Homecoming Week

This is a really busy week for us with many odd things going on. Monday and Wednesday mornings started with a long, and challenging MAPS test(math and reading skills)on the computer. The data we take from these tests should help us to figure out where our students strengths are so we are better equipped to teach and assist individuals.

On Tuesday we went to see the Melikin Puppets perform a show about poetry, entitled "Shoes and Ships and Sealing Wax..." (Ask your child to recite the poem that we memorized a few weeks ago!) 4 Awesome A kids were very NERDY that day as well. If I can figure it out I will post a photo here of our fashion sense.

Thursday we are heading to Portage to tour the Old Indian Agency House and Surgeon's Quarters. There we will learn about early Wisconsin history (fur trading, Indian relations, U.S. Army), and see many artifacts from the time. We will lunch at a beautiful park by the Wisconsin River.

Friday is Necedah's Homecoming. The kids will construct pompons to march around the building with for our mini parade. We all need to wear as much RED as possible to show our loyalty. Mrs. Winters has a surprise set for the kids in 4A for the afternoon....???...
