We have our last field event practice Monday afternoon. The track meet takes place all day Wednesday. The zone track team will be picked that evening and the permission slips sent home on Thursday. It is a very tight turn around as there is no school on Friday OR Monday so the slips have to come back on the Tuesday. Our zone track meet is up at TCC on Wednesday, May 22 (except for the 1500s....they are held at Parkcrest on Thursday, May 16). If your child is a 200 m runner, they will need to have a ride up to TCC as the bus will not arrive until after the 200 m runners are marshaled. In fact, it is much better all around if most students have rides up to TCC. It is a great day to spend with your child and, for my grade 6s, their last elementary track meet (although they may get to go with Brock next year). The districts are on May 29.
This week also has 'shots' on Monday and a Professional Development day on Friday so before you know it.....the long weekend will be upon us. Whew! Just a heads up that I am heading to a conference on May 23 so will be away on that Thursday afternoon and all day Friday (May 24).
We are almost done our novel in L.A. (then we will begin poetry in earnest). In math we are working on motion geometry (translations, reflections, and rotations). For HACE we have been looking at 'nutrition'. For Fine Arts we are learning how to play the Boomwhackers (yep....their real name) and for P.E. it has been all about track and field.
Let's take a look at this week:
Monday, May 13 - grade 6 immunizations, final T & F rotation
Tuesday, May 14 -
Wednesday, May 15 - Track Meet all day
