Three days of testing is behind us and the kids are doing great!! They are handling this like old pros and seem to be taking it all in stride. The notes you all have written them are the highlight of their morning!! They absolutely love them!! Thank you for all of the snacks and treats! We have two days of math next week on Wednesday and Thursday. We will be so happy to have this behind us so we can move on with the rest of they school year!
Speaking of that...
We are in the middle of writing adapted fairy tales. Hopefully you have heard about it because the first rule of being able to write an adapted fairy tale is to know the original well and tell it often. I told them they need to be sharing the original story with you often!!! You're welcome!
We are very excited about where this story is headed, but we need your help. The kids will be "publishing" their own story at the end of this process, illustrations and all. We need each parent to purchase a "bare book". This is a book that is hard back but has blank pages. I have ordered them from amazon before and they are under $5 each. If you could order one and send it in so that we have it when we are ready to write our final draft.

So the exciting part to this is that we will be inviting you to our Author's Tea on Friday, May 17th at 10:30 in the classroom. This will be a time to allow the students to share their books as well as celebrate a wonderful school year. I encourage you to be here to join us in this celebration!
