PTC Bingo Friday

Our Pink basket is looking amazing! If you have any more items to donate, please get them to me by this Friday. That evening we will have our Spring PTC Bingo Basket festivities! All the action starts at 7pm so it would be great to see you all there!!! =)

Reminders

• Tomorrow is Take Your Child to Work Day... If you are choosing to send your child to work, make sure the school got a call or a note about it--IF--- your child did not get the permission slip in on time. Since we will have so many absent kids we will have an in class Read-In. Kids can bring pillows, blankets and books to enjoy throughout the day but it must all fit in their backpacks!

• Friday is MES Beautification Day! Our class will pair up with Mrs. Johnson's 1st graders and will be in charge of cleaning up MES' Library!
• Tuesday the 28th will be our field trip to the Movie Earth. There was no spot on the form for chaperones. I do possibly have room for one parent to come. Please let me know ASAP if you would like to join us. We will leave promptly at 9 am to be to Clackamas Town Center in time for the show... I've heard great things about this film and it will fit in great with our Science Curriculum

As the end of the year approaches, I will try to make sure and post reminders and things. I can't believe its almost MAY! Wow! Please don't hesitate to email me or call me with any questions or concerns. I appreciate all of your continued support throughout this year!

Spelling, Week of April 17th

Last week students struggled with our spelling list. Please make sure that you are checking in with your student to make sure they are studying. I don't assign specific Spelling Homework but I did mention to my reading group today that if scores do not improve I will be sending home spelling homework starting next week. I will try and keep you posted if that change needs to take place. As you may notice, words are definitely getting harder as we transition from the 4th grade spelling words to 5th grade... Regular studying needs to take place! Thanks for your continued support at home!

This week's words:

multiply
imagination
favorite
computer
citizenship
invisible

PTC Basket Bingo!

On Friday May 1st will be PTC's basket bingo! It is a great opportunity to come together as a MES community and money goes straight to PTC. Each year teachers need to plan a basket theme and help get donatations. This year, I decided to use the color pink as a theme. Anything that you can donate that has to do with pink (think spring, flowers, candy, anything really!). We will also need some sort of basket. The dollar store would be a great place to check for items and any donations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
