PARENT HANDWRITING WORKSHOP
Helping Your Child with Handwriting Skills Parent Workshop
You are invited to attend a free handwriting training provided by our occupational therapist. This training will provide ways to improve your child’s handwriting skills this summer. Join us on May 10th in the MMA Library from 4:30 until 6:30 pm.
I would strongly encourage you to attend this workshop. It is advertised in our weekly newsletter. You can find the registration form in that newsletter found here.
PLEASE READ THE NEWSLETTER FOR IMPORTANT END OF YEAR ANNOUNCEMENTS AND DATES.
Reading Assessments
I was just informed that our end of year reading assessments will begin tomorrow morning. This is a wonderful time to celebrate all of their hard work! Our reading specialists have asked us to remind you to make certain your child gets a good night rest and a hearty breakfast. If you have any questions, please let me know.
Ms. Dixie
I wanted to let everyone know that we have a permanent sub, Ms. Dixie, working within our classroom. We are so grateful to have her and her talents. She has been a valuable asset here at MMA, as a substitute teacher, and we are so fortunate she has agreed to stay with our classroom community until the end of this year. She has been with us all week and the students love her and have welcomed her into their community.
Important Reminders
Please remember that Friday, April 20th is our field trip to the Ogden Botanical Garden. Do not bring students to school this day. If for any reason you are not able to arrange a ride for your child, please let me know, ASAP. The details of this field experience can be found here.
Also, level 3 students have SAGE testing on Monday morning. This will be the writing portion of the test. Encourage them to do their best, get a good night sleep, and have a good breakfast.
We had a wonderful week back and the students did a great job transitioning back into work after the break. They are an amazing little community and they are really coming together to help support one another in Ms. Kay’s absence. I sent home their work charts from this week and I would encourage you to have a conversation with your child about the wonderful work they are completing. Most were excited to share how hard they worked. Next week I will send home their work chart once again. If I have concerns, I will attach a follow-up letter for you to sign and return. My hope is to maintain or improve their current work habits as we head into our final weeks of school.
As always, if you have questions or concerns, please let me know.
Have a Wonderful Spring Break
Have a wonderful spring break. We will see you back in class on Monday, April 9th.

Pictures Please
Hi, if you have any pictures from our field trips this year, please send them to me asap. We would love to include them in our yearbook.
Ms. Kay’s Last Day
I wanted to let everyone know that tomorrow will be Ms. Kay’s last day. She has found a position that is a better fit for her needs. I will be formally telling the students tomorrow morning. Ms. Kay has been instrumental in helping support our reading within the classroom and we will miss her and her support. We are currently in the process of finding a new member to support our classroom community. During this time, if you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
Yearbook Pictures
We are currently seeking class snapshots for the yearbook. If you have taken any pictures from our field trips or class events, please send them to me via email. I appreciate your help.
