Thank you for an amazing week! I enjoyed all my thoughtful cards and notes, the yummy snacks, generous gifts and special school supplies for our classroom. You all sure know how to make a teacher feel very special and appreciated!
Thank you to the 2nd grade PTA parents for the delicious lunch today. I always enjoy the PTA Friday Feasts!
For an upcoming activity, we are asking that each child bring in a heavy, white poster board (28 inches by 22 inches) by next Friday, April 17th. You won’t you believe what we have in store for you at Open House!
Speaking of Open House, the fourth grade students and I are excited to invite you to our classroom Wednesday afternoon, May 6, from 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm. Your favorite fourth grader will be ready to show you some of the great work that she/he has been doing this year! Please come for a short visit to cheer your child's hard work, and show your appreciation for all she/he has learned in Fourth Grade. We look forward to seeing you here!
Next week, is our Spring Book Fair. Our class will be viewing the books on Tuesday. Look for your child’s wish list in her/his Tuesday Folder. The book fair will stay open until 6:30 on Tuesday. As you are touring our hallways for Gallery Night, please stop by the library. Then head to the cafeteria at 6:30 pm for the PTA meeting and second grade performance of “Bugz”.
