May the fourth be with you ... to last until June 21st!
I have found this to be the most difficult time for both students and teachers. The last stretch...the last few lessons...the last few "take a breath you got this" statements. The last few circle times, OT projects, speech circles, and art projects. But - I have faith that this too shall pass. We will survive.
This week May 1 - 5 is staff appreciation week. The ladies in here work very hard every day making sure your child has the best day here. A little note of appreciation to them would make their week. It is so often they get overlooked and I know I do NOT give them the credit they deserve. These ladies are so committed to these students. It amazes me every single day. A big thank you to them, Ms. Campbell, Ms. Rowe, Ms. Scott, Ms. Beech, Ms. Kitchin and Ms. Herman.
There is a lot going on in May.
May 14th - Mother's Day
May 25th - Track and Field day at Beaverton High School
Cold lunch required! Watch backpacks for permission slips.
May 26 and 29 - No school - Memorial Day weekend
I have let the student know today that I will be out the week of May 15. I will continue talking about it with them. I will be sending short videos to the kids of my travels and "healthy activities"!
The units of study this month are healthy foods, healthy activities, healthy attitudes, polar habitat, mother's day, and reviewing the who, what, where, why questions.
I am planning many different cooking activities this month all around the ideas of healthy choices and things the kids can make independently. Watch the communication books for a wish list of things we may need.
That may be all the news for now. As always, if you have questions or concerns, please email, call, or write.
