April 30th- News Letter


Parents and Students,

As the end of the year is quickly approaching, we have A LOT of stuff going on!! I know that this is a bit of a crazy time for everyone. Therefore, I will not be sending home homework assignments or spelling words for the remainder of the year.  (I know the kiddos will be so upset J) However, I still encourage you to review your child’s work and discuss what we are learning in class.

Important reminders:
·         Please send in permission slips for our field trip to Chaney’s as soon as possible (deadline is Wednesday)
·         Library books need to be turned in by May 18th.
·         All lunch balances should be paid in full before the last day of school.

Mark your calendars:
·         May 1st- HES PTO night at Zaxby’s
·         May 7th- Talent show tryouts (K-2nd) at 2:30- Students will need a note to stay after school.
·         May 15th- Field trip to Chaney’s (if weather permits)
·         May 21st- Talent Show
·         May 22nd- No School- Election Day
·         May 23rd- Field Day
·         May 24th- Kindergarten Graduation at 8:15

Also, (if we can get it together in time) I would like to have our students to do a class performance in the talent show. I need ideas from some of our creative parents!! Also, would anyone be able to volunteer or help with costumes? Let me know what you think!

Math Time!!
We week we will finish up even and odd numbers (asked them to show you their song.. it’s cute). We will also start a unit on telling time.

Reading

·         This week we will discuss derby week!! Each day, we will pair up with a first grade class to create derby crafts and activities. On Friday, we will have a stick horse race and draw horses for the derby race.
Thought of the Week:
Your children will become what you are.. so be what you want them to be J

Earth Day!

The students had such an awesome time celebrating Earth day. They created self portraits by using recycled materials.


Later, we planted "Mr. Harry's".. Let's hope they grow hair!



At the end of the day, we celebrated by eating "dirt pudding, earthworms, and bug juice"!!




Easter

I am WAYYY overdue for an update.. weve had quite a bit of excitment since my last blog post!
First, I have recently been proposed to :)



We have also celebrated Easter with an egg hunt and a Sundae party. Thank you all for sending in party supplies! We had a blast!
