Track & Field Day: We are looking forward to Track & Field Day on Tuesday, May 5 at the Edgar Brown Memorial Stadium. The events will begin at 8:30 and end at 2:00. Children can be dropped off and picked up at the stadium. If those times don’t fit in your schedule you may drop students off and pick them up at TCJA. We will then ferry the children over by car or bus. We’re looking for adult helpers for the day so if you’re able to spend the day with us we’d put you to work.

Remember to slather your student in sun screen for the day. Please send water and a sack lunch. Hopefully the weather will cooperate.

Streams of Light: The first and second grade class has been asked to sing for the Education Rally on Sabbath, May 9 at the Kennewick High Auditorium sometime between 9:30-10:30. Thank you for responding to the green note earlier this week. I’m still looking for a few which haven’t been turned in yet. It looks like we’ll have a good group of students participating.

Monday: I will be taking a personal day on Monday. (There is another important musical event in Boise!) Mrs. O will be taking over for the day.

Walk to the River: On Tuesday afternoon we made a short field trip to the river to see the baby geese. Thankfully Sasha’s mom was with us so there was an adult at the front of the line as well as at the end. It was a beautiful day and we were rewarded with seeing many babies. The grown-up geese didn’t let us get close to their young but we could see them well from a distance.

Singing: The first and second grade class has been asked to sing for the Education Rally on Sabbath, May 9 at the Kennewick High Auditorium sometime between 9:30-10:30. I will send a note home next week to ask if your student will be able to meet that appointment.

Healthy Snack: We had fun on Wednesday making a healthy snack face using flour tortillas. Most of the students enjoyed eating their creation which may have included peanut butter, cream cheese, almond butter or humus topped with carrots to look like hair, sunflower seeds, banana slices, dried cranberries or raisins to complete the face.

Shoes: More students have been wearing flip-flops to school since the warm weather hit. Be sure that your student brings sneakers to wear for PE. Crocs, sandals, flip-flops are not appropriate running gear. Actually I’d appreciate it if no student wore flip-flops in my classroom. Young students have trouble keeping them on their feet.

Glue: Several students have used up their glue sticks. A couple of new ones for the last 7 weeks of the school year would be nice! My stash is also running low.

Happy Birthday: Isaac turns 8 next Wednesday, April 22. Happy Birthday, Isaac!

Visitation Day: Monday, April 6, is visitation day in our classroom from 8:00-11:30 AM. We will be doing some special activities with the Kindergarten children who will spend the morning with us. If you know anyone who might like to visit TCJA, invite them to join us that morning.

Pizza-Hut Book-it Program: The month of March was the last month for the book-it program with free pizza from Pizza-Hut. Bailey, Makenzie, Drew, & Sasha each turned in 240 or more minutes for the free pizza coupon on Wednesday, April 1.

I will continue to send home reading calendars because the children need to continue reading at home even if there is no reward other than becoming better readers!
