Wednesday Wrap

What a week!!! Crazy weather, crazy busy! We are trying to get back into our groove after last week's musical. It's been a challenge with the crazy weather and shortened week. Whew! Let's get caught up to speed: 1. Field Trip permission slips went home last Friday. If you have not already done so, please be sure to return it to school with your child this week. We will be going to a Paul Mesner Puppet show and having a picnic. We need permission slips back and puppet show money returned soon in order to buy our tickets. Our wonderful PTO will be providing the extra money so that each child will get to make their own take-home puppet. It is going to be a lot of fun! Let me know if you need another copy of the permission slip. 2. Did you remember that THIS FRIDAY is our AMAZING school carnival???? Our PTO goes over the top to make this such a fun-filled evening. I hope to see all of you Friday night. If you have volunteered your time, you should have received a reminder slip in your child's mail last Friday. If you are unsure of your scheduled time, drop me an email or call me and I will let you know. Thank you in advance to everyone who has donated supplies or their time to making this a wonderful night for our kids. I have been asked to tell all of my families that if you purchased Magic Show tickets, there will be 2 showtimes. One will be at 5:15 and the second show will follow at 5:45. If you can make it to the 5:15 showtime, we are encouraging our families to come to that show as we are anticipating the 5:45 show to be very full. Thank you for your understanding and consideration! 3. Please remind your child's Flat Stanley recipient not to worry about sending it back by the date on the letter. We will be displaying our Flatties as they return to school until the end of the year, so when they are ready they can send it back! Have a wonderful evening. Let me know if you have any questions or if you need anything. Hope to see you Friday night at the Carnival!!!

Up and Running!

Monday= B Tuesday= C Wednesday= D Thursday= A Friday= B Happy Monday, families! I am so sorry for the delay in our posts! I have been having a tough time with this website server and am just now FINALLY able to post successfully. Whew! Thank you to everyone who made it to last week's Art Walk. I hope you all enjoyed looking through your first grader's "Pieces" of work. They were so proud of their masterpieces. Are we head into the end of our year together (CRAZY!) we are going to start picking up the pace to TURBO-speed! Here are some things to keep on your calendar: 1. Musical! Our first grade musical is NEXT Thursday April 18 at Wheatridge Middle School. This week and next will be spent polishing and perfecting this darling performance. Please be sure to read the letter that came home on Friday from Mrs. Neely with more details about costumes and details of the performance night. Let me know if you have any questions. 2. Carnival! Our school carnival is Friday April 26. We are still in need of donations of indidual bags of Goldfish crackers, as well as donations of time! If you are able to help run a station for 30 minutes, we would be so grateful. Let me know if you would be willing to volunteer your time. Thank you in advance. Power Drills and this week's spelling words are coming home today. Be sure to check your child's backpack. Ask your child to tell you about Jane Goodall and her chimpanzee, David Greybeard. We read an article today about Dr. Goodall and learned about her unique job. Check your child's comprehension to see if they remember what we learned. Please help your first grader stick to a regular bedtime. I had many sleepy kiddos today and that makes learning difficult! Let me know if you have any questions with all the activities this month. Hope you are all well. Have a great night!
