Hello families!
We have so much going on these last few days of the school year!
First, if your child will be missing any of the days next week, please let me know as soon as possible as I am getting report cards, papers, etc. ready to go home next week.
Second, if your student has a summer birthday that they would like to celebrate with us, we can do it any day between tomorrow and next Wednesday. If you could please let me know ahead of time though so I know it is coming!
Third, tomorrow is Walk to School Day, Celebration Day (for testing), and Trading Post. Groups will be walking from both Maverik and Champion Park at 8:00am. There are special activities and treats during the day. We will have our Trading Post for students that received at least 45 green slips (many received 60 or 70...) in the afternoon. Anything except electronics and food are fair game to "sell." Old board games, books, toys, homemade crafts...time to clean out a junk drawer or closet! :)
Finally, Field Day is on Friday. Looks like we should have nice weather (79 degrees and sunny as of now)! Mrs. Jensen wants to remind students that closed-toe water shoes or tennis shoes are best--no flip flops!! Sunscreen/hats are fine and encouraged for when the students are outside for two hours on the field. Swimsuits are not allowed--now this is where boys--and some girls--ask about water shorts--as long as the length of their shorts meet school guidelines and they have a top that is not a swim suit, that would be fine. A change of clothes and/or towel would be smart to bring along. Parent volunteers, THANK YOU for helping us!! Field Day cannot happen without all the volunteers! Please make sure you are here by 9am (with sunscreen!) to get to your specific station.
No spelling this week and our weekly stories are complete as well. We are just finishing up everything for the end of the year. Can you believe it is here already?
I hope you have a fantastic week!

May 19th
Hello families!
Thank you to all the parents who went with us to Rendezvous last Friday! Everyone had a great time. We did, however, have an incident when we returned. We were passing around cards with bits of gold dust on them to look at and I was going to draw 8 sticks to give the gold to students in class. But, on the the cards disappeared while we were looking at them. If your student comes home with a small, black card with gold taped to it, please let me know. The rest of the class missed out on a chance to get a card due to one persons dishonesty.
We are coming to the close of the school year. Please encourage your student to stay on top of their work. I am already starting to work on parts of the report card and it is difficult if work is missing! Also, as the year is ending, please check on your student's lunch account and not let it get into the negative amounts. Thanks for your help in this!
Have a great week!

Happy Mother's Day!
Hello families!
A happy Mother's Day (early) to all the great Moms and Mother-figures in our classroom families! I hope that you have a great, relaxing day on Sunday!
I am still needing 2 more helpers for Field Day on Friday, May 30th.
So far I have the following helpers:
Lindsi Sanor, Tracey Oltman, Mignon Jeppson, Jamie Dye, and Shelley Draghici.
If you are able to help that morning, I would truly appreciate it! Just click on the link:
http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E4FACA822A6F58-field
or call, e-mail, or send a note in with your student. It is a fun day for the kids and parents!
Rendezvous is coming up! Our parent meeting is Friday morning at 8:30am to go over the plan for the day. We are leaving immediately when school begins (our first station begins at 9:30am). Students will need a sack lunch and tennis shoes (please no sandals or flip flops) and weather appropriate clothing. As of now, the weather looks like it will be in the 80's. Very nice!
I like to pack lunches into a couple of large coolers (especially if it will be hot). I have a medium sized one, but if you have a large cooler we could borrow, please let me know. I will have a parent volunteer deliver it to the lunch site for us as we cannot take our lunches on the bus.
Finally, we are down to our last MAP test. We will be taking the language test on Wednesday this week. Please encourage your student to get some rest, eat a good breakfast and be at school that day. Any make-ups will have to be on Thursday as we are gone Friday and all tests must be complete by then.
Have a great weekend!

Testing
Hello families!
We are starting today off with MAP math testing. About half of the students have finished already, and the rest will continue again after lunch. Most are taking their time and I am proud of them for trying their best!
I am still in need of 5 parents to help run a station for Field Day, May 30th in the morning from 9-11:30 am. If you are interested, please sign up at: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E4FACA822A6F58-field
Next week we have the Rendezvous field trip. It is all day on Friday, May 16th at Meridian Middle School and the first station begins at 9:30 am. So, that means we are loading the busses and leaving right when the bell rings. Please make sure your student is here on time next Friday.
If you are going with us as a chaperone, there will be a parent meeting that morning at 8:30am to give instructions. Please meet in my classroom (room 27) for instructions. All parents must check in at the home school (Discovery) before going to Rendezvous. If you do not have a school visitor badge, you will not be allowed on the Meridian Middle School campus for Rendezvous. I currently have 10 parents going on our field trip, with Mrs. Oltman and Mrs. Staley riding on the bus. (Due to parking issues, we will try to organize carpooling among the parents going.)
Please let me know if you have any questions! We will be sending reminder information home with students next week.
Have a great week!
