Safety Trip to Universal- Some Notes From Ms. Parsons
1. The bus will leave KCC at 6:15 AM! Don't be late! :)
2. T-shirts will be passed out ASAP- Our order arrived without any adult smalls :( Even if they are throwing them on Friday morning, they will have them!
3. ALL students must ride the bus to the park. If your child will be leaving the park with a chaperone please write a note to me with a signature allowing the chaperone to sign them out and bring them home.
4. If you are coming to the park separately you can also sign your child out with myself or Mrs. Walker. Please find us before leaving. Everyone will meet back at Margaritaville at 3:45 PM for check-in and sign outs before boarding the bus.
5. The bus will arrive back to KCC around 5:45 - 6:00 PM. Please be at the school and ready to pick up your child then.

Miss Anderson's Language Arts Class
This week, 5th grade is continuing to read our novel study, Out of My Mind. We are beginning to think about topics we would like to research pertaining to our novel study. Some topics might include Stephen Hawking, communication boards, ASL, Cerebral Palsy… I’m looking forward to seeing what students can create!
Spelling was back for this week, but will be on hold next week due to DE testing in Math and Reading. As always remember to have your student read 20 minutes every evening.
Happy May!

In science this week, we will continue learning about natural disasters and the groups will present their projects on Wednesday. The students will create a display based on prior information collected to teach the class what they have learned. In social studies, we will continue our unit on the American Constitution. This week we will create a poster connecting the constitution to present day events. To make this a success we are in need of newspapers. If you subscribe please allow your student to bring them to school after you have finished reading them.

Helpful Links and Reminders
Take Home Batman the Hedgehog for the Weekend
Batman is looking to go on vacation with your child! I have some very interested children who would love to take him home.
If you do take him home, I ask that he not be left with other large pets or small children. A shelf is fine where he is out of harms way. He eats cat food and needs to have his bedding cleaned out daily. Your child would receive a Mini Batman Training Course before they take him home. He is easy to take care of. He will have so much fun in your home! Sign up today!
