Good Afternoon! I have so much to tell you that I thought I would send it in an email just in case. So get ready to read:
Antler Day is tomorrow from 9:30 11:00 for our class. Please let your child bring a hat and good shoes for playing outside (not fancy ones, but ones that can get some action!). Your child may also get a little wet so make sure that they are okay to get a bit dirty with the clothes that they wear. The cafeteria is serving sack lunches tomorrow. I only had 2 kids tell me that they are ordering from the cafeteria (Kamryn and Anna) so everyone else needs to bring their own lunch tomorrow. BRING A SACK LUNCH TO SCHOOL TOMORROW. We will eat in the cafeteria but it will be sack lunches.
Yearbooks are being distributed today. We are making a book in the room that will allow for signatures. If you want your child to get signatures in their yearbook, they may bring them back to school tomorrow.
TOMORROW and WEDNESDAY We will be watching HOOT on those 2 days. Please make sure that you have signed the permission skip allowing your child to watch the movie. If you want you may also email me permission in lieu of signing the slip. If I dont get permission from you, they will not be allowed to watch the movie.
Thursday LAST DAY OF SCHOOL - Instead of eating in the cafeteria we are going to have a pizza party in the classroom. The party will be from 12 to 1. Mrs. Schultheis has asked for a couple of dollars to cover the cost of pizza and drinks. Please send that in as soon as possible. There are 2 graduations taking place that day kindergarten and 5th. If your child will be attending that with you, please make sure that they bring a note if you want me to send them down to meet you in the gym at the appropriate time.
THANKS! I will get emotional if I write too much but I want you to know how AWESOME of a year I have had. I am sad to see our time end, but on the other hand, so excited to see your child grow and flourish in 4th grade. Please let me know if you need anything. I would love to stay in touch. I would love you to stop by before the last day so that we may see each other one last time. Thanks for making my first year teaching in a portable so comforting and manageable. WE DID IT! I am so proud of each child and how much they have grown this year. I am very sad that Thursday is the last day but I know that each child has a special place in my heart. I wish you all the best!!!
Have a great week! I am sure that I left off something so I will let you know if anything else pops up!
Good Afternoon! I think that I saw the sun as I walking the kids to Specials! It is about time!!! I hope that you had a fun weekend! Happy belated Mothers Day! You are all wonderful moms!

AR goals
We set a class goal to earn 110 points these 9 weeks with AR. Our class has almost doubled that. As a reward, we are going to watch the movie Hoot next week. The movie is rated PG, so I will be sending home a permission slip this week. I will include some helpful reviews of the movie and then allow you to make the choice for your child. I will understand either way, and will have something planned if you decide that you dont want them to see it.
Thanks for all the wonderful class gifts during Teacher Appreciation Week. The lunches were great and so were the cookies. I love the towel, flip flops, flowers, and kitchen supplies. Thanks for thinking of me! I felt much appreciated!
Hope that you have a wonderful week! Talk with you soon!

Last week a half sheet note came home about the Land Run that the 4th grade will be putting on at school on Friday, May 1. You were to select whether or not your child would order a sack lunch from the cafeteria that day. I only received about half of them back. If you havent turned the sheet in yet that is fine, but I need to let the cafeteria ladies know by Wednesday. SO if it works for you, just email me and let me know if you will provide the lunch or if they will order one. Thanks!

We will take a short break in between the tests and we usually like to provide some brain power for the kids in the form of some healthy snacks, so please be looking for an email or note to be coming your way shortly.
Please let me know if you are going to have your child absent either day. I will let the office know and so that your child can make up their test/s.

If you arent a chaperone, that is fine, but I will also send home some information about the field trip. PLEASE REMEMBER TO KEEP THIS A SECRET!
