Readers Theater Groups and Story Selections MUST be made by end of class on Monday.

Candy Activities will begin on Tuesday. Bring candy in wrappers with name of candy displayed. Individual size please. We would like a variety, so be creative.

Field Day Wednesday. Bring drinks, lotion, hats and plenty of energy. Remember, no face, or hair painting, no pets allowed.....school rules are in place.

Readers Theater is fun. You may choose plays I have, or search for your own. Bring one copy and I will make copies for your group. Costumes should be minimal. Parents should not make costumes, Be creative and make hats and props from everyday items.

Books will be checked Monday and Tuesday. Bring you Literature Books, Grammar Books and Spelling softcover books. See me, if you have lost one and we will search to see if a classmate has it.

Great job on Persuasive Projects, I will try and have grades posted by Tuesday. I am posting some to the blog, see me if you do not want to share yours.
