Nitty-Gritty

• Frontline
• Don't forget to finish up your EP documents.  I will be going over these documents over the weekend.  If you need help, let me know!

• Last Day of School
• After thinking about the day, I decided that we are going to put the assembly after the movie.  This way any student winners' prizes/certificates will not be with them for the whole movie and everyone can take the materials back to their classroom prior to lunch/recess. Also, you can share with students the lunch plan for the day. Please click HERE to see the updated schedule. The supervisory schedule for paras is HERE. Please pay close attention to the schedule as there are some changes from previous early releases.

Field Day on Tuesday!

Here is the final (I think - lol) schedule for field day. A printed copy is also in your mailbox. 

Tuesday is going to be hot. Please encourage your students to wear sunscreen and bring a water bottle. Patti is also posting on DoJo for us.

There will be a calm zone in the gymnastics area where students can go to take a break if the competition is getting to be too much. Any student can use the calm zone at any time (with teacher permission). It is not a rotation.

Friday Funny

I usually think I have okay technology skills, but this one part of my phone always confuses me. No matter what I do, I never get this right. So instead, I now just let it go on and on until it stops on it's own! :-)
