Good morning! We are almost there … just two more days.

Just a heads up for parent’s who are coming along on our Zoo Field Trip …. in order to come on the bus, and to take a group around on our scavenger hunt, you MUST have a criminal record check on file and up-to-date. Please check in with the office ladies and they will let you know if you have a current one on file. I will be looking into this, so please make sure you take the time to do so also 🙂

Guess what?! It is Knight Day on Friday, March 15th! I didn’t know until today. Sorry if the lateness of this notice inconveniences you! Feel free to wear your Knight Wear on Friday!

We are starting to wind down, and definitely feeling the need for a break! We have been working hard to finish up some things, like our novel study and our Bible topic of prayer, before Spring Break. We had our assembly on Safe and Unsafe substances, learning about how to be safe and what warnings we can know to prevent getting hurt or sick. A huge thank you to parents who came with us on our Powerhouse Stave Lake field trip. The students learned a lot, and had a great day. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Hello parents … so I made a mistake and completely missed sending home the Hot Lunch forms (for Love Thailand on Thursday) that were supposed to be handed in today by the end of the day. I am so sorry for this oversight, they just got lost in the shuffle of all my paperwork and it completely slipped my mind. It has been arranged that you will be allowed to submit orders on Monday morning before school, at the office.

The order is from Hofstede’s Deli and the items offered are:

Thai Soup/Bun $6.00                                                                                                                                                           Mulligatawny Curry

Thai Salad $6.00

Juice Box $1.00

Thanks for your understanding, if you have any questions, please let me know. I apologize for missing this!

Have a great weekend!

 

A very full and busy week! Working on our novel studies, beginning a unit on place value in Math, starting to work on soccer skills in gym, and creating Love Bugs to hold all our special valentine’s next week!
