3 Quarter Celebration!

This Thursday we will have a picnic celebration for students who have been beginning with the end in mind. This quarter we have been awarding student points for turning in their weekly fluency and homework packets. Those students who have enough points will be able to participate in the celebration! 

If you would like to donate juice or a special snack to share, please send them in with your child at any time throughout the week. 

Your child may bring in a blanket or a towel to lay on and a fun game of their choice (please no electronics). 

Can't wait!


We have early release on Friday & Saturday school this week. 

Report cards will go home the first Monday that we are back in school. 

Quarter 3, Week 8

If you haven't paid for your child's field trip...

Field Trip Payment:  You can make your fieldtrip (see details below) payment
online at http://osp.osmsinc.com/wakenc/default.aspx. Once you are on the home page, go to the box on the left-hand side, choose "Elementary School", then scroll down to find our school (Lake Myra) and click on the program (High Tech-High Touch/Science Fieldtrips-Ybarra, Michelle). You can also pay by cash or make a check payable to Lake Myra

Make-Up Days:

Our next snow/ice "Saturday" make-up day is Apr. 26th. The school day starts at 9:15 and ends at 12:45. Breakfast nor lunch will be served, but we will have a time for snack. We are also scheduled to have a make-up day on Saturday, May 3rd.


Wake County school leaders decided that makeup time for the school days missed due to inclement weather on February 12-14, 2014, will require only the cancellation of Early Release on Friday, March 7.

Events:

March 28-Early Release

March 31- Track out

Spring Photos:

Please return your child's school portraits if you are not interested in purchasing them. If you would like to keep them, you can purchase online or send money via cash or check to the school. If you do not want them, and you do not bring them back they will charge you for ALL the photos. 

Our group photo did not come in yet. 

Data Notebooks and Math Talk

We have been tracking our math, spelling and fluency data all year. Every week your child sets a goal for math sprints. This is my first year implementing data notebooks and they work! Students love seeing their progress and growth! It also makes them in charge of their learning.

We are learning how to decompose three digit numbers. Here are students working on the expanded form method. They rocked it!

Pictures from Enterprise Day

Book Trailers

Students have had a blast creating book trailers for Literacy Week here at Lake Myra.  Students worked together, summarized a story, and created a trailer.  Check out their awesome work!

Quarter 3, Week ? Day 97

This week:

Homework: 

Last week's homework will be due on Monday and a new homework packet will be given on Monday too. 

There will not be a spelling test for last week's words. 

Feb. 17th-Monday

Our class will distribute Valentine Day cards and/or small treats on Monday, Feb. 17th. There won't be a class list of names distributed as it is easier and much more faster to pass out cards that are "nameless." There is a total of 23 students in our class.


Feb 18th- Tuesday

Picture day-Your child should have brought a slip home from their mailbox if you would like to purchase photos. If not, that means they did not grab their mail before leaving school. They're responsible for checking their mailbox every day before dismissal. 

Enterprise Day- 23 products are due. Remember this is a low cost item or free items. This is all about creativity and innovation. 

Valentine's Day

I hope everyone enjoyed their snow days...again! 

Many parents have emailed me about Valentines day, and I apologize for not getting this information out sooner. I think I enjoyed the snow days too much. 

Please send in 23 blank Valentines with your child's name on it. I think it will be so much easier to pass them out and much quicker too. If we have school tomorrow (Saturday) then bring them then, or we will celebrate on Monday. 

I will also send a notice home to reschedule conferences that were missed because of the snow days, the other conferences schedule are still in effect. 

Thanks for your patience!
