Weekly Blast

 

Good morning parents!

I am sending my blast today because I wanted to remind you all that TOMORROW is SPIRIT DAY at Calvert. We are encouraging all to wear Gold and black and jeans are  permitted!

The 7^th Agers are proud new parents of a baby boy monarch butterfly. No name has been chosen yet…but I’m sure the guys will keep you posted. We will release her this afternoon!

Next Friday, September 27th is PICTURE DAY. Please return your order forms to me.

 We are having our first field trip to Irvine Nature Center on Tuesday, October 8th. We will be leaving here at about 10:30 and arriving home about 2:45.  There are only TWO chaperones needed for this trip. So, the first two parents to respond to this email are our chaperons for this field trip.

 We have learned two letters thus far in Calvert script…”I” and “o”. The guys completed their very first Calvert script folder paper today. They all did a beautiful job!

Next Tuesday, we are having an assembly called “Music with Milkshake. There will be an acoustic guitar player and a vocalist. Should be a wonderful assembly!

Thanks,

Trini

News from 7-1

Dear Parents,

     We have had another great week at Calvert!  We have been watching our monarchs develop in 7-A and   7-B; boy do they eat a lot of milkweed! We now have 3 chrysalises and 4 caterpillars.  We are wondering where the gold comes from on the chrysalis. Maybe our answer is in one of our books.

We hope to begin with our reading and math groups next week. Here are some important dates;

Sept. 10^th Assembly

Sept. 20th Calvert Spirit Day- dress down day, wear Calvert colors

Sept. 24th  Assembly

Sept 27th Picture Day

 

Thank you for attending our back to school night. Have a great weekend.

Trini
