A1 Turtles Update
Week 38 May 25th
This Week ...
Please read all of the information in the newsletter each week!!!! There is always important information included in the newsletter!
The best thing you could do to help your child be ready for second grade is to read and practice math facts. I will suggest different activities for students to keep up their skills for the summer. I will include those in my last newsletter.
The end of the year is fast approaching. Report cards will be sent home on email the last day or so of school.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend and Happy Memorial Day!
Lunch changes
We will be piloting a new lunch time schedule. Starting next Tuesday our students will have play time before they eat lunch. We are hoping that this will encourage children to eat more of their lunch instead of wanting to run off to play. Please be sure that children have a hearty snack to keep them going till lunch time. They may want to have a wipe in their lunch bag to clean off their hands after playing.
Bug time!
We had an amazing visit today from the Beetle Lady. Use the link to check out her website. She has a calendar that shows what local libraries she will be at with her bugs. She taught us all about bugs and other creatures. Students even got the change to hold various creatures! It was such a fun experience! Thank you to Anya Netchitailo for arranging this super cool experience for us.

Olympic Day
We are super excited for Olympic day on Wednesday, June 6th. To make this a success for all students, the Home and School Club really need your help! Here is a link to sign up https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090b4ba9a623aafe3-olympic
Epic
Epic is on online library for kids 12 and under. It is a great way to find books that are at the appropriate level. They can read independently or listen to a story. It is an engaging way to have kids continue their reading skills. I recommend using this as a resource this summer. There is a special code right now that Epic is offering for the summer which is 3 months for $3. The code for this special is summer18.
Volunteer Tea
We have been so lucky to have parents helping our class this year. Let us honor you at the volunteer breakfast on May 31st at 7:30 am.
Talker's Club
We have had an amazing year of Talker's Club. The kids have grown so much in the speaking skills! I am really proud of them! We are now finished with Talker's Club for the year.
