Hi Families! 

Here is an update for the week! 

We will begin learning about ponds and pond animals!  In writing, students will begin a non-fiction pond animal writing journal!  In math we are continuing to learn about teen numbers and practice addition and subtraction!   There will be a math test next Thursday.  I will be sending home practice pages for your child this week!

We have music for the special!  (Students will not have a special on Thursday because of the field trip!)

*Our field trip is this Thursday!   I am very excited for the day.  Please remember to send your child in appropriate clothes and also to have him/her bring a brown bag lunch!  If you are a parent who is planning on attending, I will have direction sheets for you on Thursday.  Due to the limited space on the bus, parents are asked to drive separately!  

We still have a few kiddos who have not brought in money yet for the field trip.  The cost is four dollars! 

Looking ahead…

The “Just Write” Celebration is on May 17th and will include a classroom awards ceremony as well!  It is from 2-3! 

Thank you!
Miss Brown 🙂

Hi Families!

This week will continue to learn about plants.   We will also continue to work on our “Just Write” pieces for writing!  Just a few reminders:

Our field trip will be on May 10th…if you have not sent in your child’s money for the field trip, please do so!

Our specials this week are art and music!

We are looking forward to a great week!

Kindly,

Miss Brown 🙂 

 

Hi Families!

 

My name is Kristen Brown and I am thrilled to be your child’s teacher for the duration of the school-year!  I am looking forward to getting know your child!  We had a great first week together and I enjoyed meeting some of you while you volunteered in the classroom! 

 

I would like to take a moment to tell you a little bit more about me!  I am from the Grand Rapids area and am a graduate of Alma College.  I have taught kindergarten, first, and third grades.  This year I have worked at both Jamestown Elementary and Georgetown Elementary as a long-term substitute.  I am so excited to be back at Georgetown to end the year!  

 

Mrs. Jaabay and I have spent time together planning to make sure this is a smooth transition for your little one!  Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns!

 

Kindly,

Miss Brown
