Hello parents,

The kids are getting very excited about the camping trip to Bandelier next week (Thursday 5/22 & Friday 5/23).  They have gear checklists in their homework folder that will help them plan and pack for the adventure.  Ask them about it. 

If you are a chaperone, please read the attached materials and plan to attend our MEETING this Monday, May 19th, in the classroom at 3:30.  My hope is that I can lay out the plan and discuss your responsibilities and field any questions - all in about 1/2 hour.  I know your time is valuable and will try to get us out the door quickly.

Lastly, I want to tell you all Thank YOU for all the lovely goodies last week for Teacher Appreciation week. The pass to Ojo and gift certificate at Video Casa were very thoughtful - and I'll very much enjoy using them once the dust settles in June.

Again, many thanks and see you at the meeting on Monday!

Cheers,

Kelly

Hello lovely parents, 

Our field trip to Bandelier National Monument and Tsankawi is quickly approaching.  Please read over the lists of NEEDS, Chaperones, and tents.  Please respond to these needs surveys asap so I can compile our gear and follow up on needs.  I will be providing a hard copy GEAR Check List to the kiddos this week in hopes that they will take responsibility for packing their own stuff.  There is a Parent Permission Form that will also need to be signed and returned to me.  

Huge thanks to Lori Weichart and Liana Bayles.  They will do the food shopping for us and pack coolers.  I will be holding a meeting with all Chaperones on MONDAY, May 19, immediately after school to discuss duties, responsibilities and the itinerary.  Please watch for for more information specific to chaperones to follow later this week.  

Many thanks! Let the rumpus begin!

Hello parents,

I just wanted to remind you that our Spring Performance is this Wednesday night, at 6:30 pm, at the Bataan Hall.  Students should arrive a few minutes early and in COSTUME.  We will be working on making 'toga' type costumes in Art class this Tuesday - as everyone is expected to dress up as a citizen (or slave) from Ancient Greece, or as their favorite God or Goddess.  Thus why I have asked for old sheets to be delivered to the classroom.  If you'd like to help us with the costume making, stop by the class on Tuesday from 2-3pm. Thanks!  

Homework this weekend was [] memorize the Greek Rap, [] Read bookclub book and complete Role, or if finished reading, they should be working on the final project: a Bookbag Report.  Math - S.L. 7.12

Many thanks, 

Kelly
