April 16, 2015


        Dear Parents,

        The kids did a FANTASTIC job yesterday!!!  They were focused, read each questions carefully, and double checked their answers.  We were so proud of all of our students!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

       Please remember to have your child here on time after a good breakfast on Monday when we continue the Milestones.  It is stressful to the kids if they come in and are rushed and, if they are too late, they will miss taking the Milestones with our class and will have to stay in the Media Center.  :(  We will not be sending homework home over the next two weeks so that the kids get lots of time to rest and refresh after school, but your child can always review on www.brainpop.com, www.studyjams.scholastic.com, Tumblebooks, and IXL, and iReady.

         Yesterday afternoon our field trip forms for the Fernbank Museum and the IMAX movie "Humpback Whales" went home.  We will be going on 5/7 and are asking for a $22 donation to help us cover the cost of this trip.  Usually we collect funds at the beginning of the year, but this year we did not.  Ms. Johnson wanted us to collect funds closer to the actual field trip dates.  Thanks in advance for your contributions!

         Also, picture packets went home yesterday as well.  If you like your child's photos, please follow the directions on the envelope and send your money in by the deadline.  If you would rather not purchase the photos, please send the packets back in and we will return them to the company.

       Finally, today I'm sending home information on Mercer University's College for Kids summer programs.  They offer a Budding Writers and Math Wizards course that truly rock!  My daughter participated in the writing program two-years ago and still talks about it.  They are also very helpful so if your child is interested, but you have some doubts, call anyway and ask about your concerns.  They may be able to help you.

       Thanks for all of your support!!
