May 2018 News

I hope you have heard some exciting facts about our Solar System! Students have been working hard and can’t wait to share their work with you at our annual Student Showcase Open House! Open House is Monday, May 7 from 4:00-6:00 pm. Plan on being on campus for about 30 minutes to visit the classroom and a few other locations on our learning tour. You will go home with some of your child’s work from this year. Parking will be limited! The Book Fair will be open in the library, as well.

Our last Language Arts unit will be learning about Light and Sound. In math, we are focusing on accuracy and fluency of adding numbers,and solving word problems in a variety of ways. Our students are doing great with the weekly math assessments to increase their memorization of adding two numbers between 1-20. They have 4 seconds per problem to solve each equation. Please practice math facts at home with card games, writing problems down to solve, math pages, and asking math facts questions.

Have heard about the upcoming DPS Solar Parking Lot project? This means that the front parking lot will be used by more Staff members, when we all usually use the back parking lot. Please plan accordingly if you have ever have the need to park on campus through the rest of the school year.

Our field trip is on Thursday, May 17th to the Safari Park in Escondido! Thank you to all the parents who signed up to be chaperones. We will be sending out information closer to the field trip date.
