April 30- May 4

It's almost here...the last day of school!  We are still busy finishing our units and meeting our grade level goals, even though we are counting the days.
 
We have completed the IRI testing, and I am proud to say that the class was amazing!  I am so proud of them.  Please review their sight words, as I will be testing ALL of the sight words given throughout the year, a total of 243!!!  We will be doing one more fluency test for the final grade on their report card.
They should have their math facts "fluent" up to 10, meaning that they can do 40 mixed addition/subtraction problems in 4 minutes to the number 10.  Please practice these facts with your child nightly.  Many are still below this expectation.
No spelling this week!
Check your child's room, car, backpack and all those "hidding" places for misplaced library books.  Our school has a record number still missing!  I want our class to have a 100% return!!  All books need to be in by May 10th.

Our field trip is on Tuesday.  We will be leaving the school at 8:30, so please make sure your child is here at 8:00.  We need this 30 minutes, before loading, to review expectations, assign parent helpers, check lunches and go to the bathroom.  Any child not here when we load the bus will be left behind and need to be picked back up to go home.  If you have not sent back a lunchroom order form and plan on ordering a sack lunch from the school, please send a note or email to school with your child on Monday.  These lunch counts needed to be turned in last Friday!  If I have not recieved a lunch order from you, I am assuming you will be providing a sack lunch for your child.  We will be attending the Idaho Botanical Gardens and the MK Nature Center and having lunch at the Municipal Park next to the MK Nature Center.  We will be back at the school by 2:30 for students to catch their regular bus home.

Don't forget Moms and Muffins! Thurdsay, May 3rd at 7:00 in the cafeteria.  This is an important event for the children.  They were so excited when I announced it last week.  If mom can't make it, bring another "mom" role model.  Everyone is welcome!!

PLEASE VOTE ON MAY 15TH!  Supplemental Levy MSD#134  Do you have any questions?  Are all the facts you are hearing correct?  Please take time to make an educated decision concerning this vote.  Call the school if you have any questions or concerns or visit our website:  http://www.msd134.org/ 

Luau Fun Day! May 14th 8:30-2:30  This is a school wide celebration for positive behavior and a great school year!  We are in need of parent volunteers to help put this together.  Please call and sign up at the office.
