May 2, 2011

Good Afternoon,
  What a wonderful day Sunday was.  It was so nice to soak up sun and green-up around our house.  It is amazing the energy one can receive from a beautiful spring day.

THE PLAY:
*I am throwing around the idea of having a "pot-luck" spaghetti dinner during the evening performance of our play.  If there is interest, I would like to know if there is a parent or two who would be interested in organizing this part of the evening.  If you are interested in taking this on, please let me know.

*I need to know how many people will be attending the evening performance and if you are interested in having a spaghetti dinner.  Please write me or e-mail me (by Wednesday) your response.

*The play is coming along nicely.  Mr. Hill is working on two songs with them and Ms. Davis is working on the scenery and a few costumes.  Please keep working on the lines at home and have your child practice projecting his/her voice.  If it is suitable, practicing outside is a great way to practice speaking loudly.

REPORT CARD MEETING:
*Tomorrow marks the first of two district wide report card meetings.  We are working on creating a unified report card for the district.  Tomorrow all of the 1st and 2nd grade teachers will be working on this.  Mr. Willis will be the substitute.

GARDEN:
*We will be using Wednesdays as our afternoon to be in the garden.  Please make sure your child wears appropriate clothing and footwear.

HOMEWORK:
*There is reading and math this week.  Also, kids can work on their play lines and practice his/her sight words.

That is all for now.  I hope you have a wonderful week.
Tom
