Weekend News 5-31-19

Hello Fourth Grade Families,

I cannot believe how close we are to the end of the year. We have had so much fun and learned a great deal. I am so sad to say goodbye to this sweet class. Thankfully, we have a fun filled week ahead of us!

On Monday at 12:30, all choir students will walk to Clark Home to perform for the residents. Students should return around 2:15 pm.

On Tuesday at 6:00 am we leave for our Mackinac Island field trip. Please have your fourth grader to Wealthy at 5:40 am. Our class will be riding on the GOLD bus. Please take some time over the weekend to pack for the trip. I will be doing the same!  Don't forget to pack a lunch, drink, and healthy morning snack for Tuesday when we are on the road. We met with all fourth grade students as a team on Friday to do an overview of the itinerary for day 1 and reviewed the packing list. We will meet again on Monday morning to go over day 2. We sent home a hard copy of the packing list on Friday and an email version should have arrived via Mrs. Tinholt.  Please let me know if you have questions or concerns before we leave for the trip. Also- don't forget to pack your child's helmet!

We will return from Mackinac late on Wednesday evening. Please join my class Remind so you will receive the notification of when to pick up your child. Follow this link to join instantly!

We did a phase 1 desk/locker clean out this week. Talk with your child about which supplies you'd like him/her to bring home. We will be making donations to a school in need next week, this is an option for supplies you would not like to have returned home. 
On Monday we will do the final purge of desks, lockers, cubbies, etc. Expect an onslaught of papers and other fun to come home!

Please do not bring a backpack to school on Thursday. We will have everything sent home and cleaned out of the classroom. We will not attend specials on Thursday morning. We will join the school for the end of year assembly and end the day with the 5th grade Walk of Fame. Students will be dismissed at 11:24 am. 

Thank you all for your support and active involvement this year. It has been a gift to spend this year with your child. I always refer to the students as "my kids" because of the bond we form over the school year. Thank you for trusting your child to my care. It has been such a fantastic year!
