Splash Day Fun !

As you can see in the pictures, the students had lots of fun during Splash Day.  I am so proud of the students that put forth the effort to read, read, read to meet the 4th grade goal!!







Don't forget that our Award's Ceremony is on Tuesday from 9:45 - 11:15.   I hope you will be able to attend this special day!

Students who ordered a yearbook will receive it today.  We will have a yearbook signing day on Tuesday afternoon.  Students will need to bring their yearbook and a Sharpie marker.  Students may also BRING their orange class shirt if they want their fourth grade friends to sign it.  Students will need to wear regular uniform dress. 

We will have early release at 12:45 on Wednesday and Thursday.

Have a fabulous rest of the week and looooong weekend!!

Chocolate overload!

Wow, I've never had so many Kit Kat bars! Thank you so much for all of the sweets today. I love the candy bars AND the bundt cakes. I also got a slice of cheesecake and a case of Diet Coke with lime earlier in the week. I will treasure all the sweet notes the kids have given me all week . Thank you also for the generous and abundant supplies that were sent yesterday. I sincerely appreciate all of your generosity! I looooove your children and adore them so very much!
We will have field day on Monday.
The kids have been working hard on Mother's Day surprises... I hope all the moms have a special day!
I am glad that I will be able to be with my wonderful mother. She has been living in Louisiana since November taking care of my grandmother. My precious grandmother went to Heaven last Saturday , so I our whole family will be in Shreveport this weekend for the funeral.

Relay Race pictures

We had both our boys and our girls come in third place today.  Everyone was a good sport about not getting to run on the track.  All my runners expressed that it was just not the same as running on the track.






Avery and Alyssa are my sweet girls that I taught 2 years ago.  They came to cheer on their brothers.
I looooove see former students!!

Relay Races this Friday

The relay races are this Friday at 8:00.  If you are attending, plan to be here early...parking will be an issue.

On Thursday we will be conducting a bird beak investigation.  We are learning about animal adaptations in Science.  We will need to borrow a few supplies.  Please send in pliers, tweezers, baggie of birdseed, clothes pins, and gummy worms.  If you send in the pliers or tweezers, they WILL be returned to you.  Please label them well.  Please send in the supplies tomorrow or Wednesday. (students will receive a fuzzy for bringing in science supplies)

Many students brought home a KIVA news application.  These are due on Friday, May 4th.  Students will also have an opportunity to try out for Safety Patrol.  These will be coming home at a later date.  Students will need to choose either KIVA or Safety Patrol.  They may not be on both.  They may try out for both, but will have to choose one of them to be on if they are accepted.

Field Day is on May 11th.  Please let Coach Rice know if you will be able to volunteer that day.

Teacher Appreciation is next week.  The students brought home a small flyer today in their Dolphin Folder with suggestions for each day.

Also in today's Dolphin folder students brought home a green Talent Show application.  Applications are due on May 4th.  The Talent Show will be on May 22nd.
