A lot of fun and a lot pictures!

We have evidence of a lot of fun had by all this week. Please scroll through our pictures from our field trip to Lebeda, our last Marion Way assembly, and our end of the year goal treat! 

Today in brown envelopes you will find information about your child's Iowa Assessment scores. There is a bright green letter attached. As this is a new test, Mrs. Clark and I are trying to answer a lot of questions as well. But if there is something you need help understanding, please do not be afraid to ask one of us!

Events next week: 
5/28 -No School
5/30 – Emerson Beach Party/  Lunch – Deli sandwich, carrots, apple (sack lunch)

5/31 Last Day of School/
Lunch – Hot dog, green beans, oranges

Math- This week, we have filled our math time with a lot of fun events. We have worked on key fact mastery and finished up our year end assessments. 

Reading-  This week we finished our novel Stone Fox. We completed a comprehension packet, and as part of our goal reward we watched the movie and made comparisons to the book while enjoying a special treat!  When I have 24 kids that all love doughnuts and mustaches- I just had to incorporate the two! :)

 

Social Studies- Mrs. Clark reviewed different material covered this year. The last couple days she has been introducing the students to different regions and states making up the United States of America.

Writing- We are finishing up our work on country reports. Either tomorrow or Monday, your child will present their materials to the class and take them home.

Our Field Trip to Lebeda and Emcom Advertising
























 Our Last Marion Way Assembly
We started off by having a dance party in the hallway to "Celebration," then formed a human tunnel for all the other kids and staff of Emerson to make their way through to the gym. During the assembly, Girl Scouts presented some special gifts to Mr. Meth, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Randall, and Mrs. Weisinger, teachers expressed what they enjoyed about the Marion Way, and certificates were handed out to students being recognized for being respectful. We ended the assembly decorating the playground with things we liked about The Marion Way.


















 

Have a great Memorial Day weekend/ and last week!
