Dear Families,
It’s
hard to believe that spring is really here given this past week’s
dreary weather. However the forecast looks great for the weekend and
next week. We are all looking forward to some warm sunny days and
outdoor recess. This leads me to the next topic. As a reminder, please
make sure that your child completes their homework and reading every
night. Also please continue to sign their planners and reading sheets.
It is important to maintain the same routine even though the longer days
and nicer weather have arrived!
We
are very excited about the arrival of our next Science Kit: Land and
Water. We will be doing many interesting experiments over the next few
weeks examining the relationship between the land and water. One of our
first lessons will be modeling the water cycle. We will be learning
about the processes of evaporation and condensation. Please ask your
child about it!
Next
week we will be doing many fun and exciting activities to celebrate
Reading Week. Below you will find the scheduled activities for the
week.
Reading Week at Wakefield Elementary School
(April 13th-17th)
Calling All Books! Books for Book Swap!
The
Wakefield School Library will be holding a Book Swap during the week of
April 13-17. We are requesting books that are in good condition that
your family is finished using. Every child will be able to take at least
one book during the swap, whether or not they brought any books
for the swap. We are hoping that you will be able to send a few books
that are in good condition to the School’s Library. You can start
sending in the books at any time, from now up until the week of the
swap.
Monday, April 13th - Hats Off to Reading! Help us to kick off Reading Week by wearing your favorite hat to school.
Wednesday, April 15th - Wear your pajamas to school! Also, bring your favorite stuffed animal and a flashlight!
Wednesday, April 15th
will be the Grade 4 Battle of the books from 7-8:30 pm at the SKHS
auditorium. Grade 4 students will need to be there by 6:40pm. Families
and friends are most welcome to come and watch!
Friday, April 17th
- It’s time to start thinking about your favorite book character. On
Friday, the last day of our reading week, Wakefield School will be
dressing up as their favorite book characters.
Guest Readers- Come in, and read to your child and his/her class. Be on the lookout for a signup sheet from your child’s teacher.
Reading Trivia Questions

child during his/her time in library. Students will have the
opportunity to show what they know about these books!
