Hello!  Welcome back after a very nice Spring and Easter holiday.  We are starting the final countdown until the end of the year.  There are a lot of exciting things to look forward to.  Camp Sagitawa is looming on the June horizon.  Please bring back all money for chocolates by May 1 so we can get our finances in order.  I will be making a deposit on that shortly.  This week is going to be our turn to keep the grounds clean.  We will be going out with rubber gloves and bags and doing some playground litter cleaning during the week.  Our school is also having a band concert Wednesday and a cultural activity Thursday.  Earth Day is Wednesday and everyone is encouraged to wear green on that day.

Agenda items:

• Socials Test – Ancient China – Tuesday (anyone missing that can make it up on Wednesday or Thursday, but please make that arrangement with me so I don’t have to track you down to get it done.
• Science Test – (moved to Thursday because of the concert on Wednesday)
• Math – complete all mean, median, and mode assignments from the text.
• Novel study – Sections 1-3 to be done by Thursday.  Cover folder to be well on its way by the end of the week.  Make sure all reading is done at home if it is not completed during D.E.A.R. and that the novel is brought back to school each day if it does go home.
• Remember to bring back hot dog orders by Wednesday for the Friday hot dog day.
• Have a great Tuesday and Good Luck Canucks in tonight’s hockey game vs. the St. Louis Blues!
