Week 37 - FINAL WEEK

We are in the final stretch!  We've had a couple of changes to our schedule, so please advise.  Tomorrow (Wednesday) will now be game day AND pajama day.  Your child may bring a game of their choice and come in their pajamas. 

Thursday is now FIELD DAY!!  The entire school will participate in field day at the Conway Recreation Center.  Please make sure your child is in uniform and wearing sneakers.  No slip on shoes - we prefer ones that tie.  We will have bag lunches available for all students unless they plan to bring their own bag lunch.

The weekly schedule is as follows:

Wednesday - Game Day & Pajama Day
Thursday - Field Day
Friday - End of Year Program & Last Day

Please join for the End of the Year program on Friday.  Refreshments will be served for parents and guests at 8:00 am with the program following at  8:30 am.  Students will be served breakfast in their classrooms beginning at 7:30 am.

Report cards and summer work packets will go home on FRIDAY.  If your child is not going to be here for any reason, please notify us so we can make sure these documents get home.

Congratulations to Casey Soisson!  He is this week's Student of the Week. 

Week 36

I am out today with a yucky bug of some sort, but want to make sure I update everyone for this week.  Wednesday is GRADUATION!  Can you believe it?  It will take place in the Muli-Purpose Room beginning at 9:30.  There is a reception that will follow.  We hope to see everyone there.

There is NO HOMEWORK this week.  Instead, we will be sending home a summer packet next week full of great activities that will hopefully keep your child in the "school state of mind" and will further prepare him/her for 1st grade.

Don't forget that Monday, May 28th there is no school.  School is closed for the Memorial Day holiday.

We were so busy with DIBELS testing last week (everyone did AWESOME) that I never got around to posting to the blog, which means last week's Student of the Week went unrecognized.  Congratulations to Jamauri Davis for receiving that honor.  This week's Student of the Week is DerryIana Holmes.  She has done an amazing job in the classroom and works very hard academically.

Week 25

We have some exciting additions to our daily schedule this week.  In addition to yoga on Thursday afternoons, the children will now participate in jewelry making on Monday afternoons.  This will be a 4 week extracurricular activity that will foster creativity and fine motor skills.  We will also be implementing music on Wednesdays and Fridays!  We are so excited about these new additions, so please ask your children how they are enjoying their new experiences.  There will be more additions in the following weeks.

On Wednesday at 2:30 we will be putting on a school wide Black History Month Program.  Parents are invited to join us in our celebration which will take place in the Multi-Purpose Room.  Students will be reciting poems, singing songs and reading script associated with black history.

I will be attending the South Carolina Charter School Conference on Friday.  I hope to bring back some valuable information, not only to the classroom, but to the Academy of Hope as a whole.

Congratulations to Jonathan Galloway!  He is our Student of Week!
