Only a Few Weeks to Go

Hello everyone!  We are slowly dwindling our days away for the school year.  It should be a fairly normal week with little interruptions, and will be our last normal week for the 2013-2014 school year.  Wow!

Today I am sending your child's Unit 7 assessment in math.  Please look over the test with your child and discuss the test with him/her.  Look over the questions that were missed and ask your child to solve the missed questions.  Please sign the sheet attached to the test to indicate that you have looked over the test and discussed the missed problems.  Finally, please have your child return the sheet to me.  THIS IS HOMEWORK!  Some of the students are receiving a review packet.  Your child IS EXPECTED to complete the packet at home with help from you.  Your child does NOT need to return the packet, but your child DOES need to complete it.  If you would like for your child to turn it into me, I would be more than willing to check it over and let your child know how he/she did.  If you have any questions when the tests go home today, please contact me.  Thank you!

Your child will participate in "Camp Read 'Smore" on Friday, May 23rd.  You have been invited to come into the classroom and read with your child on Friday afternoon at 2:30 PM.  Some of you have returned the form indicating that you will be coming in to read with your child on Friday afternoon.  If you still plan on coming on Friday, please let me know and we will plan on seeing you on Friday!  Thanks!


Book Clubs will be ending next week.  Our last day for Book Clubs will be Thursday, May 29th.  Your child will continue to have Book Club assignments throughout next week and hopefully will finish his/her Book Club book by Thursday, May 29th.  However, if any groups finish his/her books earlier than next week, those students will not receive new books for Book Clubs and will NOT have any new assignments.  I appreciate your help with Book Clubs throughout the last quarter, such as listening to your child read, helping your child monitor his/her comprehension, or making sure the assignments have been completed.  Your child's success with Book Clubs is an indication of help from you at home.  Thank you!


Our May field trip is just next week.  We are planning our last field trip on Friday, May 30th.  We are planning on traveling to the National Eagle Center and Lark Toys.  The National Eagle Center is located in Wabasha, Minnesota and Lark Toys is located in Kellogg, Minnesota.  We plan on leaving early that morning (around 7:45 AM) and returning around 3:15 PM.  THERE WILL BE FORMS REGARDING THE FIELD TRIP THAT WILL BE SENT HOME AND THAT WILL NEED TO BE FILLED OUT AND RETURNED LATER THIS WEEK!  LOOK FOR THOSE FORMS LATER THIS WEEK!!!!!  Thanks!



For those students that read all of the calendars for the Pizza Hut Book It program, they will be rewarded on Friday!  Woot, woot!  In years past, we have had a classroom pizza party.  Due to the changes to our food program, we are unable to have a pizza party.  However, we will celebrate with a "Dinner and a Movie."   Your child will eat lunch in the classroom with me as we watch a short movie during that time.  I will supply a dessert for our dinner date.   Thanks!

Have a wonderful week!

Finishing Up Strong

Hello all!  It appears that spring is trying to work its way into our week!  I have been impressed at how the students don't appear to have too much "spring fever," but that may change this week!  Part of me feels the same way....I am looking forward to the warmer weather too!

Book Clubs have been fairly constant for the past two months.  Our last day for Book Clubs will be Thursday, May 29th.  Your child will continue to have assignments today and the next two weeks.  Your child will finish his/her Book Club book by Thursday, May 29th.  I appreciate your help with Book Clubs, such as listening to your child read, helping your child monitor his/her comprehension, or making sure the assignments have been completed.  Your child's success with Book Clubs is an indication of help from you at home.  Thank you!


Our May field trip is just around the corner.  We are planning our last field trip on Friday, May 30th.  We are planning on traveling to the National Eagle Center and Lark Toys.  The National Eagle Center is located in Wabasha, Minnesota and Lark Toys is located in Kellogg, Minnesota.  We plan on leaving early that morning (around 7:45 AM) and returning around 3:15 PM.  I will contact you, or inform your child, if you will be needed as a chaperone for the field trip.  I will send more information about the field trip next week, so ask your child about it.  THERE WILL BE FORMS THAT WILL NEED TO BE FILLED OUT AND RETURNED!  Thanks!



For those students that read all of the calendars for the Pizza Hut Book It program, they will be rewarded next week!  Woot, woot!  In years past, we have had a classroom pizza party.  Due to the changes to our food program, we are unable to have a pizza party.  However, we will celebrate with a "Dinner and a Movie."   Your child will eat lunch in the classroom with me as we watch a short movie during that time.  I will supply a dessert that would follow the guidelines of our food program.  I will choose a day next week where we will have "Dinner and Movie" and let you know when it will be.  Thanks!


Have a fabulous week!  Thanks!
