Wow has the year flown by....

Good Morning,

For most of the 4th graders the math and reading assessments are over! Wahoo!!  Science assessment is next week and then we will be done with state testing! Everyone give a cheer!

We have several things going on in the next couple of weeks, so make sure and check the calendar at the bottom of the page.

The students have earned several parties for the end of the year for trying so hard on State Assessments.  As long as they do their best on the Science Assessment they will also earn the animal show and tell the last week of school.
This Thursday is the class respect party.  We will be watching Tangled, wearing PJs, and snuggling with a pillow or a stuffed animal.

May 6th we are going to Katie Franks house for a picnic and ice cream.  We will leave after specials at 10:10 and be back after lunch.  We will be walking.  If your child needs a school lunch for that day please let me know by tomorrow so I can order it.  Does anyone have a wagon we could borrow to put our lunches in? I know I'm a horrible mom that doesn't have a wagon for her child yet.  :)

May 13th is our gaming party.  The students may bring their handheld games.  I will lock them in my cabinet when they are not playing them.  Games must be rated E for everyone to play.  I will be bringing in my Wii for the kids to play.  If anyone has a ps3 or xbox they would be willing to let us hook up to the tv that would be awesome.  Preferabbly with games for 4 people.

May  17th is when we will walk to DQ and get ice cream and go to the park.  Students need to bring their own money to purchase ice cream.  If DQ is not open by then we will reevaluate what party we will do instead.

The last week of school May 16-19  will be our pet show and tell.  Please email me with the animal you are bringing 3 times during that week you will be able to bring in your child's pet and I will get a master schedule to you.  From 9:20 until 10:10 we are in specials.  We are at lunch from 12:00-12:45.   

Next week will be our last spelling test.  So if your child's grade is low you will want to really encourage studying this week!
