Tuesday Update

In the spring, at the end of the day,

you should smell like dirt.

Hope all the wonderful Grade One moms, grandmas, aunties, etc had a fabulous Mother's day! 

I watched my youngest, Lindsey, (who just turned 18 last week)  play Woody in Alison Lamont's dance recital's version of Toy Story 3.  If you are familiar with the story, you know it's about Andy, all grown up, moving away to college and leaving his beloved toys behind.  Needless to say, this mom was pretty emotional!  Hit a little too close to home!  But, I remind myself that, if you have done your job, they leave home with confidence, well-prepared to meet the joys and challenges of life ahead!  Where did the time go?!!!

Hope you enjoyed your 'homes'!  They have been sprayed and can go outside in a shady spot.  I have some my daughters made years ago and I put them up in the spring and take them down in the fall and they still look great.

Lots of 100% in spelling this week:  Congratulations to:  Emmet, Lexi, Keenan, Izzy, Jonathan, James, Tori, Hailey S., Aiden and Hailey W.  Great work!!!!   Remember:  4 levels left and then 2-3 review tests.

Supplies needed:  The grade 3 class has offered to teach us how to my 'Hairy Heads" on Friday!  Each student needs an individual yogurt container and a pair of nylons (not tights).  We stuff the nylon with soil and grass seed and set it on the yogurt container which is filled with water.  The seed sprouts and we have a 'Hairy Head".  They will be fun!  We need the nylons and yogurt containers on Friday please.  Send extra if you have them!

Also, we have 5 ice cream pails but we need one for each student.  We need these by the end of May, thanks!

Have a great week!
