Mrs. Laudick's Super Stars

Fantastic Year!

 Dear Parents,

        I want to thank each of you for helping to make this year a wonderful learning experience for the students and myself. Each child is very special and I will always remember their individual strengths and precious personalities.  Thank you for the many words of kindess and gifts that you have given me this year.  I wish the best for you and your children. 

                        Love,

                        Mrs. Laudick

Cursive writing

 

Dear Parents,

     The students have been very excited about practicing their cursive handwriting at school this week.  In their STAR binder is a sheet which shows each cursive letter.  Please encourage your child to practice this new skill at home.  Also, challenge them to write a short narrative piece and then have them publish it in their best cursive writing.    

Other news:  Our student of the month is Anna.  She was selected because she consistently chooses to do her best on all assignments.  Congratulations on setting a great example.       

Student Registration Form

Dear Parents,

     Please check your child's Thursday folder tonight because among all of those other papers is the "Student Registration Form."  This form needs to be updated and sent back to me by Friday, May 1st.  If you want to send it in sooner, that would be great.

      I want to thank all of you for making sure that your child arrived to school on time and was ready to take the CRCT.  We have had perfect attendance thus far!  Testing will continue through Monday. If you have any questions, please send me an e-mail.

     Sincerely,

     Mrs. Laudick

Heroes of our Democracy Wax Museum

    Over the past several weeks, the students have been using a variety of resources to learn about nine of our "Heroes of Democracy."   After much preparation, the students successfully demonstrated their knowledge of these heroes by presenting a wax museum.  Below are pictures of the students dressed up as their hero.

Measurement Project

Dear Parents,

      I truly enjoyed watching your students "proudly" present their measuring projects today.  It was obvious that the children put a lot of thought and effort into this assignment.  I am glad to report that no one missed the deadline and the work was of high quality. 

      Below are some pictures of the assignment. Although I only have enough space to display a small portion of the posters, I am sure that your child will be able to identify his or her work.
