Classroom update 4/15/13
Holy cow... realized on Saturday that I completely forgot to send
home a weekly update AND the spelling lists last week! Hope that didn't
throw everyone off too much!
First... report cards come home today. I put them in each kid's mailbox so if they "forget" it, feel free to come back to school and get it! Ha! There is a note attached to it for you to sign and return to me so that I know you received and looked over their report cards. Call me 321-1530 if you have any questions or concerns.
Next.... the walk a thon has been postponed until NEXT Thursday the 25th of April. The weather this week is going to be quite questionable... we never know here in Michigan whether its going to be 70 degrees or 30 degrees and snowing.... so rather than have everything and all the volunteers caught off guard by a cancellation we're just switching it to next week.
If you student has not yet turned in their $$ please have them get it turned in to me asap!
Tomorrow morning (Tuesday) 5th graders who made their 100% A.R. goal will be traveling to "The Rink" and skating until 11:30 a.m. We'll then return to school for a normal day. If you don't receive an email stating that your student DIDN'T make their goal, then assume your student is going.
Track and Field day - June 4th Due to the fact that small children got trampled last year by the stampeding 3rd - 5th graders when the fire trucks came to hose them down, any small children (siblings) accompanying you to watch track and field day MAY NOT participate in the fire truck drenching. It has become a serious safety concern. The little ones will get their chance when they reach 3rd grade.
Paper! We are seriously low on copy paper! If you could donate a package of paper to the office or our class we would be MOST appreciative.
I have down on my Calendar that this Friday's dress up day is "Music Day". Send your kiddos to school wearing your old concert t-shirts.... or dress them up like rock stars. The possibilities are endless!
