BIG Week

As the weeks pass by, quicker and quicker it seems, we have so much yet to accomplish. This week is a big one for us. Beginning tomorrow morning students will present themselves as the famous African Americans the researched. I sent a note home last week letting you know what day your child would present. Students whose last names are A-G will present Monday, H-M go on Tuesday, and P-T on Wednesday. On the given day, the students are to come to school in costume, but don't forget to bring SSA to change into later. Parents are invited to join us and watch. If you can't make it, don't worry; I plan on taking plenty of pictures. A few students who do well on their presentations will get a chance to present again during the program Thursday night.

Speaking of Thursday, I hope you are planning on attending. Look for information to come home tomorrow. You will have an opportunity to register for sessions covering a variety of topics. The evening will end with the fourth grade program in the auditorium. The students have been working with Mrs. Alley to learn songs about African American history. Students are asked to come dressed as their famous person for the program.

Book orders are due this Friday. Don't forget you can order online HERE. (class: karraker password: bookorder)

This Friday also marks the deadline for making the second installment toward the LCO. This payment is $10; checks can be made out to Jones Paideia. Can you believe we are only eleven weeks away? It will be here before we know it. After Spring Break we will be sending home packing recommendations and final paperwork. We will also have another parent meeting to go over last minute questions. Stay tuned.

Have a good week, and I hope to see you Thursday if not earlier!
