Important News!
Lots of information this week. Please read!
Our awards ceremony is TUESDAY, MAY 23 @ 10:55. The kids will perform songs that Mr. Cobb has been working on with them. Then everyone will get at least 2 awards (academic and fun). Finally we will have some time for you to take pictures with your kids and us or their friends. You definitely don't want to miss this. :) You'll want to fill out the fast pass information that was sent home last week and return that. It was on orange card stock. We will send your stickers home the day before. If you have to sign in through the office, you will want to come a bit early.
The end of year party is THURSDAY, MAY 25 @ 10:00. The fast passes for this event were on the same orange page as the ones for the awards ceremony. Please help us prepare for our party by signing up to bring something or help here. We do not have an official early release, but you will be able to check your child out at the end of the party.
If you have any leveled readers or library books, please return them asap. You might just want to do a look through your house to see if you have any.

Reminder Information
We know this information doesn't typically change, but please read again as a refresher. :)
Please send a dry, nut free, healthy snack daily. While we are more than happy to provide snacks when your child (or you) forget, the snacks we provide are purchased by us (not the school) and sometimes other parents. It can get really expensive when we provide for 5-10 children per class daily. Our lunch time isn't until 12:45. The time between breakfast and lunch is a long stretch, so it is imperative that we have a morning snack.
Donations needed: Dixie cups - We encourage everyone to bring a water bottle because we don't have water fountains in our classrooms or hall. However, sometimes things go wrong with those water bottles or they are left at home. Having dixie cups in the classroom helps with water breaks.
We are so glad that so many of you are joining us for lunch. Please remember to sit at the first long table when you first walk in the cafeteria. We have tables reserved for each class, one is a peanut free table, and the small round tables are used as a special reward for our students. When you come to eat with your child, we also ask that you have them continue to follow the grade level rules. Please do not allow your child to go to the bathroom without a teacher knowing. We always want to know where the kids are in case of an emergency. Thank you for helping us with this.
