Minnesota River Classroom Newsletter

Minnesota River Families, 

The last weeks are upon us!  Looking ahead we have a busy schedule coming! it will be somewhat unsual as we all will be trying to pack up our rooms while the students are present.  The students will mostly be working on finishing lesson work from the last few weeks with additional choice work and interest studies.

On Thursday, 5/31 all Lower Elementary students will be participating in Field Day with the Adolecents.  This means they should bring athletic shoes and dress for outdoor activites (sunscreen if necessary).

On Wednesday, 6/6 the students will be going to the Como Pool.  Please return your permission slip if you have not already.  Please have your student dressed in their swimsuits prior to coming to school along with the appropriate outer clothing.

Water bottles are still very necessary for the remaining of the school year.  Please make sure that your student has one with them while at school.

Thank you all for such a wonderful year!

All the best!

First Years to Como Zoo Tomorrow

Good Morning, 

This message is ONLY FOR families of FIRST YEAR students.

We have been getting excited for our upcoming trip to the zoo and to do our scavenger hunt of the 5 vertebrates!  We will be spending the first half of the day at the zoo, so please be sure to help your child bring the following:

- Water Bottle

- Backpack

- Light clothing (should be near 90 degrees tomorrow)

- Walking shoes (it is a 1.6 mile walk to the zoo)

- Packed lunch

- Apply sunscreen before school. We also have spray-on sunscreen that we can help your child apply.

Big thanks to all of our parent volunteers that have offered to chaperone tomorrow! Should be a fun-packed day!

Minnesota River News Letter

Hello Minnesota River Families, 

What great workshare afternoons!  It was so rewarding seeing the excitement of the students as they vigorously prepared work for presenting!  Thank you parents for taking time to come in and work with your students!

Unfortunately, Erik has been out sick since Wednesday this week.  We all wish him a speedy recovery as we look forward to seeing him again next week.  I do not have work updates for you but would instead encourage you to begin a conversation with your student to get updated on the work they have been doing at school.

With the change in the weather it is very important that your student bring a waterbottle with them to school each day.  Also, a reminder that we go to the park on Wednesdays, so sunscreen would be a good idea as well (they will have to be able to apply it themselves).  

A reminder to look at the snack schedule for your family's week to bring snack for the classroom.

Finally, the first years will be walking to the Como Zoo on Friday, May 25th to extend their study of vertebrates.  Please make sure that they have good walking shoes, sunscreen (or other arrangements for sun protection), a waterbottle and a lunch.  Please adjust as weather dictates.

Thank you all!

Another quick note

Hello Families, 

 Our note from yesterday about the Como pool had an error.  This field trip is NOT optional for students but the payment IS optional.  Your student should plan to attend.

Again, sorry for any confusion.
