Week of May 7, 2012

Exciting events in our classroom: The spring concert turned out wonderful!  Thank you Ms. Betzold and students for all your hard work! The Flat Stanleys have been sent out.  I hope to get them back in a few weeks to learn more about other areas of WI and the country. The 4th graders have decided to have a bake sale this Wednesday, May 9th from 11:30-12:30.  This is our religion service project.  We are trying to raise money for the Relay for Life which is for the American Cancer Society.  I'm asking each student to bring 1 or 2 items to sell at the bake sale.  Thanks for your help! I'm still missing a few report cards.  Please sign them and get them back to me as soon as you can.  If you have any questions, please contact me.                CLASSROOM WISH LIST                   electric pencil sharpener                   pencils and pencil top erasers
