Social Studies - State research is due Tuesday. I am so proud of your children! This has been a big assignment.......... easy, but time consuming. They've had a month to do this assignment, and hopefully learned the all important skill of time management. I have about half the class done early! Great Job!! Most of the rest are 3/4 of the way done which is good too! A couple of kiddos have more to learn about this concept though. :0 They are going to have to really work hard over the next several days to get it done. Procastination hurts!! I totally understand life is busy. My daughter in 7th grade is still learning about procrastination and its effect, and how to balance extra curricular activities with school work. It's a tough concept to learn! They will get there with our help though! :)

The following pictures are examples of our next long term homework assignment. If your child is done with his/her state research, I will send home the directions for this project today. These are state floats! They are pretty cool to make and share! They are due on May 4th. Thanks for those that sent extra "pop" treats for our whole class! It was so generous of you!

Thanks too, to those who have volunteered to go to Leonardo's with us and signed up to donate an item for our auction! You are greatly appreciated! I honestly could not pull off all that I do without your help and support! Parents and teachers working together make all the difference in making memorable school years for our children! They deserve it!

We will be having a Parent's Day on May 7th at 1:30. We will be presenting a poetry powerpoint presentation! Each child will be creating a slide in the presentation to share. We will also have an Art Show and serve cookies and lemonade to you. Hopefully, you can make this special day!

We are out of kleenex, PLEASE HELP! Believe me, you don't want to be in a room with 23 children and NO KLEENEX! If you can pick up a box when you're at the store this weekend, it would be AWESOME!

I need your signed book order form on Monday. Even if you don't order a book, I have to have a signed note from you in order for not only your child to receive the free book, but for the company to do this free project for all of the children. Please don't forget to send the note back!

We are missing a Because of Winn Dixie book belonging to the library. Please, check to see if you accidently have it. You might check a backpack too.
