Wow!  It's hard to believe that there are only 26 days of school left!  There is still so much I want to teach and share with your precious children and time is running out.  I am definitely ready physically for summer...sleeping late is something I loooove, but mentally I am just not ready to let my babies go!!

On Friday, May 10th you will need to check in at the office before coming to the gym for our Mother's Day Celebration.  We will begin promptly at 8, so please arrive before 7:45.  Don't forget to bring your kleenex!! 

Talent Show information came home yesterday on a blue sheet.  If your child is trying out, I must have the permission slip.

Also yesterday a form came home with a request for pictures.  Please email Lisa Watson (or send your photos to me) of your child in Kindergarten and one from this year.  It doesn't need to be a school picture.  The pictures will be put into a slide show that will be played at the Award's Ceremony.

Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week.  Students have been asking me what I would Iike.  Please NO Kit Kats.  I love them, but I have sooo many in my freezer from Valentine's Day.  I will deeply appreciate gift cards to restaurants, stores or the movies.  Also, the following supplies would be appreciated:
markers
glue sticks
Astrobright paper
pack of CD's (to burn pictures on)

Kindergarten registration is this week.  If you know of any up and coming kindergartner's please have the parents register this week!
