Dear Parents:
I sent home the forms for the parent drivers for Wednesday, June 1 field trip just to confirm drivers and to let you know what students will be driving with you. Please remember to bring snacks and a lunch with you. There is a place to sit and read and chat if you would rather do that than come on the tour with us. Thank you so much for driving!!!
We also sent home a sheet with reminders about Saturday's regatta for those students coming.
Reminders:
Grade 6 students are supplying small travel bottles of shampoo for "Summer Camp" care packages for underprivileged kids the Salvation Army is sending to camp this summer. Other grades are supplying other things for the camp kits these kids will need. Please send these in any time this week or next week. The grade 1 class is putting together the kits.

Mrs. Newman Tuesday
Dear Parents,
The class did an excellent job on their simile assignment; the "Super Similes" are up on the bulletin board in the hall, thanks to Mrs. Heinrich's. I was also very pleased with the logical and mathematically sound way the kids handled their practice quiz on solving perimeter questions, especially the the more complex type in which they solve for an unknown side. A huge percentage of the kids can show their work in the way their grade 8 and beyond teachers will expect it to be shown. Bravo!

Happy Mother's Day!
Dear Moms,
Below is something I read today in Ann Voskamp's blog called "A Holy Experience". The three points really fit in with Love and Logic! She also has two printable downloads that are helpful and inspiring in today's blog. You can get there by going to www.aholyexperience.com
There is one called 10 Grace Prayers for Joyful Parenting and another called 10+ Real Helps for a Really Busy Mom.
I'm not a mom, but in a way I am an extension of your mothering when you send your children to my classroom for so much of the week. So, I'll be reading these and rereading these and praying these often.
Happy Mother's Day! Much love, Loree Newman
FROM TODAY'S "A HOLY EXPERIENCE":
Notes to self as I parent today, 3 lines that have radically changed my parenting– what I call Poetic Parenting:
1. Heart Connect… only then Direct.
Instruction can only thrive in the soil of authentic relationship. Before offering instruction, consider how to touch the child gently. Think on how to frame all instructions in the context of a loving, affirming relationship.
If instruction bears tensions then check out the soil: perhaps the relationship needs fertilizing. If the relationship has been well cultivated and nourished, and instruction still yields resistance, perhaps offering more opportunities to practice receiving and implementing instruction may nourish the young shoot towards a joyful attitude.
Questions to self: Am I making eye contact? Am I touching? Have I nourished this relationship? Am I connecting before directing?
2. Love, what did I say?……
And will you obey?Asking the child what was said allows the child to offer feedback to ensure they did indeed hear the instructions.
Then, does the child intend to do what was asked?
3. By what is inspected,
They’ll know what is expectedOur children need to hear it as much as the faithful servant needed to hear it: “Well done, good and faithful servant!”
Questions to Self: Am I bringing closure to an instruction by joining with a child to inspect the task? Am I being faithful to finishing that which I began: I gave the instruction, did I inspect?
And thus a few lines for self to recite, that radically change everything about parenting:
1. Heart Connect … only then Direct
2. Love, what did I say?
Anne Voskamp
And will you obey?
3. By what is inspected
They’ll know what is expected.
