Field Day

I am so proud of our class. We did a great job today and earned 3rd place overall in field day! Best of all, we had a great time (as you will see in some of the conditions of your children when they get home). There will several muddy places in the field and some of our students seemed to find them easier than others!!

As we are winding down the school year, we have some things to look forward to next week. On Tuesday, our 4th quarter Rocket Clubbers will be having their celebration. On Wednesday, the students who earned Rocket Club all year (Chey, Renee, and Caleb) will get a special treat at Country Crus'n. Thursday is our last day of school and the PTO will be providing a hot dog lunch for everyone.

It has been my pleasure to spend the year with your children. We had some great characters in the class this year and they made things interesting (and fun) each day. I look forward to peeking in on them as they move to the middle school next year.

Thanks for a great year!!!!

2 weeks left

Hard to believe we only have 2 weeks left. There is a lot going on in those 2 weeks. Our weather is getting much warmer, especially in the classrooms. Students are permitted once again to bring water bottles.

On Thursday we will take the students to the middle school for a short tour so they can get an idea of what to expect next year. Permission slips are coming home today and need to be returned immediately so that students can go on Thursday.

Friday afternoon is our field day. Make sure you are dressed appropriately so our class can do well!

Next Tuesday is the 4th quarter Rocket Club. Wednesday the students who have made it in Rocket Club all year will get a special celebration. Students last day is Thursday the 4th.

Big Week

This week there is a lot going on!! We will have students going in all different directions. A good time is sure to be had no matter where you end up!

Washington DC travelers need to be sure to be at the school by 4:45 am. The buses will leave promptly at 5:00am with or without you! Be sure to wear your red t shirt on Wednesday.

Camp Campbell Gard students will leave once they get to school promptly at 8:45. Please be sure to have a good breakfast. Be sure to dress for the weather. GYMS SHOES OR BOOTS ONLY, no flip flops or sandals. Lunch and dinner will be provided.

Students staying here this week can plan on lots of fun activities. Bring your beach towels on Wednesday for an outdoor silent reading time! Other fun activities are planned, so stay tuned!

What was I thinking!?!?

No, your children are not fibbing. I forgot to send home interim reports on Friday and I was out yesterday getting tests done at the hospital (still having some trouble with that pesky salmonella). They will be going home today!!

Our school is having a Box Tops for Education contest. The class that collects the most Box Tops by May 22 will earn a popsicle and extra recess. Each box top is worth 10 cents. If each student brings in 10 box tops per week for the rest of the year, our class could collect almost $100. Just imagine if we had been collecting these all year! All money collected this year will be used to refurbish and replace our outdated library books.
