                                                            Just a reminder, if you would like to join us as a  chaperone  for the trip to Lansing, please turn in this paperwork. We have three  spots left! If you already turned in the form, you are in and I will be sharing a list with everyone's contact info to arrange carpooling. Volunteer forms and background checks are required to be a chaperone, so Mrs. Kauffman in the office will be checking to see who still needs to complete that paperwork and will send home the paperwork with your child after the break. If you are able to donate,  here is a  list of snacks   needed for the trip .  Thank you! With the changing weather springs brings, it's best if students bring an extra sweatshirt or light jacket to leave in their lockers for recess.  An extra ...

                                                                             March is reading month! Hopefully, you heard all about the amazing author visit last week. Books by Marc Tyler Nobleman are still available through this week if you'd like to order. They are also available at Forever Books.  Students will start listening to books and voting for their favorites this week. We will narrow it down to our favorite book of the collection by the end of the month!  Just a reminder that recorder forms were sent home this week and are due by Friday, March 18th. Students are able to rent a recorder if they prefer. Ms. Mac is hoping to put on a little outdoor concert for the rest of the school at the end of the year! The field trips we will be taking this spring are listed below. We will...

                                                            Just a reminder that we have swimming on Wednesday. Students need to bring a bag with a towel and clothes to change into after swimming. It helps if they come to school with their suits on under their clothes since we go in the morning and it is a late start!  We are in need of Clorox/Lysol wipes. If you are able to send some in, we would really appreciate it because we wipe the tables after our snacks every day! Thank you in advance!! Trimester two report cards go home this week. Please sign the envelope, keep the report card and send back the envelope so your child can receive yards! If your child receives a 1 or 2 in any area, practice for those goals will continue in the classroom and in some cases at home as we discussed at conferences or commented on the report card. Al...

                                                           March is reading month!! Be on the lookout for more information from Mrs. Bacolor. We will have a read-in on Friday to celebrate all our hard work this trimester. Students may bring a snack and clear drink, a blanket and stuffed animal, and wear pajamas to school. Friday is a half-day also, so school dismisses at 12:09. Swimming was awesome on Wednesday! Thank you for sending in all the correct supplies for the kids. We can't wait for the next session. Mr. Pfahler has to change some of the dates due to pool maintenance, but we will go three more times. I will share the rest of the dates when he confirms them.  This Week: Monday - Art & Book Club meets with Mrs. Gruchot Tuesday - PE Wednesday - Late Start  Thursday - Music Friday - Half Day/End of Trimester/Read-In Upc...
