As the end of the year draws closer ASC and PDO would like to ask for your help supplying used art supplies. We are looking for markers, crayons, glue bottles/sticks, and watercolor paint sets. Our little ones in PDO do not care what color the marker is or if there is a missing color in the watercolor pallet. So any donations would be appreciated. Thank you , The PDO teachers If you want your child's art supplies email me and I will send them home. If I don't hear from you I will donate the supplies.
I am sending home a form for Highlights. I get free stuff even if you mark "NO" there just needs to be a signature. Thanks for helping me earn items for my classroom.
ARTSONIA: Watch for their end of the year sale on portfolio books. This is a great way to ‘save’ your child’s artwork from this year. All artwork from this year is uploaded and should be published by Tuesday on Artsonia. Remember Zion gets a percentage of each purchase and I use that to fund the art in first grade.
Your children are very passionate about praying; I have talked to them about taking home the church’s prayer requests and continuing to pray for those in need. Please help them maintain an active prayer and worship life this summer. Remember to take advantage of the various services that Zion offers. Beginning the first weekend in June, June 6/7 the church times will be
Saturday at 5:00, Sunday at 8 and 10:30 and Monday at 7:00.
We have learned a lot this year. I encourage you to join the Summer Reading Program at the library! It is a great incentive to keep reading. If you would like to do a little more... I am doing tutoring this summer. I will tutor on Tuesdays. I will have a group session from 9-10. At this session I will focus on maintaining levels. We will work on Reading and Writing. I will do individual tutoring after group tutoring. The intent is to work on Reading, Writing, and Math on individual levels. If you are interested email me and I will email you specific times and costs.
I am so thankful to God for this school year. It has been an absolute joy to share your children this year. I have seen them grow so much and feel blessed that I was given the opportunity to teach them. This is a wonderful class full of so many talented and unique personalities. Thank you for partnering with me this year. I feel that your children and you have become part of my family. I will keep you in my heart and prayers. I am truly blessed and love coming to school everyday. To God all praise and glory.
In HIM,
Amy Bernhardt
