Thank You!!!

I cannot thank you all enough for the wonderful Teacher Appreciation week! I so enjoyed the outpouring of love through flowers, notes, treats, and gifts.

It is truly an honor to be your child's teacher and I so appreciate all the love you sent my way this past week.

Thank you!

Weekly News: Week 34

The first week of May found us finishing up our study of graphing in Module 6, wrapping up our exploration of the Revolutionary War, and starting a few fun projects.

On Thursday we started putting together our Kites. This takes a lot of patience and attention to detail but the kids loved putting together the beginning frames for their Kites. We will be putting the finishing touches on our kites next week.

We also started our Geometry project... Geometrocity! Together with their table groups they will be designing their very own city complete with neighborhoods. This gives students a chance to put their Geometry knowledge to the test. The cities will be ready for viewing at Open House.

Donation Opportunity:
We are in need of paper road maps of the United States. If you belong to an auto club, like AAA, please consider stopping by a location and asking for a couple of their free road maps. We are in need of at least 11 maps to complete our Social Studies simulation. More information can be found HERE. Any help you can give is much appreciated!



Reminder: 
We start our CAASPP Testing on Monday. Please have all students at school on time as we begin testing right at 8:15am. I recommend bringing a book in case you finish the test early. This week we are taking the ELA portions of the state test.

Monday, 5/8-- ELA CAT
Thursday, 5/11-- ELA PT

Donation Opportunity: U.S. Road Maps Needed

Needed: paper United States Road Maps (from AAA or another auto club)


Our class and Ms. Britto's class will be starting an interactive United States project to end our Social Studies curriculum and we are in need of road maps. If anyone has a paper map that they are willing to donate to the classroom we would really appreciate it.

The students will be writing on the maps, so please donate items you do not need returned.

If you belong to AAA and can go to a nearby location, we'd love any maps you are able to get for our class. My hope is that we can get at least 11 paper Road Maps.

Wheelchair Foundation

Dear Parents,

This week Mohr School is participating in a district-wide effort to support the Wheelchair Foundation.  

The 3 primary goals of the project are:

• raise awareness about the need for mobility in the world
• sensitize students to the issues faced by people with intellectual/developmental and physical disabilities
• raise money to provide wheelchairs for those in need

Our monetary goal at Mohr is to collect donations that represent $3.50 per student.  That would be the equivalent of providing approximately 14 wheelchairs for people who are unable to afford one.  For the price of a school lunch, students can change a life by giving the gift of hope and mobility.

Donations in any amount are welcome, and may be made in the form of cash, checks (to the “Wheelchair Foundation”), or online at http://del-corazon.org/to-donate-to-the-wheelchair-foundation/.

Thank you for supporting this worthy cause and wonderful lesson in compassion for our students!
