Happy Spring Break!
Hi Parents!
Can you believe we are closing out the third quarter!? This year is flying by and the growth that this class is making is amazing. Here are a few updates and answers to your questions…..
I’ve had a few calls and emails about the Tubac trip on May 11. I’m focusing on our Old Pueblo trip right now so I’m unable to guarantee anything for Tubac. There have been so many people that have shared an interest in this trip so I will need to hold a drawing to see who will accompany us. This will be done towards the end of April. There are 3 parent volunteers who have worked in our class every week, the whole year. They have worked with the students and done about every task I could ask of them. These parents will be given the choice to go to Tubac first as a thank you for all of their help. I think there will be about 6 spots left after that. If you go to Tubac you MUST dress in 1885 attire. This is a requirement for all who enter the school house. For Old Pueblo, I will be drawing the names of the chaperones on Friday morning so if you want to join us please send in your yellow form by tomorrow. We’ll also go to the Oro Valley Town Hall on April 27. I really appreciate all the help with these trips. You do make a difference!
Spirit Day is Friday and it’s UofA day! I’ve encouraged all of our class to participate. It is also Student Store on Friday. Our class won 3rd place for the One for Books challenge!!! Thank you so much for helping with this cause. Our kiddos are excited!
Parent Input forms for next year are due this Friday. AIMS testing will be the week of April 16 and I know our class will do fabulous! The quarter grades end on Friday so ALL missing work is due by then. Remember all 1s and 2s (with the exception of a test) can be redone for a higher grade. All redos are due this Friday as well. I’ve been giving the timed tests a couple of times a week for the report cards. The kiddos have improved so much in this area! At this point everyone should be a 3 or a 4. I’ve been sending home the weekly timed tests so you can see the progress. If you would like extra practice sheets for home I’d be happy to send them, just let me know.
We have started our published book! The topic is “The A-Zs of AZ”. Each kiddo has a different letter and everything they write about will start with that letter and have to do with AZ! We’re very excited about this project. Look for order forms to come home after Spring Break.
One of my FAVORITE days of the year is Oscar Night. This night will be held the last week of school and it is such a special night for the kiddos. Over the break I’m going to be working on Oscar Night. If you have taken any pictures of our class at any of the functions I would LOVE to have copies! Please email the pictures or send them in on a disc and I’ll include them in our special night. Thank you!!!
Again, thank you for sharing your kids with me. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this group and they make my job so worth it. They’re going to be a hard group to give away. Have a wonderful break and let me know if you have any questions!

100th Birthday, Valentines, and SNOW!!!
Today was a special day with Valentine's Day and Arizona's 100th birthday but it got even better with the arrival of SNOW!!! The kiddos think that it was Arizona's birthday gift for turning 100. Our centers revolved around Arizona. We had the Mountain Man three-legged race and horse shoes, Anasazi pinch pots, and AZ activities galore! Thank you so much to our parent volunteers for organizing such a wonderful day for our class. Here are a few shots from today. Enjoy!
The kiddos called these Lady Gaga glasses and I have to agree with the resemblance!
What an amazing day!

Updates!
Hi Parents!
We said goodbye to Michael on Friday . We had a great last day with him but it was definitely hard to say goodbye. We look forward to writing to him and interacting with him on the blog.
Yesterday we got a new student! We want to welcome Nathan Martinez to our classroom. Nathan is from the Oro Valley area and already knows some of our kiddos. We’re happy to have him as part of our classroom family!
Friday is our Project Wet Field Trip! We’ll be learning all about the water cycle and systems at the water festival. We’ll leave PS around 10:15 and return around 2:30. Normal dismissal plans will be in place. Chaperones please meet in the classroom at 10:00. We will be eating lunch a little later than normal so it is a REALLY good idea to send your kiddo with a snack on Friday. We’ll eat snack before we board the busses. All kiddos need to wear their Ronnie’s Rascals shirts. Look for a reminder slip to come home tomorrow.
Arizona’s 100th Birthday/Valentine’s Celebration is on Tuesday. Thank you to Kay Snell and Rebecca Ford for organizing this! We’ll have Arizona inspired centers and celebrate this wonderful birthday. Be sure to ask your kiddos what they know about our great state. At the end of the day we’ll enjoy a birthday cake and exchange valentines. The kiddos are free to make their own box or bag at home or do one here in class on Monday. I know some already have something in mind at home so they’re welcome to bring it in. The class list is on the back of the red sheet that went home a few weeks ago. Please note that the Valentine’s list has changed. Michael is gone and we have another Nathan.
Please check the volunteer calendar on our website for updates and changes. I’ve moved some things around and there are a lot of openings we would love to fill! The newest calendar is online and current so if you want to add or switch your times just let me know!
Thanks for all of your help!

Our Fun Day!!
Our whole day was pretty fun exept for the fact that it was Michael's last day. First we started out by getting our stuff ready and doing the first half of spelling. After that we went to art, when we got back we finished our spelling test. Next, we had a guy from Mad Science come in and present about Electricity. He even gave us little science kits of our own! Then, we presented our cereal box commercials and went to nature shop. Next,we went to lunch and then had science. In science we raced cans using static electricity, and Michael won and became the flag man!! That was the end of our great day!! Everyone will miss Michael.
