A few things this week

Well, I think Spring has sprung and we went right into Summer.  The days are getting hotter and we have only 54 more days of school.  Wow were did it go?  I want to blog to you early this week to let you know of a few things that are going on.
Tomorrow, Tuesday, the class will be working with Mr. Josh (our custodian) out in the courtyard.  Since we look at it so much through our classroom windows we thought it might be a good idea to have the children help spruce it up to make it look nicer.  So, if you child comes home with a bit of dirt between their fingernails, you will know where it came from.
Word Study will be over a 2 week span.  We will have 2 different lists but this week’s words will be assessed on Monday not Friday.  Yellow Word Study books can also be brought in on Monday not Friday. 
I will not be in school on Wednesday through Friday of this week.  Mr. Schwartzmann will be our substitute for all the days.  He knows the class and is familiar with our classroom routine.  Homework will be sent home as usual.  Daily “just right” reading books will also come back and forth.
On Thursday, the class will be practicing 2 times in one day.  We will practice in the morning and the afternoon.  Please dress your child in layers.  It is very hot on stage.
As you know, we are going on a field trip.  If you are interested in helping to chaperone, please let me know in writing.  To make things fair, I will put all the names of those interested into a hat and pick 4 to come.  Please let me know by Thursday, April 11th.  I will let you know by Monday, April 15th if you have been chosen.
Hope you get outside and enjoy the sun and nice weather.
