It was truly a long and crazy week! WOW! A huge thank you to Mrs. Page for being our sub while I gave the STAAR test. IT IS OVER! Hooray! A big thank you to Mr. Page for being our WATCH DOG and Mystery Reader. The Page family are FABULOUS! Such servant hearts! Thank you.
I would really love some special snacks on Dia Day, April 30. Please let me know if you would be willing to send in some fun goodies for us.
We will be watching Paddington on Friday afternoon. We read the novel and I think this is a perfect way to chill out after a very active morning. Our dear Pais Project friend from church that is here from England said she cried several times at how sweet it was and LOVED the movie. Please do not forget that complete change of clothing and a plastic bag. They do get quite wet during the games. Come join us that morning to cheer the MCGHEE MONSTERS on!
Let's hope the weather starts to clear up. At least at 12:00 and 2:50 everyday. :) Indoor recess is no bueno. Please talk to your child about and have them choose a meeting place with their siblings for rainy day dismissals. It sends a great deal of stress and panic through them when dismissal is altered. To meet at the Lost and Found and then go to their designated spot is a great and easy plan. We hold HOV riders in the front hall by the library, SSOV in the cafeteria and the rest go to the gym. ESD gathers as usual. Just have a plan in advance. And for your peace of mind, our severe weather safe place is right across the hall in the Imagination room. I have a bag with flashlights, first aid, my cell phone and other important items. We have practiced many times and the kids are pro's. I will send a text or email out if there was a need for you to get information from me. I do get email on my cell phone, so you can reach me too. Just a little fyi from one worry wart parent to others!
Have a great week and hope to see some of you at all the fun festivities this week!

WHAT WE'VE BEEN LEARNING
Language Arts- We are working away on our fractured fairy tales. They are proof reading and revising right now. We are still working in our book clubs. They probably will be bringing these books home with an agreed upon amount to read (their groups decide). Please help them to do their reading and to remember to bring the books back. I bought all of these books and Mr. McGhee would appreciate us taking care of them so I don't have to rebuy them next year. :)
Science-We are almost done with our moon and space unit. Next up, weather. This will last until next week and then we can move into animals and plants just in time for our fertile chicken eggs to arrive! So exciting!!
Fraction game!
