Wow!
I can’t believe we’ve made it past Spring Break and into April already! It has
certainly been a fantastic year so far! Each and every one of our students has
worked so hard, and accomplished so much! I am so proud of their growth, and so
thankful for the wonderful support of my staff, specialists and, of course,
families. “Our” students are doing most of the hard work, but it is evident by
their success that they have a full home and school team helping them each step
of the way!
Planning
ahead….
As
fast as this year has already gone, it’s about to pick up speed! I want to take
a few minutes to give you a heads up of what to expect:
*Lots
of hard work! Most of us have either just had or are about to have our annual
IEP, which includes lots of challenging new goals in the areas of academics,
social skills, behavior, life skills, study skills and communication. We wrote
ambitious goals for your student because we KNOW they will rise to the
challenge! J
*Field
trips! Coming up, there will be an opportunity for 8th graders to
walk over to Aloha High School (Friday, May 13th) and meet their new
teacher, Mr. Massey. They will get to visit the classroom, meet some of their
new classmates and get a tour of the school. Parents are invited too, of course
J Also, later on in May (the 26th,
to be exact), we will be participating in the Beaverton School District track
and field meet! This is an awesome chance for our students to meet new friends
and show off their skills! And last but not least, as the weather continues to
get nicer, we will be taking advantage of this and going outside for academic
lessons. We have a lot of things we can study around Mountain View (bugs,
weather, plants, etc.), as well as simply enjoying the weather as we work on
our reading, math and writing work. This is something I’ve done for many years
and it’s something everyone always looks forward to!
I
am looking forward to a fantastic spring full of fun and learning!
Mrs. Z
