Newsletter May 13 - 17

This is our last week of spelling words and homework.  All work will be due this Friday, May 17th including the May reading record. I assigned math homework three times this week, including Thursday, so make sure that you child completes that homework and turns it on on Friday.

Friday the 17th is also the last day to turn in lists towards our 100-book challenge.  These wonderful readers have all read 100 books--Amilia, Justin, Alec, McKenlee, Dalton, Reese, Jacob, Kaden, Cason and Ruby.  I will call the newspaper this week and let you know in my next newsletter when these (and possibly a few others) students will be pictured in the newspaper. 

We are going swimming tomorrow.  With Three Peaks joining us I so appreciate those parents that have volunteered to come with us swimming. Thursday is the Walk-a-thon from 9:30 - 10:30 a.m.  All students will walk even if they do not submit pledges.   On Friday, we are walking up to the Canyon Park to walk on the trail and play on the playground for Field Day.  We will have water bottles for each student supplied by our wonderful PTA.  After Field day in the morning, it is tradition here at East Elementary to have a school-wide BBQ lunch.  If you child normally brings a home lunch, but you would like them to have a school lunch that day, please make sure that your child's lunch account has money in it.

The take-home library is closed.  If your child has lost their take-home library book please send the $5.00 replacement cost.  I will send home notices to those children who owe $5.00.  This Friday, is our library day and all library books are due that day.  If you child's books are turned in that day they will be able to pick out a free book to take home.  Please look for lost library books or pay the fee  to replace the lost item.

Yesterday we had pancakes and DIBELS (long name for our reading test).  I will send home the results of that test along with your child's grades and teacher assignment for next year hopefully by next Wednesday.  If the class assignments are not ready then it may be that I send that information home on Thursday or Friday.  Remember that the last day of school is Friday, May 24 and we dismiss at 2:30 that day!

Go and read with your child in his beautiful warm weather and remember that all work is due this Friday!!
