Communication
Just a reminder that the best way to reach me is through my school email jparker@casdk12.net. If emailing is not handy for you, you may also give me a call at 344-3500 ext 3105.
Book Orders
Our last book order will be coming home on Friday (5/2/14) and will be due back to school on Thursday, May 8th.
Heads Up
Our last day of school will now be June 12th (1/2 day) due to the snow days.
Field Trips
It is coming up on the end of the school year and “field trip season”! I will be sending home a chart with the time, dates, and necessities for each of our trips just as soon as the dates are locked in for the June trips. Our first trip will be to Char’s Farm in Johannesburg on May 8th. The bus will be leaving the school at 8:45 and will be returning around 1:00. Char’s farm is home to the coop that our eggs came from. It also happens to be the home of the hens and roosters that we hatched last year. We will be looking at the needs and habitats, life cycles, and heredity of our soon to be chicks. Students will need a sack lunch. They may also order a sack lunch from the lunchroom. We will be stopping and eating lunch at the Sportsplex in Gaylord (weather permitting). Parents are welcome to join us, but they will need to drive separately. Our future trips will include: AuSable Institute, Hartwick Pines, Trustfall Records, the Fish Hatchery and Goodale’s.

Hot Reads
Be sure to check out our book recommendations and “hot reads” on display in our school and public library. You can also find those reviews on our website under the book reviews tab.

Snack
We are in need of snack donations again. Please send in a healthy snack to feed the 18 children in our class. Bananas, apples, string cheese, yogurt, pretzels, graham crackers, etc. make fantastic snacks. We do not send home a snack calendar. We simply expect a snack donation from each family at the beginning of each month.
