Well hello everyone.  Well, we are down to the last 20 days of school.  I can't believe how this year has passed us by.  I cry every time I think about this class moving on without me.  I have really enjoyed teaching this group of kids this year.  

     Anyways, I wanted to let you know that we have finished the Language part of the End of Level testing.  I think the students did great.  They all took their time to get through the questions and from what I could tell, they all really felt good about the test.  We start the Math tests next week and we will be taking those on Monday, May 3rd and Thursday, May 6th.  The last test day will be on Monday, May 10th and that test will be on the Science we have learned this year.  Thank you for having your kids here every day, it is so very much appreciated. 

     Be sure to watch for the newsletter coming home next Wednesday.  It will have all of our end of year activities on it, so if I happen to miss something in my Blog, you can read it in the newsletter.

     Some of the most recent activities coming up are:  The Root-beer float party for the students that took the UTIPS tests will be on Tuesday, May 11th.  The Middle School Tour will be Thursday, May 13th.  Our Zion Field Trip will be Friday, May 14th.   Orchestra students need to remember their concert on Tuesday, May 18th at 6:00, at Cedar High School.  On Wednesday, May 19th we will be holding our annual Wax Museum from 9:00 to 11:00.  We will be having an ice cream party for the Judicial award for Reading Revolution, on Wednesday, May 20th.  On Friday, May 21st we will be celebrating the Congressional award  with a movie and popcorn party.  We will also be performing our Memorial Day program on this day, for parents and the school.  The program will be at 2:30.  Hope of America winners will be recognized at this program, as well.  On Monday, May 24th we will be having our Field Day.  On Tuesday, May 25th there will be breakfast in the park for the Presidential winners.  On Wednesday, May 26th we will be celebrating our last Worker's Holiday.  We will be having a tent day.  On Friday, May 28th we will be having our last day of school.  School will let out at 2:30.

     I know there is a lot to remember, but letters will be coming home to remind you all of the upcoming events for the rest of the year.  Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.  Thanks for all of  your help this year.  It has been a pleasure getting to know all of you and I hope all of you have a great summer. (If it ever gets here.)  Take care.  Sincerely, Mrs. Little
