Week 34: April 18, 2011

We have had some wonderful family members come to our classroom and be great speakers on different learning topics. The end of the school year is creeping up on us very quickly...but the learning is not over. We still have outstanding speakers coming to share their knowledge, exciting Ellis Island to be shared with our 6th graders, our field trip to Berry Patch farms, viewing our busy ants in their contained ant farm habitat, watching our pupa caterpillars grow and build their chrysalis around their body to begin the metamorphosis process and transform into a beautiful Painted Lady butterflies. And that's just the extras!

WEEK 33: APRIL 11, 2011

Unbelievable how the time is ticking away and our children are almost ready for next year. However, some habits need to still be refined. Please remind your child of the importance of always doing their best and turn in their work. Please look over the infinite campus gradebook with your child to see if he/she is missing any work that they have not turned in. Spring is in the air...and so is rambunctious behavior. Please remind your child that there is still important learning that needs to be accomplished. Thank you.

Please look over the weekly news section of this blog. There are important upcoming dates for you to be aware of.

In your Friday folders last week, information came home about the school board and the elections. Please review and let your voice be heard.

A big welcome goes out to our new student, Savannah Thomas and her family. They moved here from New Mexico and are a welcomed addition to our 2nd grade family.

FYI: I will be absent on Thursday, April 21st and Good Friday, April 22nd. My family and I will be out of the town for this special weekend participating in family traditions. Thank you for your understanding in advanced. :)
