PRINCIPAL’S CORNER, Mrs.Kathy Puettmann

Thank you to the parents who attended our last parent coffee of the year on Wednesday. I truly appreciate your time and input! I shared with the parents that I am adding an Award Ceremony to the calendar in May. The ceremony will be on Thursday, May 16, at 1:30 pm in the Parish Center. The award ceremony will be a special time when each of our students is recognized for a unique gift they share with all of us. I hope you will join us to celebrate our students!

May is busy, and Field Day is set for Friday, May 17. I am asking for parent volunteers to take part and help with field day this year. Our theme is “Life is Better at the Beach,” and we are very excited about the events that we have planned. Please watch for a Sign Up Genius from Mrs. Cantareira if you would like to join us for the fun!.

Enjoy the summer-like weather this weekend!

This week, we had a Solar Eclipse. Our class family put our sunglasses on, and we saw the moon blocking the sun. It was great!

-Ezekiel George
This week, we had a new friend visit our class. His name was Jack. Faith and I were excited, and we waited by the window for him to arrive. It was fun spending time with our new friend.

Our highlights from this week:

“My highlight was reading class this week” – William Siebert

“My favorite thing this week was Tigger. Tigger is a service dog in training. He visited the Academy and came into the classroom to say hello. He seemed to like me!”

– Isaac West

“My favorite thing we did this week was going to the yearbook club. We did three different activities which were making a scrapbook, painting a rock for the garden, and painting a flower for the auction project.”

– Devon Mueller

“This week was meeting Tigger the service dog in training.

He was sweet, gentle, and kind.”

– Eva Johns

What we learned: 

This week, I learned about the extinction of the Dodo bird and how the solar eclipse works.”

– William Siebert

“I really enjoyed learning about the tundra, there are so many types of tundra, the climate and land stuff is cool and there is a surprising amount of animals.”

– Isaac West 

“My other favorite was the Oreo moons we made in science.” – Devon Mueller

“This week I learned about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln a fun fact is Abraham Lincoln was the tallest President.”

– Eva Johns 

 

Field Trip on Tuesday

This week in history, we continued learning about the US Constitution. We learned about the concept of federalism and talked about the last three articles of the Constitution that discuss the amendment process, the Supremacy Clause, and the process for ratifying the Constitution.

This week in ELA we explored the writing styles of Nathaniel Hawthorne with his short stories “The Golden Touch” and “Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment”. We learned that his Puritan upbringing had a major influence on the moral lessons found within both of his tales. Next week we will be looking at a variety of pieces by Emily Dickinson.

We wrapped up our unit on Terrestrial Biomes this week in Environmental Science,  as we learned all about the driest biomes on the planet, the Tundra, and the Desert. We will be finishing Chapter Five over the next two weeks as we cover the Aquatic Biomes. Students will be receiving their study guides for the end-of-the-year exam by the end of the month! Group 3 will be working on an end-of-the-year project- be on the lookout for more details soon!!!

This week in history, we continued learning about the American Revolution. We talked about George Washington’s role in leading the colonists to victory, and Benjamin Franklin’s role as the first Postmaster General, and we started learning about Thomas Paine’s Common Sense.
