Whew!!!! That Was A Very Busy Week....

Last week was so busy that we are going to have a redo this week on some of the things I didn't get to last week.  We will still be working on the letter Uu and last week's word walls words.  We will hold off on the letter Xx until next week.

The first four days of this week will be purposely quiet and calm as we get back into the routine of learning.  However, Friday afternoon is set aside for the final Room 115 Crafternoon.  Please contact the room mothers if you can assist.  They have a babysitter lined up for younger siblings so take advantage of an enjoyable time with your student.  The theme is Cinco De Mayo.  Thanks for going out of your way to make Room 115 a fun place to work and play.

Look for April's calendar pages to come home on Tuesday.  It is hard to believe that we say goodbye to April on Monday.

The library is having a book fair this week.  Children can bring money any day through Friday.  We will be going as a class on Monday afternoon to look and purchase if anyone has money.  Monday is the only day I will be with the children as they shop.  Remember from the fall book fair that there is items for sell not related to books that children find  glamorous and enticing.  Please discuss with your child if he/she is allowed to make purchases other than books.  You are welcome to take your child down to the book fair and shop together.

There will be no library this week but children can still take AR tests and check out new books. I will be discussing with the children this week that my expectations are changing and  that they should be taking at least two AR tests a week.

Nancy's Italian Ice is Monday for $1.00.

Blount Elementary is getting ready to have a blood drive for parents.  We will be attending a really cool science lesson on Tuesday about blood.  Don't worry the American Red Cross uses Kool-Aid as a demonstration.  Information will be coming home this week about the blood drive.  I hope your schedule will allow you to participate in this life saving event.

Field Day was so much fun.  I know my daughter was exhausted on Friday evening so I imagine your Kindergartener was too.  Thanks for all the volunteers from Room 115 that volunteered for a shift or came out to cheer for us.


There will be a sheet of paper in Monday's binder talking about a special year end project.  This is different than the Mother's Day Secret. Let me know if you have any questions about this project that is just as secretive as our Mother's Day project.

Remember to put Friday, June 1 on your calendar at 9:00.  We will be having a Kindergarten End of the Year Program in the lunchroom with the other Kindergarten classes.  You will not want to miss it.  Then please join us immediately after the program in Room 115 as we celebrate the year.  It will be crowded in Room 115 but as long as you know about it beforehand, it won't bother you.  You should be able to get back to work by 11:00.

Contact me with any questions or concerns you may have.
