Hesston reminders for next Friday

May 15 is our big trip to Hesston Train Museum. We will leave Lincoln at

8:45 ET for the 45 minute bus ride.  There we will rotate through 6 different

activities, including a few train rides and learning about steam engines.

Students will need a sack lunch for this field trip.  School lunches have been

ordered.  Don’t forget to send a lunch for your child if you are not getting a

school lunch.  We ask that anything you send is disposable, as we do not want

any lunch boxes or containers left behind.   Also send your student with a labeled

disposable bottle of water.  Please dress your student in their Laps for Lincoln

shirts.  Make sure to put sunscreen on them before school.  We also will not need

them to bring their backpack to school that morning. We look forward to this

fun-filled learning adventure with you and your child!

Volunteers, your child brought home a letter for you in their folders on Friday.

Please take a look for it. Volunteer letter

Thank you for your continued support,

ELA 

We continued learning about trees this week. We learned

that trees provide food and shelter for animals.  We

specifically learned about the Paper Birch, Live Oak, and

Coastal Redwood trees.  We finished our Skills Block by

reviewing all of the fizzle words and welded sounds.  We

learned to read the words say, day and again.  

Math 

This week we answered mathematical questions about the

community, identified numbers and quantities in the

environment, and practiced counting and writhing

numbers to 50.

P2:  Perseverance

Perseverance is an individual’s ability to spend long

periods of time devoted to a single goal or set of goals.

People demonstrating high levels of perseverance are

able to handle significant, sometimes repeated, setbacks

in pursuit of goals.

 

Science:  Animal Needs: 

Students will use observations to understand the basic

needs of animals. Students will explore how animals

need things to eat and a safe place to live, and also how

animals can change their environments to meet those needs.
