Reminders

• Make sure you are selling cookie dough this week. Kids only have a few days left, and packets have to be back on Monday April 13th.
• Please make sure to send in your family recipe. Some of the kids may have had some confusion whether they needed to bring in the actual food. We don't need you to make the recipe, just send in the written copy. We need these by April 17th please. Thanks for your help.
• Book orders are due April 24th.
• Please continue to send in your donations for our Green Galore basket. We still need a few more things to add. I have added a few things as well. Please get those in by April 24th.

Fundraiser Starts Today!

Today begins our PTC Cookie Dough Fundraiser. Packets went out today and included order forms, a parent letter, catalog and the prize brochure. The class discussed who is ok to sell to (no strangers), and how to be polite. Our PTC fund is getting pretty low, and with budgets the way that they are, our PTC may be needed more than ever. Please try to take some time to try and sell some products to family, friends, and coworkers. The food in the catalog is wonderful, and it can be a huge money-maker for the PTC. The top selling class, and the top participating class get a reward, so sell, sell, sell! Thanks for all of your help! And make sure to check out what's going on at MES on our new big screen in the front hall. PTC purchased that, and made it possible for staff to share what we're doing here with kids. The fundraiser will run from April 3rd through APril 13th, with products being delivered on April 21st. Have a great weekend!

April Newsletter

Here is our April newsletter. It came home today, along with a bunch of other stuff. Please make sure you go through backpacks tonight. Have a great weekend!

Our New Reading Library

Here are a few pictures of our new library/reading area. You can definitely tell this is new to our class because the kids flock there! We are still working on actually getting reading done there, and not just socializing. I'm sure we'll enjoy our cozy, and special place to read. Do you have someplace special and cozy at home to read? This can really help to motivate kids to read.

Vote for Ben!

Water Cycle Song

Here is the rough cut from our Water Cycle Song. Thanks for all your help with learning the song. I will be adding some things to it, and you will soon be able to see it on the tv in the front hall of our school. The kids really did a great job, and they all know the water cycle!

Hello April!

Welcome back! We have had a great time returning to school after spring break. I'm actually quite impressed with how well the kids have done after such a big break. A few things to remind you about:
1. Don't forget out PTC Basket BINGO theme of GREEN. We have had a few great donations, but still need much, much more! Thanks to those who have already donated.
2. Snack notices went home today. We have a negative snack balance, and not enough snack to get through the remainder of the year. If you get one, please make sure to send in your snack money asap!
3. We have a wonderful new library/reading area! I am still looking for donations of bean bags, or even someone to make them if I supply the materials. Let me know if you can help!
4. Please make sure you are checking backpacks every day. It will be a busy spring, so make sure you keep up! ;-)
