Dear Parents,

I hope you are well and are getting outside despite the mixed up weather.  It is hard to believe that it is May next week.

Updates/Reminders/Thank you's

*Monday, May 1st is a Professional Development Day (no school for students)
*I have updated the calendar section on this blog to reflect the dates to note in May
*spelling quizzes will be coming home today.  If your child has a 1/2 mark taken off it is due to using a capital where it is not needed (or missing one in the case of 'May').  We have been working on this for several weeks and everyone was reminded prior/during the quiz
*everyone will be receiving new JRR books next week.  Please send book bags to school daily.
*every student has been assigned a 'Scientist of the Day' date.  This information was sent home earlier this week.  If you did not receive a 'Scientist' package please write a note in your child's planner and I will send a new one.  Also, a second sheet with room for a diagram and explanation came home separately.  I apologize for the error as it was supposed to be included with the package.  Again, please notify me if you are missing either of these papers.
*we have been exploring our class library and have come up with a wish list.  I have a small amount of money to purchase books but I am hoping that some of you may have gently books to donate to the class.  High interest books included: Rainbow Fairy books, Captain Underpants, Bad Kitty, books about animals, The Magic School Bus, Geronimo Stilton and Minecraft.  Many of our books go missing from the classroom so any donations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
