April 20-24

Love it. 

WOW! What a week last week! The children did such an amazing job. I am so proud of them. Also, thank you for all the donations and snacks. They were a highly anticipated part of our morning. 

We have a lot to do still this year. We will be completing a biography essay by next week. The biographical interview was due last Friday. Please check with your student to make sure it is completed there are quite a few missing. They need to interview a person who is special to them first, that is the homework portion. The students will be missing a recess each day it is not completed. 

We are going to go to the library to do research for our end of the year research project. The children are very excited about this because they can pick ANY topic they are interested in and want to learn about. I told them that this project is JUST like college because you get to study what you are interested in. We will walk around and explore the Riparian Preserve for the morning. Then eat our lunches together at the park area and head to the library for a couple of hours to learn how to use the resources there.  The field trip is Thursday April, 30th and all parents are invited. I do need chaperons but even if you wanted to meet us there for all or part of the field trip would be awesome! Permission slips will be sent home today and are due Thursday this week. The cost of the field trip is $4. 

YEARBOOKS- Yearbook orders will be completed online this year. The school nor I will be handling any money. If you would like to order one the link is www.treering.com/validate?PassCode=1014285297091457

You can even customize a page for your child! Orders are due April 26th

$1,000 party

You may have heard about our $1,000 party. This will be a culminating activity for our class and class money system. To attend the party each student must have $1,000 class money cash. It is a special party that I will have at my community pool in Agritopia. There are BBQ's there and I was hoping to make it a family fun event/potluck. It will be one of the last two weeks of school I haven't nailed a date down just yet. If your student has earned his/her way to the party you will be notified with your dinner assignment. I think it will be super fun! The kids are excited about it.
