spirit.
Peace,
Your UE Student Council Members
Spring Spruce Up
