I saw a meme the other day with a football player holding up four fingers with the title "Hang on Teachers, It's the Fourth Quarter".
I think that can apply to all of us! We talked about this meme today in class and how no matter where you are in the football game you have to play all four quarters. So here we are in the 4th quarter and we still have many things to do to push ahead!
First, let me say THANK YOU to all of those that helped and donated towards our Camp Wannastemalotta day! It was so much fun and I think the kids had a great time! It was a great reward for a job well done! It was successful because of your support!!!
Here a few upcoming things that you need to be aware of:
Milestone Testing starts tomorrow! Here is the schedule:
Tuesday 4/10 - ELA
Wednesday 4/11 - ELA
Thursday 4/12 - ELA
Friday 4/13 - No testing
Monday 4/16 - Math
Tuesday 4/17 - Math
There will be NO HOMEWORK (except for reading and math facts) this week or next week!
Please make sure your kiddo is getting a good night's rest and has a good breakfast and of course gets here on time!! If you received notification about sending in an item, please don't forget to send those in! The kids really look forward to all of the special snacks and treats!
Biography Project:
We will be working on a biography report here in the classroom over the next couple of weeks. We will have some opportunity to do research here in the classroom but if you have time to print out some articles at home that would help push this along! Plan on allowing your child to bring in their device on Friday, April 13th to allow for them to do research on their person.
There is an "at-home" portion to this project and it will be due Friday, April 20th. We will be sending home information about this project this week. They will need to dress up as their selected person as well as create a desktop. This is a great opportunity for your child to get creative and figure out ways to not spend money on this project!
After we complete the biography project we will be working on their own biography. This will require two things from you:
When we request them, please send in 5-7 pictures of your child throughout their lives. These pictures will not be returned, so make sure they are a copy of the original!
We will also be requesting a "bare book". This is a book that your child will be "publishing" their biography in. Here is the link from Amazon:

We will be having a very special day by having a "Book Signing" Day were the kids will share their biographies with the class and guests. This will be on Friday, May 18th at 10:30 am. Please mark your calendar as you do not want to miss this special day for our class.
As you can see, we have a lot left to do to finish out this awesome school year. You all have been such supportive parents this school year and we know we can count on you to help us finish this school year off strong.
So get out your calendar and I will list all of the important upcoming dates all in one spot!
