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!

I am out tomorrow!

Hi. I am out tomorrow for my Technology Showcase. This is where I go show off all the stuff we have done this year while using Technology. WooHoo! Remember: True Character is how you live life when nobody is looking...or in this case, when Ms. Erickson isn't looking. Please remind kids to make good choices and use what I have taught them. We have way to many fun activities at stake!!

The Pompey Pillar trip has been cancelled. But, never fear we have another one ready to go. We will be venturing up to Red Lodge to see Jeff the Nature Guy and all his animals. We will also have a picnic lunch in the park. Be watching for permission slips for all our upcoming field trips soon.

On a final note, the sun is supposed to reappear by the end of this week. Until then, please make sure kids are wearing warm, weather appropriate clothing to school. Shorts are not appropriate for this kind of weather and jackets need to be at school just in case. MANY kids were complaining about being cold today at recess and in gym class. Responsibility.

Have a great night!
