There are geography and DOL quizzes on Friday.

The latest count on food for the dinner theater is:

  • 10 desserts
  • 8 main courses
  • 6 appetizers

I sent a permission slip home today.  I would like to keep the class after school on next Tuesday.  We will need the time to make last minute preparations and for dress rehearsals.  I will keep them until the dinner theater so please send extra snacks.

More information on the dinner theater.

This is the breakdown of the responses related to food so far:

  • Salad or appetizer 5
  • Main course 3
  • Dessert 9

Obviously, we need more main courses.  Those of you who have not responded yet, please plan on bringing a main course or salad.  If the numbers are still skewed as of next Wednesday, I might buy a large cake for the dessert.  That way everyone could bring salads, appetizers, or main courses.  We will have access to warmers to store main courses if necessary.  Thanks for all of your support with this activity

I might need to keep the children here at school on Tuesday the 20th from dismissal time till the dinner.  I will send home a permission slip on Wednesday if I think it will be necessary.  Please make a point of checking email and the blog frequently between now and the dinner theater. 

Here is a list of upcoming events:

  • Field Day, Friday, May 16
  • Honor's Day, Wednesday, May 21, 8:30 at West Cobb Baptist Church
  • Fifth grade walk, Friday, May 23, 1:45   Consider car pooling with some other families due to parking limitations.

A spelling test was sent home.

The class received questions for interviews today. They should try to find a person that experienced the Great Depression and World War Two for the project. Students who are unable to find an interviewee can modify the assignment. Other topics that are acceptable are the Korean War, Vietnam War, Civil Rights Era or any other historically significant event.

Target students will need to return the donation and permission slips for the field trip to Blue Ridge tomorrow, because they will be at St. Simons when the deadline passes.
