Academic pages to the right are updated....
I hope you all had a wonderful Spring Break! We have 28 busy days to go!! We are practicing our test taking skills each day. Please take time to go over any missed problems from our packets with your child. You should be recieiving the packets to sign after we have worked on them in class. I feel very confident that they will do a great job on the CRCT provided they all have a good night's rest. Our testing starts Wednesday. Please make sure you start preparing their little bodies with good rest on Monday. A lack of sleep can build up restlessness over time! (As I'm sure you all know!) I have also requested "fun" snacks to be sent in from 3 parents. I have one response. So if you are interested, please email me. (Examples: Little Debbie variety basket, Rice Krispie treats, anything out of the ordinary). We will celebrate on Friday with a pizza party earned from AR points. All students will be participating in the pizza party. However, if your child is not at 100%, keep reading. We are working on this in class as well. You will get an update on Monday. AR will end on Monday 4/28. During the AR end of the year rally, all students with 100% will stand up. Please help your child reach that goal!
Blog question: What is your favorite AR animal?

So....go load your calendars!!
Items needed: snacks for CRCT, daily snacks, items for Pirate treasure, items for store
Pirate Treasure request: Please send in 22 of the same "treasure like" item. You may also send boy/girl items if it makes it easier. We have 12 boys and 9 girls. Try not to let your child see the treasures. Any items not used in the chest will be used in the end of the year store sale! We will hunt the treasure by using a "treasure map". It will be hidden somewhere in the school. We will then bring the treasure back to class and divide the "loot"! We will also need bags to carry it all home!
We would like to welcome Thomas Molander to our class from Illinois! The class has done a great job showing him the routine! You would think he has been her all year!
I'll use my mother's famous phrase..."Where has the time gone???" I absolutely cannot believe we are planning the end of the year! It has been an incredible year! We have 5 busy weeks to go!
Thanks so much for all your support!
