We're truly on the homestretch of first grade. We will begin NWEA testing next week, so please make sure your child is getting plenty of rest.
Joyful Sounds choir which includes all of my class will sing at the Concert on May 2. Please have your child at school in the big gym by 5:50, pottied and ready to sit for awhile. Please-no gum!! Joyful Sounds will sit on the north side of the gym.
We will be going on a field trip on May 13 after chapel. A note was included with more information last week.
Thank you for the continued support of classroom balls, chalk, and other equipment. I redeemed Culver's scoopies to get us 5 more toys!
Due to the Spring Concert Thursday night, we will not have memory or spelling this week. We will not have math homework that night, either.

We are often in need of items in our classroom (like tooth holders or chart paper) or playground equipment (like kickballs or jumpropes). I have an Amazon wishlist for our class. If you or a family member would like to support us,here is the link: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1QWJ6YXZSCHGL?ref_=wl_share
Our school has lots of Fund raising opportunities! The office sells Scrip, which are gift cards to retailers to use like cash. You get the amount that you pay for, but the school gets a percentage back on the sale. BoxTops (you can enter your receipt online and earn money for the school) and Amazon Smile are also ways for ILS to earn money. Thanks for all the support!
I collect poptabs, which are taken to Riley Children's Hospital. They are converted to help families who stay at the Ronald McDonald House.
He is Risen, Indeed!
