Hi All,

This week is short, with lots of excitement due to Spring Break!  The homework packet will consist of a Social Studies Ch. 5/6 Review. We will have a test on these chapters on Thursday. The kids will also have math homework on Tuesday and Wednesday as usual.

On Thursday, the 4th -6th graders will  have the Big Spin. This is the awards ceremony we have every trimester  to recognize students' achievements including sportsmanship, academic achievement (outstanding work ethic), reading (AR word count), attendance, and citizenship. In the final trimester 4th Graders are also eligible for honor roll. After the awards, all students who have not received a pink slip during the trimester are entered in a raffle, and if their name is selected they spin a giant wheel for prizes--thus, the Big Spin.

On other days this week, we will get to see the 2nd grade play, as well as watch the film version of By the Great Horn Spoon. 

On another note, a big thank you to Dawn Nemec. She worked with the kids in class ( and several additional hours at home) to put together a gorgeous auction project from Room 9.

Have a great week, and an awesome vacation!
Best regards,
Carroll Mayer
