This is the last week of school. There are many events going on, along with wrapping up all our academics. Kids will be dismissed on Friday at noon. I can't believe the year is already over!
The awards assembly will be this Tuesday at 9 am. BUG and Terrific kids awards will be given out. The Bobcat award will also be given out. I have texted you if your child is receiving an award(s) from me. Please feel free to come cheer them on!
Each year, I ask parents and students to have a discussion at home about school supplies. We have a community school supply area in our classroom that allows kids that need something to borrow it. This is a HIGHLY used area, probably by your child at one or more times throughout the year. I ask that you discuss and decide if you would be willing to donate your end of the year school supplies to this area for next year's students. If you have your child save their supplies for the following year, that is great. But, if they end up lost or in the trash and you always purchase new ones in the fall, please consider allowing your child to donate them to me. We are always in need of calculators, glue sticks, pencils, markers, colored pencils, rulers, pretty much anything. Please make your decision by Wednesday night. We will be emptying our desks and art tubs on Thursday morning. Thank you for considering to PAY IT FORWARD! It really does make a difference in the classroom when kids don't have the needed supplies to do their work. Thanks.
This Tuesday, we will have our end of the year Sundae party. Kids may use their fake money to buy into this fun event. They will start by buying a bowl and spoon along with one scoop of ice cream. They may then add toppings of their choice for an additional cost. Yummy!
This Wednesday, the kids will be watching HOOT with Mrs. Anderson in the library. They may buy concessions with their fake money. They may NOT bring drinks or snacks from home.
This Thursday, the kids will be watching the movie Miracle in the classroom. Love, love, love this movie as it just wraps up the BELIEVE theme I have tried to install all year long with the kids. Again, snacks may be purchased with fake money.
A Happy Summer Birthday to Austin! Thanks for the delicious dirt cake treats. They even had a yummy worm in them. Elijah, Alyssa, and Alexis will celebrate theirs this week. Happy Birthday to all!
Above, you will see the slideshow from the ranch field trip. We learned a ton! It was fun to see all of our hard work in MT History and Riding Freedom book come to life. If you watch it with your child write RANCH in the planner for $20 on Tuesday.
Wiffle Ball has been great fun! Minus a few issues, the class has done an excellent job showing great sportsmanship and character. All week I have been watching the entire class closely to see who demonstrated it on a consistent basis all week long. Two students were on the fence cheering on both sides of the game and even then teachers that were pitching. They were sincere in their efforts, and they never sat down in my sight. They were very, very involved with the game. They also threw the ball to other teammates rather than making the play themselves. They rotated to new positions like asked instead of playing the same position over and over again. They tried their best, and they encouraged everyone else too as well. They just overall did a great job on the field. So, Alexis and Evan will go up against the staff on Tuesday in the Staff vs. Character Kids Final Game. It will be at 1:00 if you want to come watch. We play on the actual fields behind the school. The alternate will be Olivia in case Evan or Alexis is absent. Great job kids!
I will blog up to Thursday. The blog will never be erased by me, so hopefully even ten years from now kids can go back to it like a yearbook. :0)
Have a wonderful rest of your Memorial Weekend, and we shall see you on Tuesday morning!
