Team Mindcrafters Daily Updates - 5-29-16

Parents,

Testing - Students put forth a terrific effort on the state tests this week!  Most of the kids seemed pretty positive about how they did.  I think this reflects on how well they did learning the curriculum this year.  Way to go, students!

Spring Pictures - Coming home today are your child's spring pictures.  This is a reminder that these pictures were not preordered.  You are welcome to purchase some (or all) of them, or simply return them to school with your child.

Today was our last day with Miss Schnee.  It was sad for us to let her go, but we are very thankful for the time we had together and excited for her and her new teaching job in South Carolina.  Attached are a couple class pictures with her.

Reminders:

• Return permission slips for inflatables (Fun Fest)
  
• Permission slips for Talent show are due Wednesday
• Book orders for Right to Read Week
• Return Spring pictures or Spring picture orders

Upcoming events:

• May 10-12 - Muffins with Moms

Parents,

Testing - Tomorrow is our LAST state test!  The students have been working very hard, and we are very proud of their efforts.  One more to go:)

Spring Pictures - Coming home today are your child's spring pictures.  This is a reminder that these pictures were not preordered.  You are welcome to purchase some (or all) of them, or simply return them to school with your child.

Tonight's Homework - Students have been working on review crossword puzzles using their DIY notebooks we have been making this year in Social Studies.  I would like for students to complete these for homework, but for some students, this may require more time than we typically expect for homework.  If they don't finish, please just write a quick note on their crossword letting me know they worked for at least 30 minutes.

Field Trip Permission Slips.  These have gone home and need to come back as soon as possible.

Toy donations.  We don't have enough toys currently to do the "Toy Take Apart" activity in Science, so if you still have some of these you' like to donate, please send them in this week.

Bike Hike - Bike Hike is May 20.  If your child hasn't already dusted off their bike, now is a good time.  Also, a helmet is required to participate.  We were just informed of an opportunity to get a helmet through the Village of Whitehouse.  See this link for details. 

Save the Date! - We will be taking a field trip to Fort Meigs on May 19.  We will need chaperones to help with this trip.  More information will come home later, but we wanted to give you plenty of time to clear your schedule if you wanted to join us.  We will need chaperones to meet us at Fort Meigs from 9:30-1:15.  The cost is $3 for parent chaperones.  There will be no cost for the students.  Again, paperwork will be coming home soon that will give you a chance to let us know if you are interested.
