Field Trip...This Friday! Walking Taco...Thursday! Fun Times Ahead!

Hello everyone!  Did you enjoy the sunshine we had this past weekend?  We were definitely due to have a nice weekend after all of the "yuck" we have been having.  I was down in Kansas City for my daughter's basketball tournament and it was 90+ degrees on Saturday!  My body wasn't used to those warm temps yet but it was very nice!

As the title states, we have our field trip coming up this Friday.  Just a reminder to send back the blue paper that was included in the packet of information about the field trip sent home last Thursday.  The blue slip needs to be returned stating who will be dropping the child off at the bus so we can leave around 7:30.  Again, if your child is late and the buses pull out, your child is still expected to attend school and will do work in the office.  (Let's hope that doesn't happen!).  Your 3B child should have brought home a packet of information with details about the field trip.  Hopefully you have seen it by now.  If not, please call me or email me as soon as possible.  We are looking forward to a wonderful trip!

Those that completed mastering all of their multiplication facts will celebrate with a "Walking Taco" party this Thursday at 2:30!  Those children who earned the celebration may also bring a beverage to drink with them to school on Thursday.  We will be eating yummy walking tacos and having some fun to celebrate.  If your child did not master his/her facts, they will work on something else during this time.  Sorry....it won't be as fun.

Our Hall of Fame presentations will be next Tuesday, May 17th, from 2:30-3:15 in the Discovery Center (library).  Students need to have their costumes to school by Monday, May 16th, for a dress rehearsal.  I will also be sending their oral presentations home this week to practice every night.  Please encourage them to practice a lot, working towards memorizing their presentations the best they can.  We will also be sharing our Animoto book trailers (I know some of you have seen them already at home.  Aren't they cool?). Hope to see you next Tuesday from 2:30-3:15.  Stop in anytime as it is kind of like a "come and go" event.  :)

We are finishing up a unit in social studies this week so look for study materials to come home towards the end of the week with the assessment to be next Monday or Tuesday.  A note will be sent home with the materials to let you know exactly.  I just want to give you a "heads up" to be looking.

Enjoy the week and warm weather!
