WELCOME BACK!!!

No my tired body does not want to get up today, but here I go...

Get ready for a busy week.  There will be a big spelling list this week.  The list will be science vocabulary words that wee need to know for the EOG.  We will split the homework up in to the following assignments.  Monday night words 1-12 in sentences.  The sentences need to be definitions sentences.  THE KIDS WILL BE BRINGING HOME THEIR SCIENCE BOOKS AND NOTECARDS FOR HELP.  Words 1-12 also need to be written three times in cursive on Monday night.  Tuesday night words 13-25 in sentences and written three times in cursive.  Wednesday night will be where all words will need an illustration to go along with the word meaning.  Thursday night will be the normal practice spelling test.  There will be some math homework but not much.  Please continue to read.  The AR goals are the same as last time.  I did not increase anybodies points.  The end of the nine weeks is May 27.  Challenge goals will head to Smith Mountain Lake for a visit to my parents house for swimming, boating, jet skiing and a good old cookout.  We will do that on Sat. June 4.  Mark your calendars, everyone is very excited about this!!!

Interview with an adult due tomorrow.

Challenge AR party for the third nine weeks will be this Friday.  We will meet at Big Mikes restaurant for dinner and then head to the movies if there is one there that is appropriate (I will know better by Thursday if there is one).  The cost of the venture is $7.00.  That will include movie admission and the cost of dinner.  I will cover the additional cost of dinner for the kids.  If they want popcorn, they will need to bring that money too.  Please bring in the $7.00 byu Thursday.  Thanks!

Here comes the EOG'S!!!!!  Please help your child gain the positive attitude needed to get through this tough time.  Benchmark scores will be back today so we will get a good indicator of who needs what.  There will be some days when different people have different homework.  So it will be hard for you to depend on so and so for homework help if students forget the pages.  I will be very strict about this!  They must be organized, responsible, and ready for the next three week challenge.  I know they can do it!  I have all the faith in the world in them. 

GO FAR 5K on Saturday at 8:30.  The race starts at 9 but you need to get their at 8:30 to pick up your packet.  I am sending my sister over on Friday to pick up mine in case anyone wants her to do that for them.  Just let me know!

Love You!  I missed my little kiddos this past week.  I loved text messaging them to make sure their week was going OK.  Let me know if you need me for anything.  The end is near :( 33 1/2 days before summer break.  Did I tell you the end of the six weeks was Friday?  Report cards go home next week.  They counted Easter Break as one of the weeks in the six week progress of our children-crazy, crazy-I bet there wasn't much learning going on during Easter week. 

Oh, car's still in Florida-that's a long story I can't wait to tell you about!

Have a good week!!!  Stay strong!!!  Exercise and eat right!!!!
