ISTEP+ Test
All Computer Encore classes are cancelled again this week. We have a lot of make-up tests to do, but if we finish, and we can open the labs, I will let you know!
Sally will be coming to your classroom for your Library Encore plan time.
There IS free flow in the library from 8:00-8:20 every morning. I will let you know about afternoon free flow (Friday, we tested until almost 2:30).

Acuity Schedule
Before I just scrap the whole calendar and start over, please look to see if you can switch with someone. If you can, just change it on the schedule. I am wiping out the extra I/E times for the weeks of May 8-19th. Just type in your new Acuity time, making sure you put Acuity Math or ELA after your name.
D Wing lab is only available during the times listed.
Let me know if you need help and I will find you a time that works for you.
Please do not sign up for an extra time until after Acuity times are set. I will send an email to let you know.

Theme Cart
We are pulling books about Mother's Day, Father's Day, Memorial Day, and Summer for our theme cart. Yay Summer!!
MakerSpace Club
As some of you may have heard, I've started an after school club called MakerSpace. It is just what the name suggests: Students are given space and materials to MAKE something. Students have access to many different materials (Legos, K'nex, origami, coding programs, robotics, STEM activities, trash to treasures, and much, much more). We are hoping to become a STEM Certified school! You can read more about that HERE.
Grades 2/3 meet on Tuesdays until 4:00, and grades 4/5 meet on Wednesdays until 4:00. We will meet each week between now and the end of school. (Not the last week.)
However, I have to cancel the 2/3 club on May 23rd, because I am out of the building for a Media Specialist Meeting. I will be sending a note home to parents about that.
I would like to thank the following people who just jumped in to help!! Lost Creek PTO, Sally Chiu, Angie Oxford, Emily Nasser, Heather Johnson, Theresa Graf, Amy Price, Judi Smith, Christina Moody and her band-aids, and Rose Hulman students. Mrs. Biggs helped load cars one night!! If I forgot anyone, I'm sorry! I definitely would have had to limit the number of students involved if these people did not offer to help. It is pretty crazy in the library/computer lab on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons. Lots of kiddos, lots of projects! Feel free to stop in any time!!
Next year, we have a couple of Rose Hulman professors who are wanting to get involved and run a "station" during club time!
If a parent sends you a message that their child is not staying for club, please let me know so I don't have to call and worry.
Also, please save your cardboard tubes for us, and any random craft supplies you would like to get rid of. We will also accept donations of Lego blocks!
