Exciting Week!
We are winding up for winding down. Thanks to those of you who gave the kids time to do their Social Studies projects over the weekend.
This week is crazy busy!
The bullying assessment is tomorrow so if you don't want your student to participate, make sure you get those green forms back to me by tomorrow.
Open House is this Wednesday. Come check out some completed projects and hang out with me from 6:30 to 8:00. You can bring the kids.
The kids are going to the Junior High this Thurs for the tour. It was fun to anticipate next year when the counselor came to visit us here.
International Games field trip is still cancelled at this point. I now only need 2 more drivers to make it work. Let me know if you can do it.
No School on Monday!
Homework this week:
Reading Logs on Friday
Science: on Thursday, students need to show me evidence that they have done some research on their endangered species
Vocab every night:
Dappled
Defiant
Deliberate
Delirious
Destitute
Disoriented
Detrimental
Diverse
Devine
Dramatic
Have a great week!

Happy Elevensees!
Things are starting to wind down in our room. We are finishing testing this week. Thanks for the perfect attendance today. We have to submit the tests on Wednesday so having everyone here today and tomorrow is key.
Call for prizes: We have decided on a new positive discipline system that is working really well but... we are pretty much out of classroom funds and I need to give out prizes at the end of the year. I would love to reuse any toys that you have at home that you don't need anymore. Bring them in! Nothing worth over $5.
Couple of really important things coming up:
Field Trips: We have 2 big field trips coming up next week on Thurs and Friday. I need drivers for Friday for the trip to International Games but not on Thurs. Please let me know if you can drive.
I need the PERMISSION FORMS back as soon as possible. They came home in the Friday Folders.
The volunteer tea is this wednesday . Come and get appreciation if you volunteer or express appreciation to those that do. It will be a fun afternoon.
Open House is next Wednesday the 20th at 6:30.
Still waiting on a lot of the Junior High Registration packets. They need to be in to me by tomorrow or else you will be responsible for going to the Junior High yourself to register for next year.
We have a big project due on Monday, a week from today. The students were given a choice on art projects for Social studies. They have to complete 3 by Monday. I have encouraged them to work on them over a long period of time but they seem to have procrastination fever with the spring. They don't have much homework this week because of testing so you should encourage them to do them all this week.
Homework this week:
Math: Thurs: Ch 7 review. Ch 7 test on Friday.
Reading Log: Due Friday
Scholastic News: Due Friday
Social Studies: Choice Boards (3 projects) due Monday, the 18th
Trimester 3 Speeches: Endangered species power points May 27, 28, 29

Change to homework this week... and Junior High forms
Two things:
The math homework has changed a bit... Tues homework is 7.2.5 and 7.4.1 and Tonights homework (Thurs) is only 7.4.2
I sent home reg packets for Junior High. These are very important and need to be completed by Tues. I dont have any extras so make sure you get them from the students before they lose them.

Testing! Yikes!
Lots of news and updates:
We are doing our Language Arts Testing this week (hopefully Tues and Wed). I say hopefully because we had A LOT of kids out sick today so I may postpone if a lot are out tomorrow. I wanted to give a couple tips for testing. Make sure your students get enough rest the night before, a protein filled breakfast and are hydrated. No sugary foods or drinks right before. We will be taking it easy right after the tests and homework is very light this week. We are going to take a week off of testing next week and then do the Math on Monday the 11th and Tues the 12th.
We have couple important dates coming up:
*Wednesday May 6 at 12:30 (next wednesday) we are having a Planning meeting for the end of the year beach day and the promotion ceremony. We are encouraging all parents to help out with these.
*Thursday May 7 at 7pm is the Junior High parent information night.
*Wednesday May 13th is the Volunteer tea. Gives us a chance to honour all the wonderful parents that help out in our rooms.
*Wednesday May 20 6:30 is Open House.
*Thurs May 21 is the field trip to the Junior High
*Friday May 22 is International Games Field trip. Please let me know if you can drive for it and have your paperwork in the office for driving.
*Tuesday June 2 is the end of year Beach day celebration.
*Wednesday June 3 is the Promotion Ceremony. Not sure on the time.
*June 6 is last day of school.
Homework this week is very light:
Math: Monday 7.2.1, Thurs 7.2.2
No Vocabulary
Reading Logs: read every night, Reading logs on Friday
Scholastic News due Friday.
Wow. That was a lot. Hope the next month isn't too overwhelming. Happy May Day.
