Week of April 22, 2019

Dear Parents,
Thank you for your help with the Recycle Projects!  They look great and the students are excited to share them.  It wasn’t in the plan, but we started to share a few of them today.  We will share the rest next week.
This was our last official week of Cougar Time Reading groups.  We will continue to work on reading groups within our own classroom.
We will visit the Makerspace on Thursday the 25th at 8:30 to work on Colors of Light and kaleidoscopes.  We would love 4-5 parent helpers. The more parents, the more projects we can do!   
We would also love toilet paper roll donations for this project.
The school is participating a fundraiser this week for Relay for Life. It is called "Silver Saves Lives." If your child would like to participate, s/he can bring some silver coins (no pennies, please) and add them to our jar in the classroom to help fundraise for cancer research. The winning classroom gets a pizza party AND if the school collects $1000, Mrs. Bailey will dye her hair purple!
I hope you have a nice weekend!
