Right-to-Read Week
I continue to challenge the students to read four books each week until the end of the year. They must successfully read 4 books AND pass the book adventure test. Each week that this is achieved the students will earn a ticket. This ticket will be redeemed at the School Carnival for a chance to dunk Mr. George in a dunk tank! Each student will have the opportunity to earn 3 chances!
Spring Music Program
The program is Thursday, May 22nd. The students are required to be at the program, as it is for a grade. Dress rehearsal is Wednesday, May 21st and students must have their dress clothes at school. They must come to school in their normal school clothes, and then we will change for the program.
End of the Year
Please stress the importance of learning to your child as the school year is winding down. There is still much to learn. The students have been shutting down and not putting forth effort on their work. I am still taking grades and will continue to teach all of next week. With all of the days missed this year I still want the students to be as prepared as possible for next year. Grades are slipping fast, and behavior has not been very good.
