Week of May 5-9, 2008

Hello,
Our first week of testing went very well. Thank you for the providing the fresh and nutritious snacks. They were a big hit with the students and the teacher. Testing will finish this week with the three remaining tests. There will be homework, but it will be a light week!!. A good opportunity for more reading, the next book report, working on geography, and getting ready for next week's vocabulary test in science.

Just a few reminders:
1. Please return the Boardwalk permission slip.

2. Fabric and $5.00 needs to be in this week. Remember it's either a "fat quarter" or a 1/2 yard of material.

3. Next book report is due on May 15.

I'd like to share this Chinese saying which always comes to mind as I think of Mother's Day.
"The rain falls on all the fields, but crops only grow in those that have been tiled and sown."

I send my warmest and most sincere praise for everything you do for your children and families everyday. Happy Mother's Day!!

Best regards,
Melanie Jaynes
