Week of May 31 - June 4

Weekly Agenda coming later!!!

 Woohoo!!! We are down to 10 days. I know we are going to finish the year strong. We are still working hard and I know that from our participation and work. They know that if it is not up to par, that means more work for them. To celebrate their hard work, we will have Gator Games on this Tuesday, June 1st. 

For Gator Games, we are asking that students do not wear bathing suits but they can bring a change of clothes. This year, Gator Games will look a little different, of course. Our theme is Gator Game Olympics and the country we are representing is Chile. Since we do not have field day shirts, the students can use old white t-shirts to draw their country's flag or anything symbolic of that country, paint their face the colors of the country's flag, or dress in appropriate clothing symbolic of Chile. We have researched Chile and even created a one pager with some fun facts about it. So they are more than prepared. They do not have to dress as if they were from Chile or even wear something with the flag, it's just an idea since we did not sell shirts this year. This way, everyone can participate.


We also celebrated by having a fun class lemonade stand contest. They had to make signs for their "lemonade stand" and I had other teachers judge them using 3 different categories: creativity, persuasiveness, and an actual lemonade stand sign. Everyone received something but the 1st place winners received  a large bottle of Bubbles, the" honorable mention" winners received a smaller "Superhero" bottle, and everyone received a BlowPop for participating.

This is a week of celebrations as you can tell. We also had those who participated in the Reading Counts program. Let's congratulate those who won prizes for earning Reading Counts prizes:

 Well, we made it through another week!! We have a few more to go and Spring Break will be here before we realize it. We began the week with finishing up our book clubs and are finishing the week with our "College Day". You will see pics from both below. We were out Thursday and I'm glad the district thought of our safety first. Another good thing was we do not have to make up a day for being out, thanks to the virtual world. This week, we will have 2 asynchronous days, in which the students will stay home but log on to our Google Classroom and go through the Pathway to complete assignments. The 2 days are this Thursday and Friday, March 25th and March 26th. No new learning will occur on those days, but students will still be responsible for completing and turning in assignments to be graded. Students will log on at 9 and will be working virtually from home on both days on material that we have already covered. My office hours both days will be from 9-11 AM in case there

 Well, here's to another long weekend!!! I hope their asynchronous day went smoothly. I was in the Google Classroom during my office hours and a few of them reached out to me. Remember, Monday, March 29th, is the new Spring picture day. Students can bring a change of clothes so they can feel comfortable after taking their picture. Also, remember we are out Friday, April 1st in observance of Good Friday! Y'all, I can't believe Spring Break is already here. We will be out from April 1st-April 9th. We will return on April 12th. MAP testing will happen the following week. Are you ready for the countdown to summer?!  Have a great weekend and I can't wait to see their bright faces on Monday!!

Thank you for all of my awesome teacher appreciation gifts!! I even was treated to San Jose this week. I received a lot of my favorite snacks (popcorn, Werther's, and mini Chips Ahoy) as well as some gift cards to my favorite restaurants and stores. Thank you so much for everything!! Thank you for being so supportive as well. We are all one community and I wouldn't be able to do it without your support!! I hope what the kids take with them is always give their best, believe they can accomplish anything they desire!! Thanks for sharing your babies with me! Unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to see them today (though every week is Teacher Appreciation Week) because I had an emergency come up, but I will be back on Monday.  With testing coming up next week (the week of the 17th), we are going to be spending the next week just focusing on math and reading. So, no new notes in science and social studies until after the 19th. We are focusing on geometry, measurement, an
