First, April reading records are due May 1! Please return these by May 2nd at the latest, because that is the day that the SUU student will be picking them up. The class who reads the most minutes will receive a pizza party. I will send home a May reading record on May 1st. I will only require reading until Friday, May 17th. May's reading record will be due then, May 17th!!
The last day to check out library books will be May 10th. Those books will need to be returned by Friday, May 17th. All students who return their books by May 17th will receive a free book to take home. Please look for lost books or pay the fine associated with the lost book. If your child returns the book after May 17th, they will not receive the free book incentive. The Take-home library books will also stop the week of May 6 -10. Please return those books too, or pay the $5.00 to replace the lost Take-home book.
On Monday, May 13th we will take our end of year reading test. As I mentioned before, I am going to make pancakes for my students that morning before the test. If you would like to donate a bottle of syrup or some apple juice please let me know. Thanks to Cason's mom for already donating one bottle of syrup! Please have your child here that day, well-rested and ready to go!
We are going swimming on Wednesday, May 15th with all of the first grade classes. The cost for this field trip is a $2.00 donation. For this field trip to occur, we need 5 or 6 parent volunteers from each classroom. So far, I have two fathers who are willing to come swimming with us (yes, that means put on a suit and get in the water). I still need at least 3 more volunteers. If you can help us out that morning from 9:45 to 11:30 please send me a note or e-mail. Watch for a permission slip for this field trip on Thursday.
On Thursday, May 16th, the PTA is sponsoring a Walk-A-Thon. It is a fundraiser for our school. I will send home information for this fun fundraiser tomorrow. All children will walk this day even if they do not collect pledges.
Our school field day will be Friday, May 17th. The first grade classes have decided to walk up to Canyon Park and walk the canyon trail and then play on the playground equipment for field day. We will leave the school that morning at 9:30 and return before lunch. Lunch that day will be a BBQ. We all get lunch and eat outside on the east fields. If your child usually brings a home lunch, but would like to have a school lunch that day please make sure that they have money in their lunch account.
I will still have spelling tests for the next three weeks, and send home math homework most days until May 17th. Please have all work turned in by Friday, May 17th so that I can get the final grades put in the computer and printed out.
Phoenix's and McKenlee's Flat Stanley's have traveled to Lehi and Price Utah, respectively and they were excited to share their experiences with the class. Remember that when your child's Flat Stanley returns send it back with your child so that they can share his experiences with us. My students love this activity!
We have three more students that have reached the 100-book milestone! Congratulations to Reese, Mckenlee and Amilia!! This challenge will stop on Friday, May 17th and those that reach it will have their picture submitted to the Iron County Today newspaper and will be able to release a balloon in celebration. The best part though, is those that have participated in this challenge have become better readers!
Congratulations also to Kaden Stucki! He is our April Catch-the-Vision winner. He is an awesome student!
If you have any questions about anything that we will be doing during May, or any concerns about your child please don't hesitate to contact me.
Scroll down and enjoy some pictures from our recent Field Trip to Bard's Birthday Bash.
Happy Reading!!
