April 2-6

I hope you had an enjoyable spring break, despite the weather! It is always nice to have time with family but good to get back on a schedule as well. It is hard to believe that we only have 6 weeks left of school!

We will hit the ground running this week. We have so much to accomplish and so little time. I am very pleased with the students reading fluency and am excited to be able to go beyond our fluency drills this last quarter and enjoy some of our literature in more depth. I am planning on having our class play based on our story "The Great Ball Game". I have it scheduled for Thursday, May 12th. Times will be announced once I have confirmed Kindergarten's availability. I always love to invite them to this play! This is a great opportunity for the children to practice reading with expression and performing in front of others.

I am still needing parent volunteers to help with those who need a little extra help these last few weeks. I also have a few students that need more challenge in both reading and math, but I am unable to provide this without some adult assistance. If you can help in the classroom once a week it would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you are available.

The Middleton School District School Board Members and District Administration would like an opportunity to answer any questions regarding our supplemental levy election on May 15, 2012. We have added the Supplemental Levy Financial presentation on the left sidebar on the Middleton School District main homepage (http://www.msd134.org/). Please send any additional questions and comments to Mrs. Berg.
