Middle of April ALREADY!  Wow!  It is going to be the end of June before we know it.  I hope everyone had a restful weekend and are prepared to get tons of work done in this short week. Monday we will be starting our research for our Heritage Fair projects on the Titanic.  I can't wait to see what the students pull together for this.  We have been doing so much work on it in class, I know they are going to be amazing projects.  Outdoor recess starts on Monday too, so the students will be going outside for both 10:10 and 12:00 recess. Tuesday, is the "Harkins Has Healthy Hearts Walking Club".  They will be meeting at 4pm at the Strawberry Marsh.  All students, parents and staff are encouraged to attend.  I'm hoping that Mr. Flynn will move this event to Mondays or Wednesdays so that I can join you, but Tuesdays I have a prior committment.  Wedesnday is our French day again.  We all seemed to enjoy this day! Thursday, I will be away getting my First Aid at the District Office, but you will continue working on our projects with your supply teacher. Don't forget that there is no school on Friday!!  Enjoy your week!

Welcome to the month of April!  April showers bing May flowers, and May will be here before we know it.  Hopefully the showers will hold off though. This week we have lots of fun.  It is a short week but we are packing as much work and fun into the four days as we can, starting off with Monday being Hat Day in support of Autism.  Students can wear their hat for the day for the price of one dollar.  Tuesday, the Toy Sale is extended so if your child didn't get to purchase a toy, or she would like to purchase something else, the toy store will be open for shopping.  Bring your purse! Hump Day will bring us to working on our Titanic Projects during the alotted PBL time from 2-3pm.  This is just getting off the ground and will be explaining what will be expected of them. Our final day for the week will be Thursday.  There is Easter Dinner that day in the cafeteria.  They will be serving Ham, pancake, syrup, milk, and icecream for the price of $5.  Please pay by April 4th so that the cafeteria knows how many to expect.  Prizes will be available to win.  As well on our final day we are visiting with our Croft Buddies.  We will be walking over to Croft after dinner and returning to the school to catch the bus.  They will be viewing their final projects on the Middle Ages, and playing some fun educational games with them.  I know they will enjoy it. I want to take this time to wish everyone a very Happy Easter, and remember, there is no school next Monday either for Easter Monday.  Enjoy the long weekend!
