March 11/16

Happy Spring Break!

I hope you all enjoy some fun-filled family time over the next two weeks.  Here are a few reminders/updates for the upcoming return to school.

*April will be 'Club R.E.D' month (Read Each Day).  A calendar/information letter will be coming home after the break
*Report cards will also be coming home the first week back
*Your children received new JRR books today which they can enjoy over the holidays
*It is great to see several of you have already registered and begun Xtra Math!  The link is now on the blog for easier access
*Mrs. Watkins will be sending out a field trip permission form (via the portal) regarding our field trip to the ACT theater to see Peter Pan.  It will be on Thursday, April 14th (in the afternoon) and all primary classes will be attending.  Drivers will be needed so if you could 'Save the Date' that would be much appreciated

I will look forward to hearing all of the exciting stories your children will have to share after the break.  There will be a TOC for the Tuesday, March 29th and Wednesday, March 30th and I will be back on the Thursday.

Enjoy your holiday time, everyone!

Happy 100 Day!

We had a great time celebrating the 100th day of school today.  We did this as a whole school this year and it was a big success.  The intermediate students took a leadership role and it was a great community building event.  It is hard to believe that next week is the last week before spring break.  Please see below for some important reminders/information about the week.

*conferences are coming this Wednesday and Thursday.  Please see the conference link on this website if you have not already signed up.
*Grandparents day is also this Wednesday.  Please send a grandparent (or you are welcome to come yourself) and enjoy a family celebration
*Wednesday is also an early dismissal day (11:15)
*Friday is 'Crazy Hair Day' for anyone who would like to participate
*cans of food will still be collected on Monday.  We have collected 349 so far!
*we don't have any balls/equipment left in our class (basketballs, soccer balls, squash or racquetball balls for wall ball).  I put an order in for the school in December but there have been some ordering issues that are still being dealt with.  If anyone has any extra equipment in their garage that they would like to donate to the class that would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

Enjoy the weekend, everyone!
