Sólo faltan 10 semanas de escuela. A pesar de que junio está a la vuelta de la esquina, debemos mantener a nuestros estudiantes enfocados y aprendiendo hasta el final del año. Por favor, consulte nuestro calendario para todas las actividades divertidas de fin de año que tendrán lugar. Nos encantaría que se nos uniera si pudiera.

Comenzaremos las pruebas del estado en los grados 3-5 hacia finales de abril. Por favor continúe apoyando a su hijo(a) dejandolos que descansen mucho, coman un buen desayuno y eviten interrupciones durante los períodos de prueba. Una palabra positiva de aliento de los padres hará una diferencia en los niños en la creencia en sí mismos. Gracias por inspirar a su hijo con confianza.

Si usted tiene o conoce a alguien que tiene un niño entrando al kinder en el otoño, por favor venga a la oficina a recoger un paquete de inscripción tan pronto como sea posible. La orientación de kinder es el miércoles, 17 de mayo a las 2:15 PM en la biblioteca. Esperamos verle ahí.

Como siempre, gracias por el honor de trabajar con sus hijos. Sus sonrisas, entusiasmo por aprender y alegría por la vida me traen felicidad cada día. Linwood es un lugar maravilloso.

Students should practice at home for five minutes every day. Recorders should be kept in the student's backpack when not actively being played. Students are asked to bring their recorder with them to music class on music days.

Recorder Karate: Recorder Karate is a system for students learning to play the recorder. Students earn belts as they progress through the Recorder Karate program. Students have been given Recorder Karate packets for home practice. When a student feels that they have mastered the Talent Show Auditions A piece they are working on, they are ready to take during school a belt test.

A NOTE FROM THE SCHOOL NURSE:

The weather is warming up. Time to get outside and exercise! Bike riding is a great way to get exercise and fresh air and share time as a family. But before you and the kids rush out and start pedaling, there's an important factor that you need to consider — safety. Helmet Basics

Bicycle helmet use should not be optional for anyone in your family, no matter where you are or how short the ride. In Oregon, it's the law. Many bike accidents involve a head injury, so a crash could mean permanent brain damage or death for someone who doesn't wear one while riding. In fact, each year in the United States, about half a million kids are seriously injured in bicycle-related accidents, and most of those injuries could have been avoided if a helmet was worn. To protect against brain injury, make sure your kids wear a correctly fitting helmet on every ride. Here are some things to keep in mind when buying a helmet:

● Pick bright colors or fluorescent colors that are visible to drivers and other cyclists. ● Look for a helmet that's well ventilated. ● Make sure that the helmet has a CPSC or Snell sticker inside. These indicate that the helmet meets standards set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) or the Snell Memorial Foundation, a nonprofit group that tests helmet safety. ● Make sure your child's helmet fits correctly and can be adjusted.

You should be able to get help finding a well-fitting helmet and adjusting it properly at any bicycle store. When kids wear a helmet, make sure that the straps are fastened. Also make sure they don't wear any other hat underneath it.

Be sure to replace any helmet made before 1999. If your child hits any surface hard while wearing a helmet, replace it — helmets lose their capacity to absorb shock after taking serious hits.

UNA NOTA DE LA ENFERMERA ESCOLAR: El clima se está calentando. ¡Es hora de salir y hacer ejercicio! Andar en bicicleta es una gran manera para obtener aire fresco y ejercicio y compartir con la familia. Pero antes de que usted y los niños salgan y empiecen a pedalear, hay un factor importante que debe considerar — la seguridad. Lo Básico del Casco Uso de casco de bicicleta no debe ser opcional para nadie en su familia, no importa dónde está o que tan corto es el paseo. En Oregon, es la ley. Muchos accidentes de bicicleta implican una lesión en la cabeza, así que un accidente podría significar un daño cerebral permanente o la muerte para alguien que no lleve uno mientras monta la bicicleta. De hecho, cada año en los Estados Unidos, casi un millón de niños están gravemente heridos en accidentes de bicicleta, y la mayoría de esas lesiones podrían haberse evitado si se llevaba un casco. Para proteger contra lesiones cerebrales, asegúrese de que sus hijos usan un correcto casco en cada viaje. Aquí están algunas cosas a tener en cuenta al comprar un casco: • elegir colores brillantes o colores fluorescentes que son visibles para los conductores y otros ciclistas. • Busca un casco que esté bien ventilado. • Asegúrese de que el casco tiene una calcomanía CPSC o Snell dentro. Estos indican que el casco cumple con las normas establecidas por la Comisión de seguridad de productos de consumo (CPSC) o la Fundación de Memorial Snell, un grupo sin fines de lucro que pruebas la seguridad en los cascos. • Asegúrese de que el casco de su hijo se ajusta correctamente y puede ser ajustado. Usted puede obtener ayuda encontrando un casco bien ajustado y ajustarlo correctamente en cualquier tienda de bicicletas. Cuando los niños usan un casco, asegúrese que las correas están sujetas. También asegúrese de que ellos no llevan ningún otro sombrero debajo de ella. Asegúrese de reemplazar cualquier casco construido antes de 1999. Si su hijo llega a cualquier superficie dura mientras llevaba un casco, cámbielo — los cascos pierden su capacidad para absorber el choque después de tomar serios golpes.
