Arts Week!

Dear Parents,


Thank you to the classroom coordinators and parent chaperones that made our field trip such a success!Thank you to Mrs. Copeland, Mrs. Cantu, and Mrs. McCloud, our 4A chaperones. From my classroom, 4B, I would like to extend a special thanks to our 4B chaperones:
Mrs. Neal, Ms. Andrews, and Dr. Beckwith. An extra thanks goes out to Dr. Beckwith for her hard work as 4B classroom coordinator for this field trip and throughout the year.

During our field trip 4A had the amazing opportunity to watch our Arizona house of representatives in session. We got to watch them call the session to order, give opening remarks, pass one law, and than discuss and amendment on the law they had passed. The students sat like scholars, silent and attentive. Afterward we went outside and the students discussed the insights they gained form what they had just seen. However, I was most proud of the students at the very beginning of the law-making session when we recited the Pledge of Allegiance. With no prompting from teachers all the students stood up, put their hands on their hearts, and said their Pledge of Allegiance loudly and clearly. All in all, we had an excellent time!

This week we have our annual arts week where we celebrate our students’ hard work throughout the year on visual and performing arts. On Wednesday, May 10, we have our drama club performance of “Fiddle on the Roof” in the MPR. The time is 6:00pm.

On Thursday, May 11 we have our fourth and fifth grade music concert at King of Kings church in Goodyear. Students should be at the church by 5:15 to practice. The concert starts at 6:00.

On Friday, May 12 we have our second annual art walk fundraiser! From 5:30-7:30, you can come and view your students’ masterpieces on our school’s walls during the art walk. You can give a donation to our fundraiser in order to take your student’s masterpiece home. You can bid at our silent auction on the excellent baskets donated for our fundraiser. (One of the baskets includes a Kindle tablet;  another includes a power board!)  There will be a dunk tank, a bouncy house, and craft projects. Snacks will be available to purchase from food trucks. All proceeds will go toward purchasing an American flag and flag pole for the school. Join us!

These are all the notes I have for you this week. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please send me a message through your Jupiter Ed account.


Sincerely,

Rebecca Wycklendt
