Teachers Notes:

I hope that you are having a wonderful weekend and getting to enjoy this beautiful weather. For the last few days of school we are popping 1 balloon each day and getting something special for that day. On Tuesday we will be having a camping day; please send your student in with their favorite book for them to read and a small stuffy. Don't tell them why they need it since they will find out what is happening when they get to school! Thank you! If your student has a summer birthday, please email me and give me a day you would like to celebrate with the class. Any day works except for the 7th and 16th as we will be having field day and our field trip on those days. We will still be working on Fastbridge testing this week so please continue to help your student get a good nights rest and a healthy breakfast. On Monday, I will be sending home reminders about the field trip and if you have not yet turned in your slip on weather you are able to drive or if your student will need a ride please get that to me no later then this Friday! I could not do this job with out all your support and I am so grateful for all that you do! Thank you for your continued support! I hope that you have an amazing week!
