PRo-D Day on Friday

Hello parents!

I had forgotten that Friday, April 26, is a Pro-D day!  So, the students’ spelling test will be on Thursday and there will be no school on Friday.

Blessings!

Blue Heron Reserve Field Trip this coming Wednesday (April 24)!

We are getting very excited for our trip to the Blue Heron Reserve!!!  We have been studying Pond Habitats and are hoping we get to see many of creatures that live above and under the water!

Please dress your child for the weather as we will be outside for most of the field trip!  If you have any concerns or questions please feel free to email me at jroorda@highroadacademy.com.

Spelling words for the week of April 22nd

Happy weekend everyone!  Hope you enjoy some wonderful sunshine!

Here are the spelling words for the coming week:

Grade 1: gave, give, free, back, thing, roll, stone, foot, dance, lift

Grade 2: line, post, arm, skin, ship, here, sun, age, cover, mine

Bonus words: spell, base, bake, any, many

Thank you parents for spending time with your child practicing the words for the week.  I noticed quite an improvement in many of the students’ spelling tests today!

Come check out our new Spring poetry art!

Your children have been busy making art and learning how to write an acrostic poem!  I just put them up on the hall bulletin board so come on in and take a look!

Thank you to the wonderful grandparents and visitors that came today!

We had a wonderful afternoon filled with many activities shared together with some loving grandparents and other special visitors!  Thank you to all the grandparents and visitors who took time out of their day to make some very special memories with their grandchildren, neighbors and little friends.  I would say it was a roaring success!

Parent Volunteers

Hello wonderful parents!  I am starting a daily reading program in our classroom and I am looking for a few parent volunteers who would like to help our students with their reading.  We would be doing rotations from 10:30am – 12pm and any help would be appreciated.  It’s a great way to see and support all the learning that’s going on in our classroom!

You can email me at jroorda@highroadacademy.com if you are interested!
