Weekly Update May 15-19

Dear Families,
 
We have a very busy week planned! Hopefully you received the message our Mission Project due date has been extended to Monday, May 22, in honor of Mother's Day! I hope you and your beautiful children enjoy the day together! 
 
We have been busy preparing for our play, "Gold Dust or Bust", and we will be performing for our families on Wednesday, May 17 at 6:00 p.m. in the MPR. Please have your child meet us in Ms. Schwartz's classroom, #21, in costume, at 5:45 p.m. (Reminder for costumes: blue jeans and a plain t-shirt in a color that would have been available in the 1800's or plaid shirt. Please no logos on shirts. Girls are welcome to wear skirts, blouses, and bonnets.) We look forward to performing for you!
 
We will enjoy our field trip to Coloma on Thursday, May 18. Thank you to all the parents who have volunteered to join us on this very special trip. We now have enough parents joining us, so THANK YOU!
 
Our regular homework schedule begins again this week and we will be having a spelling test on Friday, May 19. (Unit 7.1 words)
 
Aide appreciation day is on Friday, May 19. We will be celebrating Mrs. Yoho and Mrs. Overmire. They have both been a wonderful help in our classroom this year and we are so grateful to have them! Mrs. Overmire comes in every Monday to read with our students and she helped them as they prepared for the Speech Contest. Mrs. Yoho works with our children daily and has helped them make amazing progress throughout the year. We love them both!
 
Looking ahead...  Our class will be visiting the Book Fair on Monday, May 22, from 12:30-1:00. Students may bring money in an envelope with their name written on it. 
 
Have a wonderful week!
