Hoot, Hoot!

Hi there.

Field trip is Thursday (in two days) for sure! Rain or shine, we will go.

Tomorrow afternoon, the kids will watch the movie Hoot in the library. This book was read aloud to them and fits perfectly with our animal unit and our save the environment studies. Kids will be offered concession snacks to buy with their fake money. They may NOT bring their own. I still have kids that have NOT bought into the movie. They will stay back with me and do an alternate assignment related to the topic. Is this your child??? Ask them. Write YES or NO in the planner as to if your child has bought in and will be joining us in the movie.

Grades are becoming final throughout the week. If you would like to view them earlier than the report card, please see online version. Note that I am not completely done with them, and won't be until next Monday. There are still grades to be added.

Report cards will be handed out as the kids leave school next Friday (last day), which is a half day. I am not allowed to give them out early. If you are going to be gone, you will need to pick them up int he office after the last day of school from Mrs. Zimmerman. I would call first, as she may not have regular school hours on those days.

The Subway extra bonus buy in has been changed to pizza at school due to time limits. The kids agreed that pizza, pop, and a DQ treat is a better option. Therefore, we will NOT be leaving campus. If your child is included in this special reward, they brought home a permission slip yesterday and bought in for $2000. They had to have at least $3000 to even be considered! Way to go!!!!

Next Friday, is our bike field trip to Hawthorne Park. Please make sure their bikes and helmets are in working order by then. Students that had extra bikes stood up in class the other day so if your child doesn't have a bike or a working bike, they know who to meet up with. It is THEIR responsibility. If they do not have a bike that day, they will be sent to an alternate placement for the day. Call me if you have questions please.

Have a wonderful evening.
