It’s going to be a short week. We will not have any more tests before Easter break, which starts on Holy Thursday. I hope that you all have an enjoyable Easter break. I have encouraged the kids to go to some extra Easter celebrations during the break….i.e. – Holy Thursday, Stations of the Cross, the Easter Vigil mass. I remember when I was young and my parents only took me to the Easter mass. I didn’t know what I was missing until I grew up and experienced some of the extra special celebrations that were offered.
I still have many children in my math group who are struggling. We have reviewed and reviewed and some concepts are just not sticking. I will be offering tutoring this summer to anybody who was in 6th grade this year to help prepare them for 7th grade math. I will be concentrating on concepts that the kids are still not totally understanding. The tutoring will be an hour, one morning a week in my classroom. That way I can use the Smartboard and whiteboards. I am thinking of it being on a Tues., Wed. or Thursday from 9 – 10 or 10 – 11. I will be sending out a letter about this soon if you want to sign your child up. If I have too many, I will probably break them into two groups of an hour each. Be looking for more information or you can email or call me also.
The kids all got to participate in a First Aid class during PE time with a Red Cross instructor. They learned how to treat wounds, do the Heimlech Maneuver, and when to call 911. They really enjoyed the presentation and it will be very helpful, especially if they are babysitting in the future.
