Week of April 25th

Thank you so much to everyone who came to one of our woodlands presentations. The kids had a great time and I'm so proud of all of the work they have done on their reports. We need to take some more pictures today so I will send stuffed animals home after school. Their reports will come home on the last day of school in their scrapbooks.

We will be having library check-out on Wednesday instead of today due to a scheduling change.

We will have homework 8.8 Monday, 8.9 Tuesday, and 9.1 on Thursday.

Our music program is this Thursday at 2:50 in the gym.

Thank you for all that you do for your children. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Week of April 18th

• This is a big week for us in our classroom. We will be presenting our woodlands and our woodland animal reports on Thursday and Friday. We are working hard to get our reports finished and published and ready to go by Thursday night.


• In order to try to accommodate as many schedules as possible, we are going to present our woodland animal reports twice on Thursday. We will be presenting at 6:30 pm on Thursday, April 21st, just after the Kernels reading program meeting. Our 4th grade buddies will be coming for a special presentation the next day, Friday, April 22nd at 1:00pm, just before the early dismissal. If you are unable to attend the Thursday night presentation, you are welcome to come to the Friday presentation with our buddies. Both presentations will be held in our classroom, and all family members are invited to come.


• As part of finishing up our woodlands we are in need of some woodland animals to add to the landscape we have already created. I will be sending home a list of woodland animals in student blue folders today. If students have any stuffed animals that are on the list they are asked to bring them to school starting tomorrow to add to our woodlands. If possible, please put student names on the stuffed animals. Smaller stuffed animals will be best for our woodlands, our trees are only about as tall as our students, so extra large or oversized stuffed animals will not work.


• We will have homework 8.3 on Monday, 8.5 on Tuesday and 8.6 on Wednesday.


• If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible on Thursday, April 21st, at 6:30pm or on Friday, April 22nd, at 1:00pm.

Week of April 11th

This week we will have homework 8.1 on Monday, 8.1 (cont) on Tuesday, and 8.2 on Wednesday. Also a note to let you know that we won't check out this week until Wednesday morning. We will be painting the trees and bushes that we made last week on Tuesday (tomorrow). Please send your child to school in clothes that can get paint on them, or with a paint shirt that they can wear over their clothing. Reminder that the spring pictures and fundraiser were due today. If you did not already send them back, please do so tomorrow. Thank you, and as always, let me know if you have any questions.

Week of April 4th

This week we will have homework 7.4 on Monday and 8.1 on Tuesday. I also wanted to remind everyone that the newsletter sent home last week has the date and time for our upcoming music program. It is on April 28th at 2:45. (The time is listed as both 2:45 and 2:50 in the newsletter.) I am looking for some volunteers to help us build trees and bushes for our woodlands project. If you are available this week on Thursday the 7th or next week on Tuesday the 12th from 2:15 to 3:30 or so please let me know. The more help we have the better. :)
