Our end of the year letter went home this week, outlining all of our different events for the last week of school. On Tuesday, May 22nd, we will be enjoying ice cream sundaes as well as watching the movie, THE BFG, to celebrate completing the novel in class. Please be sure to sign the permission slip and send it in because THE BFG is rated PG.

​Also, please see the sign-up genius below for help with our ice cream bar. Thank you for ALL you do!

We concluded our literature circles today! I am so proud of the students' hard work and diligence during our time with these chapter books. Here are their proud faces after our last coffee shop. Thank you also to all of the families who donated milk and treats to make our experience even more fun!

Just a little more than 2 weeks left! We have been busy bees in our room trying to get all of our stuff done before the fun begins this week! Please please continue to remind your students that we still have about 2 weeks left of school and that they are still being held to high expectations for both work and behavior. I would hate for anyone to miss out on all of the fun at the end of the year due to impulsive choices and spring fever!! 

As the year winds down, we have special events and assignments planned almost everyday. Due to that, we will not be using the dojo behavior management system for the rest of the year. We have had a class meeting to discuss the expectations for behavior and work and students know that in order to participate in all of the fun we have planned, they need to continue to behave the way I now they can. If there are any issues, they will be addressed via the agenda. Please be sure to check it nightly. Thank you for your cooperation with this! 

Field day shirts were sent home. Students are NOT to wear shirts until Thursday, May 10th for Field day. If you are able, please sign up to volunteer for field day! I know our students would LOVE to see you there! It promises to be a fun day! Please also be sure to apply sunscreen before sending them to school on Thursday. It is going to be a beautiful day, but we want to be smart in the heat of a long day. Also, if your child did not order a field day shirt, please send them in a gray t-shirt. Our class Field Day shirts are gray and it will be fun to look like one unified team! Thank you for your cooperation with this!
