Play Tomorrow!

Tomorrow is our Commotion in the Ocean Play. We will be performing for our buddies and Mrs. Seward's class at 2:00. If you want to come feel free. It will last about 15 minutes total! :0) I will also film it and put it on the blog. Students need to wear a solid shirt though to go under their costume boards. If they don't have a solid shirt then as close as they can get will work just fine.

I talked to the students this morning about appropriate spring/summer attire at school. Shorts and skirts need to be longer than their fingertips when their arms are hanging down on their sides. Tank-tops need to be at least 2 fingers wide. Boys tank-tops need to be snug to their armpits or a shirt needs to be under. No makeup is allowed at school.

Permission slips for all of our upcoming events will go home tomorrow. I am sending home dual copies so you can keep one for your fridge. Please fill out and return to school on Wed. for a cash reward. REMEMBER: Just because a child can buy into an event does NOT mean that they automatically can go. If their behavior is not in tact in these next few weeks I will return their money and find an alternative placement for them.

Lastly, we talked about the phrase Finishing Up Strong today at our morning meeting. Kids came up with some strategies that could help them to ensure that they finish the last three weeks of 4th grade with a positive attitude and with 4th grade quality work. I was proud of their thinking and we made a HUGE poster to hang up to remind us.

Hope to see all of you at Pastries for Parents this Wednesday before school for some doughnuts and juice!
