Unit Notes
Unit A
Thank you to the volunteers that helped on the field trip, without you we wouldn’t have had such a successful day! See you tomorrow at Fun Day!
Unit B
We are ready to begin MAP testing for 3rd graders! This can be an exciting yet scary time. Please help your child get lots of sleep and eat a hearty breakfast each day. We want to stress the importance of body and mind relaxation techniques when they feel overwhelmed. We want everyone to do their best each day and keep a positive attitude. Thank you to all who have signed up to bring in snacks. There are a few spots left. Here is the link in case anyone else would like to help: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080D4DA4A92FA0FE3-48984874-unit
Unit C
Unit C families, Unit C students sold more than $1000 in Big Drawing Tickets before the Golden Ticket deadline so we will be celebrating with a fun day of our own on Wednesday, May 22. We will have some fun choices for students in the morning and a picnic lunch then some more fun in the afternoon but we’re keeping that a surprise for now. If you would be willing to join us from 8:45-11:30 to help with art projects or outdoor games, please email Mrs. Sandstedt at Lsandstedt@cpsk12.org as soon as you can. If you can help us grill hotdogs for lunch (probably 10:00-12:00), please email Mr. Gray at agray@cpsk12.org as soon as you can. We would love to have you join us to celebrate the great year Unit C has had!
Specialist News
We have had some truly wonderful music making moments in March and April so far! It is so wonderful to see the growth Ridgeway musicians have made this school year! Unit C has done a lot of musical reading work and is now getting to enjoy some much deserved “play time”. We’ve been playing a lot of games, using ukuleles and just having a great time together. Unit B has been working really hard on their independence by doing ostinatos and even reading some part work! They are growing to be very strong musicians indeed! Unit A has been able to do some work recently on our xylophones while we are exploring the highs and lows of pitch.
As we approach MAP testing music class will be taking the good weather opportunities to have class outside so as to limit our noise level for test takers. Please help your musician remember to dress appropriately for outdoor music (layers, shoes and water bottles).
Sing-cerely,
Ms. Meeds
