Dear Parents,
We started our day
today with our “barricade” lock down drill.
Before it was actually called, we discussed it and then prayed. The firsties did a great job! The purpose is to do our best to barricade
the door so that anyone that gets in would be distracted enough so that we
could escape out of the outside door.
Mrs Klauer used her key to open the door and the firsties were
absolutely still and quiet….in fact she didn’t even know where we were at
first! It is SO awful that we even have
to discuss, let alone practice this kind of drill, but the reality is that we
have to.

Did you get the
fast direct message this morning, about my error? I apologize for the mix-up! The date that we are going to the Midland
Humane Society is Tuesday, June 5th.
Please send in permission slips by this Friday (May 25th). Thank you!
If your firstie
has a summer birthday and you would like to send in a treat to celebrate please
let me know! I would prefer to space it
out a little so that we aren’t having lots and lots of treats during that last
week of school (And really, that is partly for my sanity too!).

Have you noticed
that we are into geometry in Math? We
have been reviewing and exploring “plane shapes” (trapezoid (ask your firstie
about that one!), square, rectangle, circle, hexagon, rhombus (ask your firstie
how I described it to them), and triangle. We have spent some time making pictures too
(using the shapes)! Next up will be
solid figures (sphere, cube, rectangular prism, etc….).

A few weeks ago
we had a couple of guests…I am certain
that you heard about it (and I am sure that you heard more about one than the
other….)! My parents were here and my
dad brought Josie in for a visit and then read a few books to the class (Ask
your firstie was a palindrome is….) (If they don’t remember, it is a word,
phrase, or sequence that is the same backwards and forward. We have a student in our class!).
Tomorrow is the
last day that we are going to check out books in the school library. Please make sure that your firstie returns
their books.
Have a blessed
night!
Miss Gallagher
