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 34
Please do not forget to turn in all permission slips and money for our field trip on Thursday. Your child will not be able to join us if we don't have those items. Also, those children that ended in their day on orange or red the days leading up to field trip day, must stay home. Thank you to those parents who have volunteered their time to chaperone. You can meet us at school by 9:15 am for our 9:30 am departure.
DIBELS UPDATE: Our class will do DIBELS assessments on Wednesday, May 16th and Thursday, May 17th. We had to switch days with Ms. Neuman's class to accommodate a conflict in her schedule. Please make sure your child is rested and ready!
Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful mothers! Because of you, our class is full of love and life that the children bring in with them every morning. Thank you for all you do in making your child who they are!
Congratulations to Tyonna Butler, this week's Student of the Week. Tyonna's dimpled smile brings warmth and fun to the classroom - she is a star in the making!

Week 33
Thank you so much for all of your contributions towards the spring festival. We had such a great turnout and had such a wonderful time. We could not have done it with out you!
DIBELS testing has been scheduled for Monday, May 14 and Tuesday, May 15. Please make sure your child is fed a hearty breakfast and comes to school well rested. We want to get the best we can out of each child so we can get the most accurate assessment of their progress.
Permission slips are going home this week for our field trip to Thompson Farms. It has been made abundantly clear to the students that if they end their day on orange or red between now and the day of the field trip, they will be staying home. Simple rules, such as staying in their seat, listening, raising their hand, etc. are expected to be followed as well as the more serious offenses. Please encourage your child to be on their best behavior so that they are able to experience this fun opportunity.
The Conway Fire Department will be here tomorrow to speak with our students about Fire Safety/Careers. They are bringing their Safe House and the presentations will take place inside of the Safe House. Our class is scheduled for 1:30 pm. Talk about fire safety with your child tonight to prepare them for tomorrow's presentation and to reinforce the significance of this topic.
The Student of the Week this week is Mahala Storm. Her kind and sweet demeanor is a constant ray of sunshine in our class. Congratulations to her!!

Week 32
It has been quite a transition getting back into the groove after spring break! But to get the kids focused and back on track, we are dangling our spring field trip like a carrot in front of their faces :) We have planned a trip to Thompson Farms for Thursday, May 10th. The cost per child is $10, which covers the ticket price plus a portion of our transportation. The school has been kind enough to afford the remaining transportation cost in order to keep our per child ticket price down. We will be sending out a permission slip for you to sign that will need to be returned with the money.
With much excitement, I want everyone to know that we will be in our new school starting the 2012-2013 school year! We have purchased the old Pee Dee Elementary out on Hwy 378 and are currently in the midst of renovating the property. We will have SOOOOO much space!!! Yeah!!!! Stay tuned for more details on that.
End of year DIBELS assessments will take place towards the end of May. We are shooting for the week of May 21st, but will let you know when we have a concrete date. Please, please, please be working with your child on weekly concepts so that they are being reinforced at home. This will also help keep the material fresh in their minds as the DIBELS date approaches.
Our spring festival is this Saturday! You do not want to miss it. Fabulous items have been donated for our silent auction as well as our gift baskets which will be auctioned off. There will be inflatables, games, face painting (come see me there), hair painting - you name it. The festival will take place behind the school from 11 am to 2 pm. Buy advanced tickets at the school!
Jordan Moultrie is the Student of the Week this week. Congratulations to him for a great week and for working hard to set a great example for the class.

Week 29
Thank you so much for those who attended the parent/teacher conferences I scheduled last week. If there were any times that conflicted with your schedules and you would like to reschedule, please let me know. I will be happy to meet with you any time.
We are currently planning the Festival of Hope, which will be held on Apr. 28th, 11am - 2 pm. We really need volunteers to help with games, set up/clean up and other various duties. If you are able to volunteer, please let me know so we can utilize you. We are also auctioning off themed baskets at the festival. Each classroom is responsible for organizing a basket - our theme is sports. If you're able to donate a sports related item to include, we would GREATLY appreciate it!
Spring Break starts on Friday. The kids will not return to school until April 16th. I hope you all enjoy this time with your child/ren. We will be ready to go full blast once they return - only 6 more weeks!!!
Congrats to Jonathan Galloway, our Student of the Week. Jonathan is extremely active and LOVES P.E. He works hard in the classroom and enjoys being engaged in classroom activities.
