Updates May 16th - 20th

Good afternoon parents!

We had a great field trip to Ollie Koala's yesterday! The kids were all well-behaved and I wanted to send out a big thank you to Ms. Santos, Ms. Castleberry, Ms. Lehnherr, and Ms. Campbell for being the brave souls to chaperone this field trip! It was a great time.

You should have recieved your child's progress report in his/her homework folder. Please sign the report and send it back to school. I will make a copy for my records and then send the original back home to you. Please make sure to notice if your child appears to be struggling in any area. The skills in both math and reading are getting much more difficult toward the end of the year and their attention spans are getting much shorter. We have had to have many discussions lately about making sure to pay attention and follow directions all the way to the last day of school!

Our Backyard Barbecue basket looks AWESOME!! Thank you so much to all of you who sent in donations for this worthy cause! Please remember that your child brought home a sheet for you to purchase hearts or hands for $1 to remember or honor a loved one who has suffered with cancer. As soon as Ms. Santos and I get the basket put together, I will take a picture of it and post it on the blog. Also, another reminder, the Family Fitness Night is Thursday, May 19th from 6-8 p.m. Please join us for this time of fun and togetherness! It will be a blast and raise money for a worthy cause at the same time. There will be activities for all family members as well as a silent auction for the themed baskets. I can promise you that there is a basket for ALL interests! Our secret words for the week are Family Fitness Night!

I mistakenly put on the homework that we have library next Friday (5/20). In fact, we have art that day. ALL library books are due by the 20th, though. Ms. Elledge has to inventory the entire library before summer so she needs to have all of the books turned in by then. Please make sure to send your child's library book back to school at some time this week. A notice for lost/damaged library books will be sent home to you if your child doesn't return his/her books. If your child has an outstanding library fine, he/she will not be allowed to check out books next year until the fine is paid.

Have a wonderful week and StAy BuGgY!!!
