15 Very Busy Days To Go!

Good Afternoon Friends!

     First I'd like to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH for all of books! I received so many books from the book fair and I really appreciate it! We are finishing up Pluto: A Wonder Story and then the children voted on the next read.  It is called Rain, Reign by Ann M. Martin. It sounds really good....I can't wait to find out.

  I've got lots to tell you so here goes:

1.     We've had a relaxing week learning about how we can serve others. We read Beatrice's Goat  by Page McBrier in order to learn about how something that may seem small to us can mean the WORLD to another.

Ask your child about the book and Heifer International! In the spirit of giving, paying it forward, and investing in the future.....the third grade will be having a Marketplace on Wednesday May 27th at 10 a.m. We will be selling our homemade goods to raise money to buy a goat, clean water, or a pig for a family in need!

2. The lock in is here! Bring your child with his/her jammies, toiletries, sleeping bag or air bed! Students can also bring board/card games, electronics (only if you think they need it in order to sleep) and their favorite comfort object. IT BEGINS AT 7PM AND ENDS AT 7AM.  Wish us luck! LOL~


3. Fish and tank.....If you'd like a free fish tank with 2 fish and all the fixin's please let me know! I am going to give it away. I am just not a great fish mommy and I don't know if I'll have the space for it next year.

4.  Señora Garcia is asking you to take a look at the sign up link below for Spanish Tapas day. Please sign up if you can!

A Long Week!

Hello Friends,
 It has been a long week of testing and your children have probably been quite exhausted and possibly cranky with you this week! Or maybe it's just me!
  We will be finishing up the GMAS today and your children have done a great job. They've worked really hard and they deserve a nice relaxing weekend!
  We did have the opportunity to do some SALSA dancing on Monday and we've spent the rest of our mornings reading, reviewing and  playing shopkins & pokemon. We've also watched a few Magic School Bus episodes to review some science concepts.
