Week of May 16th

I can't believe this is the last post of this school year! Time really does fly!  So glad we had such a great family turnout this past Friday.  Your kids were anxious all day about it!  It meant a lot that you came. :) Well this week, I will basically be babysitting! Ha! We will be doing a variety of things from Haircut Day on our grassheads, making memory books, and spending time with our kindergarten buddies to watching a movie, cleaning the classroom, and having Grizzly Day!  It should be a fun last week of school!  As I stated before, I will miss your sweet babies.  I wish them many blessings and lots of happiness!


Tuesday will be our auction!  The children have been working towards this day all year.  Some of them have managed to save a lot of money, and some not so much, but everyone will get something! :)  Many of the children were debt free which met they were able to buy their desks and not pay rent which enabled them to save more each month.  A couple even managed to buy someone else's desk! Some children saved more each month because they didn't purchase much at the class store.  I also gave bonus bucks for test scores that were a C or better.  I gave bonus money to those children that went above and beyond what was required as well.  Accelerated Reading earned $1 per AR point.  Briley came in first in AR with a whopping 657 points, so she will get $657!  Wow Briley! Congratulations!  Roy came in second with 262 points! Good Job Roy! Cooper came in third with 188, Shelby O. with 186 and Sydney with 165! Super work Cooper, Shelby and Sydney!  I had over half the class earn over 100 AR points this year!  I am so proud of all my kiddos though because all of them either met our class reading goal or the individual goal I set for them! Another way to earn bonus bucks was to do spelling enrichment and participate in the Brainiac Club.  In spelling enrichment, Jack takes 1st place with 182 points!  He will earn $182! Awesome Jack!  Ellie takes 2nd with 169 points and Kayla takes 3rd with 149 points!  Super job Ellie and Kayla!  Brennan, Shelby O. and Roy participated as well and will be earning bonus bucks too! I'm proud of you!  As for the Brainiac Club, Jaycee takes top honor with completing 24 mini assignments! I am giving double bonus points for the Brainiac Club, so Jaycee will earn $48! You rock Jaycee!  Other participants were Jack, Shelby O., Ellie, Lexi, Cooper, Ben and Sydney!  Good job kids for going above and beyond what was expected!

Wednesday will be the school awards assembly.  Awards will be given out by the librarian for AR, the P.E. teachers for Little Olympics, and the music teacher for Tri-State.

Thursday(weather permitting) will be Grizzly Day, so be sure and send your child to school in play clothes and shoes. 

Friday will be a Game and Feed.  Your child can bring a game to school (electronic is allowed too) as well as a snack and drink.  That's about all.  :) Have a terrific summer!!  I will see you next year!
