We started our end of year assessments today, which will probably run through the rest of this week. I will be compiling notebooks for the kids with their data as well as recommendations for summer work. We will review these notebooks during our parent-teacher conferences May 13-17. Please check your email for a Sign-Up Genius invitation and select a time to meet.
I want to send out a huge thank you to Tammy Banas, Donna Cumby and Bridget Johnson for planning our Easter egg hunt and party! I know we were the envy of the school, especially with those amazing Easter Bunny baskets! I was also super proud of our group's performance in Beauty and the Beast. I received multiple compliments on our class' behavior and enthusiasm!
There are a lot of school-wide events planned this month. Family Fun Day is a chance to bring your family on campus to have a picnic lunch. This is a very casual event, and there is no real structured schedule for the afternoon. The awards ceremony is the last day of school and is held at St. Mary's (where the play was). This is a great closure to the school year. During this time we will show video snapshots taken throughout the year, and all of the kids will receive a certificate for their achievements.
Important Dates:
- 5/6- Our last field trip to the library (this a Monday not the usual Thursday). We will not check out books.
- 5/8 (possible rain date of 5/9)- Field trip to Ingrams Strawberry Farm. We plan on arriving at the farm at 9:00 and staying through lunch. All kids will need to bring a bagged lunch this day. Parents are welcome to meet us at the farm.
