Tomorrow is the first day of school and I'm so excited! I met a bunch of my new students today and I even saw a few of my old ones :-)
A lot of you may be nervous about the first day but just know that it will be great! We'll get to know each other and go over the new procedures so that everyone is ready to go when we start to rotate subjects. I even have some fun back-to-school stuff planned!
I know it's going to be a great year. I can't wait to see you all tomorrow morning!

Oceans Field Trip on Monday!
- Just a reminder that our Oceans field trip is this Monday. I sent home a reminder with the kiddos today. Make sure to check their backpacks. They'll need their Ronnie's Rascals shirts, money if they are purchasing something from the concessions stand, and a sack lunch. Chaperones, please be in the classroom at 8:45. Adult tickets cost $5.00 and are unfortunately not covered by tax credit money :( We're looking forward to a great day!
- The last book order of the year went home yesterday. I encourage the kiddos to stock up on books for the summer. It is a MUST for them to read over the summer in order to continue to grow!
- Next week we will be taking the chapter 8 Social Studies test on Wednesday. The kiddos have their study guides and are encouraged to take home their books next week. We will also have our weather test later in the week. A study guide will come home on Tuesday. Math tests were taken today and are in your child's backpack.
Have a wonderful weekend!

The Dig is tomorrow!
Just a reminder that our field trip to Old Pueblo is tomorrow. We will leave at 9:00 a.m. Please see the reminder slip that the kiddos brought home today. It has some valuable information.
***Returning registration packets are due tomorrow. Please send them in if you haven't already done so.
**Our class has been working on our own published book. It is the A to Zs of Arizona. I sent home the order forms today so your child will be able to purchase their own copy. They are due on Tuesday. This is the only opportunity you'll have to purchase the class book.
**Book orders are due this Friday.
***AIMS starts next week. Look for a letter coming home tomorrow that explains some of the destressing we'll be incorporating into our routines!
**Honor roll assembly is this Friday at 2:30. I'm very sad I won't be able to make it. My grandmother passed away this week and I'll be heading home after the field trip to attend her service.
I'm very proud of all of the kiddos and their third quarter accomplishments!

Good Egg Awards
Yesterday our class was presented with two Good Egg Awards! Rachel received one from her sister and Mrs. Ronnie received one from Jessie. What a special reminder to tell those you care about that you love them or appreciate them. Have a wonderful Easter!Wednesday, March 31, 2010
Field Trip Postponed to April 8th
Tomorrow's forecast is calling for a high of 59 and rain all day. This means that we cannot be outside digging in mud so we have had to move the field trip to next Thursday, April 8th. We're excited that we still get to go and next Thursday is supposed to be 79 and sunny. I'll send home the reminder and packing list next week.
This means that the Social Studies test will be given tomorrow. The kiddos should have been bringing home their books to study all week.

Comin' Down the Home Stretch!
I hope you all had a great and well rested Spring Break! Can you believe we're already in the fourth quarter? The kiddos are almost fifth graders! Here are a few things that are going on in room 25...........
We started chapter 10 in Math. This chapter has dealt with symmetry, reflections, and +/- numbers. We will be taking our test on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. Chapter 11 will deal with volume and geometric shapes.
We're on Unit 26 this week for Spelling.
Territorial Arizona has been our focus in Social Studies. We will be taking the test some time next week. I've encouraged the kiddos to start taking their books home now to study. The memory master will come home Monday to help as well. Today we are taking our "Territorial Kids" pictures. These are the pictures that include any and everything that describes each student. They brought in things that reflect who they are.
A to Z books: We've been working on our rough drafts for the A to Z book on Arizona. Each student has a different letter and must come up with things specific to Arizona that start with that letter. For example, if they have the letter C, they might write about the 5C's, the Colorado River, etc. Some of the kiddos will need the weekend to gather more facts to write about. We will begin editing these on Monday so if they don't finish the rough drafts today they will need to work on them this weekend.
Weather is our new Science focus. We will then move into adaptation, mimicry, and camoflouge.
The Power Point book reports are going well. We'll be working on these for the next few weeks.
AIMS testing is the week of April 12-16. We've been working on AIMS prep this week and will continue through the next few weeks. More info will come home as it gets closer.
We head out to the dig site on Thursday for our field trip! Thank you to all who volunteered. Mary Gansheimer, Mary Robbins, Celeste Angelini, and Tee Ward will be joining us! I'll send home a remind again on Wednesday. The next field trip will be on April 26.
I'm needing some extra help with Scrapbooks. I have a bunch of packets that include the supplies and a sample page for you to reproduce. It's mainly gluing and cutting. If you would be willing to help out with this I would SO appreciate it! Please send me an email and I'll send home the kits. Thank you!
Report Cards come home today. Please send back the envelope with a signature on Monday.
Let's make the final quarter a great one!

Power Point Book Report
Last week each child picked a new book for their next book report. If they had just started a book and weren't too far along then they could stick with it. We've been to the library twice in one week so the students have had two opportunities to select a book. It must be a chapter book that is in their level. If they picked a book from home then they need to bring the book in so I can okay it.
The books must be finished by Monday, March 22. This is the Monday after Spring Break. We will begin the book reports on this day. The students will NOT be able to start their book report unless they have finished their book.
The book report will be in a Power Point Presentation and most of it will be done in class. If there are certain pictures or sounds they would like to include from home, that would be great! Just save the images on a disc, a flash drive, or email them to me. Those students that finish their books by Monday, March 8 will have the opportunity to start their presentation/book report early. Again, the books are not required to be completed until the 22nd.
A criteria sheet for this book report will come home tomorrow.
