Dear Parents,
As I'm sure you heard, we had a lot of fun at our 4A ice cream party. This long overdue bash was to congratulate 4A students on being the second class to fully fund their classroom art and also served as an end of year party. Thank you to everyone who helped with this event. First, a huge thank you to Mrs. Walters and Mr. Conklin, who coordinated to event. Mrs. Walters brought ice cream, set up the party, monitored, and cleaned up! Next, thank you to Ms. Lipmann, who helped set up, serve ice cream, run games, and clean up! Thank you to Mrs. Colberg, who helped supervise and run games. Last but not least, thank you to all the families who donated ice cream toppings. They were scrumptious!
After a low-key week, we now have a busy week full of school
events. We have music concerts, the drama club play, and our first annual art
walk fundraiser!
On Wednesday of this week, our drama club students will
present their first play, “The Firebird.” Based on a Russian folktale, it is
being directed by Mr. Ohbayashi and Mr. Elefson, and many of the actors are
fourth grade students. The show starts at 5:00pm in the MPR, and everyone is
welcome to attend. There is no charge for admission, and attendance is not
required of any of the students. However, As many of the actors are fourth
graders, it will be a lot of fun for the students to see their friends in the
play, and we certainly encourage them to attend.
Thursday is our 4th-5th grade spring music concert.
Performing in this concert is mandatory for fourth grade students, and it is
part of their final music grade. The concert is at King of Kings Church in
Goodyear. There is a dress rehearsal beforehand. Please have your students at
the church in concert attire by 5:00pm so they can start rehearsing. At the
same time, please plan on waiting in the gathering space outside the actual
church so the students can have privacy for their rehearsal. Letters regarding
dress code were sent home in students homework folders last week. Any questions
about concert dress or other details can be directed toward our music teacher,
Miss Sassaman. You can email her at msassaman@archwaytriviumeast.org.
Friday is our first annual art walk! We are raising money
for beautiful art to decorate the hallways outside our classrooms. There will
be food vendors, a bouncy house, and a dunk tank with teachers inside! There
will be supervised arts and crafts projects for kids to work on while parents
bid on our silent auction of themed baskets and view the art gallery of art
that will be purchase with the funds raised by the auction. There will also be
displays of the best student artwork in the hallways. All in all, it should be
a great time, and we hope to see all of you there!
On that note, the 4A class silent auction basket is themed “A
Basket Full of Dates!” It will be filled with gift cards and treats for fun
nights out for parents. If you would like to donate to the basket, please contact
our lovely 4A class parent, Mrs. Walters. You can email her at lwalters15@cox.net.
As for classes, we will continue to work on equivalent
fractions and simplifying fractions in math class. In math lab we will continue
to work on decimals. In science class we will keep studying the atmosphere and
the water cycle.
These are all the notes I have for you this week. Please
feel free to email me with any questions, comments, or concerns.
Sincerely,
Miss Wycklendt
