Friday Note----Sorry I am late posting this!!!
Events of the Week: This week we
continued our author study on Laura Numeroff.
- Language Workshop: We read more “If
You Give” books, including If You Give a Pig a Pancake, If
You Give a Moose a Muffin, and If You Give a Dog a Donut. We continued to discuss story elements,
cause and effect, and retelling events in order. Our class focused on If You Give a Pig
a Pancake. We wrote about the
book and did a fun art project. Be
sure to check these out in our hallway!
- Writing Workshop: We continued our series
of events writing. We wrote about
getting ready to come to school each day.
First, the students helped me to write about how I get ready and
come to school. Then, the students
each wrote about how they each get ready in the mornings. We are focusing on putting the events in
the correct order and making sure our writing makes sense.
- Reading Workshop: Students are working
daily in Literacy Centers. While
students are working independently, I am having each student read to me independently
to determine their end of year reading level.
- Word Study: This week we focused
on prefixes and suffixes. We
learned about how these can change the meaning of a word. We added re- and un- to the beginning of
words and added –s, -ed-, and –ing to the ending of words.
- Math: We began a unit on solid figures (cylinder, cone, cube, and
sphere). The students enjoyed
learning about these new shapes and finding them in our classroom.

Attention Parents:
We are experiencing exciting times in the way of expansion
in student activities and athletics at Clever Schools. If you haven’t
been by to see our newly expanded sports complex on the High School campus, you
need to check it out! However as we experience this growth, we have
growing pains in the area of transportation. We are in desperate need of
bus drivers to transport students to away games, competitions, etc. If
you have any interest in driving a bus, an application can be found online at
the following link or can be picked up in the Central Office. For more
information contact John Cackley at 417-221-7812.
Summer School
We
are “Gearing Up” for summer school! Information
will be coming home soon!

Have a great weekend!!

Cox Care Mobile
The Cox Care Mobile
will be at Clever schools on Tuesday, May 19, 2015. This will be the last
regular scheduled visit for the school year. The Care Mobile is a medical
office on wheels that provides several services at no cost. Your child
can be seen by a Nurse Practitioner for a sports physical, preschool physical,
well check-up, or sick visit. Immunizations are available for those that
meet certain criteria. You may call your school nurse to set up an
appointment and to receive the necessary paperwork.
