How to Eat Fried Worms

Military Child Day is Monday

Today I salute this great dad that is currently deployed and serving our great Country.  We have several Military families in Room 124 and I believe each family we have has experienced this at least once, and some multiple times.  The price you pay is tremendous.  From the bottom of our hearts, we say thank you to you and your amazing families.  You are all heros!

We Salute You!!!

In Honor of Military Child Day your child may wear a purple t-shirt Monday, April 22nd.  We have a very special guest coming Tuesday to share with us more about our Military. 

The Book Fair will be at Blount April 25th - May 2nd. 

Your child brought home our last field trip information Friday. 

This Thursday is Field Day.  If I have a parent that is coming and would like to bring a cooler with waters please email me.  One water for each child would be plenty to keep us hydrated. 

Please check your child's binder nightly.  We have so many things going on at the end of the year.  I don't want you to miss anything. 

Remember that I have to have a written excuse from you if your child is absent.  The office can't turn in emails that we print out anymore as an excuse. 

Your child has a new Spelling list for Unit 6 Week 1.  We will have a pre-test on these words Monday. 

Our classroom supply of pencils is completely gone.  Please make sure your child has plenty of pencils for their day.  They may sharpen them before the bell rings each morning.

Doughnuts For Dads this Week

This Tuesday and Wednesday is Doughnuts for Dads.  Tuesday is for last names A-L and Wednesday is for last names M-Z.

A great big thank-you to Mrs. Bailey for providing us with "worms" for our writing project.  We are having so much fun with the book How to Eat Fried Worms.  I will post pictures next week once we have finished our project.  A little secret for you to share with your child -

 Even Mrs. Green likes Fried Worms!

 

 

This week we will not have a spelling test.  This is our end of the unit review and test week.  

 

Your child will have a review sheet for Math and we will test Tuesday.  This has been an extremely easy chapter on measurement.  Please make sure your child is comfortable with the review. 

 

Please don't forget that if your chld is absent I have to have a written excuse from you to give to the office.  We are no longer able to print out emails and send them in for an excuse. 

 

Have a super week and email me with any questions. 

 

 

 



Caterpillars & A Visit From Nana

Pure Excitement in Room 124!

I know you've already heard all about them, but our caterpillars are here and we could not be more excited! If you'd like to come in before school and meet your child's new pet you are welcome to.  We are going to be pretty excited tomorrow to see how much they have eaten and grown over the weekend.  They were quite small when we got them.  I have loved watching your children talk to their caterpillar and take care of it.  The funniest thing I have seen so far was when a student told me that she had taught her caterpillar commands.  Then she proceeded to show me how well her caterpillar obeys as she tapped the side of her cup and told her caterpillar to "Fall Down!"  :)  I sure do love spending my day with your children!

Don't forget the PTA meeting Monday, April 8th at 6:00.
