Spring Has Sprung!

Mrs. Thompson's class would like to welcome Mr. Andy Smith to their class.  Andy will be with our class until May 10th. During this time he will be full time teaching for three weeks.  He has already gotten to know the kids and has taught many lessons.
We FINALLY completed the Iowa Assessments!  What a great feeling. I am so proud of the kids for their perservernce and hard work. I am positive that all of our hard learning will be reflected in their scores.
Today a fishing field trip permission slip will be sent home with your child. This MUST be signed and returned for your child to attend this fun trip.  Miss Shaver has already secured retired administrators as volunteers so we will not be needing any parent volunteers for this trip.
Picture money and/or pictures need to be returned to school by Friday, April 12th. 
Book orders are due on Friday, April 12th.

As you may have heard, one of our classmates was diagnosed with Type 1 diebetes.  It is important that when you send in snack for the class that you send in ONE of the boxes or containers so that I can get a carbohydrate reading on it.  This is very important!!
