Vocabulary Parade

We have just finished reading Miss Alaineus: A Vocabulary Disaster by Debra Frasier. In the book, Sage, the main character, has misheard and misunderstood one of her teacher’s vocabulary words. Her error leads to a humbling catastrophe: a momentous tragedy in front of her whole class. She turns her disaster: an event bringing great misfortune, around at the end of the book by dressing up for the school vocabulary parade as Miss Alaineus.

Fourth grade students at Floral Street School will be having their own Vocabulary Parade this year. Students will present to the Leifer classroom the week of Monday, June 13th. Fourth graders will parade their hats and words on Friday, June 17th.  For some ideas from the author, please visit her website at: http://www.debrafrasier.com/pages/books-events/miss-alaineus/index.php.

A notice describing the event in further detail was sent home with your child today. Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have!

SELCO field trip

Hi there!

We are all happy for Day 1 of our PARCC testing to be over with. Phew! Hopefully the weather brightens up on Wednesday and Thursday so we can get outside after the long testing sessions.

Today your child is bringing home their permission slip for our SELCO field trip on May 13. This is a half day field trip. There is no fee required, but you must send back the permission slip. We are looking for these to be in by Friday, May 6.

Thanks!
Miss Leifer
