May is a very busy time of the year. We are finishing up teaching our units as best we can along with a lot of fun events that happen. We will be keeping busy for sure!!
Our first fun event is Surprise day. This is a fun day where I have been collecting letters and notes from you and keeping it a secret. On Surprise day, I put them all in a big read box and they get to wonder about it all day long! I give them hints throughout the day to see if they can guess what this box has to do with our Surprise day. At reader's workshop time we open the box and discover all the mail inside. They go to their reading spots and I deliver the mail! They are soooo excited to get all the mail from family and friends!! I have even had students cry because they felt so special! Remember to send them in by May 17 to:
Your Child's Name
Mrs. Gilde's Class
107 East Maple Street
McBain, Mi 49657
Remember that this is a secret!!! Please do not tell your child about it! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!
Fun to Be Fit is right around the corner as well. This is another exciting and fun day!! We will be running on the track this year, unless it rains like it did last year! It will be a blast to see all of us out there running for fitness!! If you would like to come and run with us, please feel free to do so. It will be from 1-1:30. I will be asking for some specific snacks later.
Special Person's Day will be May 31. This is another special day where your child will invite a special person in to our classroom to share some of the things that they have been reading and learning about this year. We will be making an invitation in class for your child to give to their special person to come.
In June we will be having track and field day and are trying to plan a field trip as well. The rest of the year has a lot of BIG events!! A great end to a great year!!
