Newsletter May 6 - 10

I did not send home the May reading record until today.  That reading record will be due on Friday, May 17th and will be worth 50 points this month.  Friday, May 17th is a big day because I will not accept any late work after that date.  I will have spelling tests and math homework the next two weeks.  We will not have any more required reading or math homework after that date.  Thanks for continuing to read with your children.  We have several more children that have read 100 books.  They are Kaden, Justin and Dalton!  You have until May 17th to help your child complete that task.

I did not send home a grade report either, last Wednesday the district shut down the power school site for maintenance of some sort.  I was planning on entering grades and printing them out that day.  I will do that this Wednesday, and send the grade print out on Thursday, May 9th.  Please look over your child's grades and send any missing work back for credit.

May Scholastic book orders are due today.  If you would like to order please use the online code and submit your order tonight.  I will place the order tomorrow so that any books ordered can make it back by the end of the school year.

Remember that our DIBELS test is next Monday, May 13th.  Please have your child here that day, well rested.  I will make them pancakes prior to the test.  Thank you to those that have donated syrup or apple juice!

We are going swimming next Wednesday, May 15th.  I sent the permission slip home last week.  I have had four parents volunteer to come with us.  I still need 1 or 2 brave souls to come with us (I would take more than that if I get more volunteers).  Please let me know if you can help out that day.  On the swimming day, please have your child come with their swimming suit on underneath their clothes.    They will also need to bring a towel, and a dry pair of underpants in a plastic "Wal-mart" type bag.  I have had some kids ask if they can bring goggles and yes, that would be all right.  If your child has a swimming pass they can bring that for admission instead of the $2.00 donation.

I am reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to the class and during the last week of school I will show the movie of that book.  It will be the "old" version that is rated G.  If any of you do not want you child to view this movie please contact me.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful children with me this year.
Happy Reading!
