There are less than two months left of school, and there is going to be a lot happening over the course of those remaining weeks. To begin with, please remember that this Wednesday (April 29th) is a noon dismissal for students. Friday, May 1st is also a big day. At 9:00am we will be treated to a presentation about the Maasai of Kenya. Feel free to join us, if you are available. The students will also be performing their Spanish skit Friday afternoon at 12:35. The class has been practicing their lines for several weeks and designed their own masks during Art class. The performance will take place in Mrs. Pogue's first grade classroom and only takes about ten minutes, so if you would like to be in the audience I would suggest showing up a few minutes early. I know the students would appreciate the support. Finally, any money raised for Jump Rope 4 Heart is due on Friday.
The following week (May 4th - May 8th) will be Spirit Week. Monday is national Star Wars day so students may dress like a Star Wars character and/or bring in a light saber (for use at recess only). Tuesday is random acts of kindness day. Wednesday is mismatch day. Thursday is hat day, and Friday is pajama day. As part of Spirit Week, we will also be decorating our door that week to represent the state of Florida. The students are already full of ideas, so I can't wait to see what they come up with.
Other Important Dates:
Weeks of May 11th and May 18th - SBAC Testing and Science NECAPs
Tuesday, May 26th - Memorial Day Assembly at 9am
Friday, June 5th - Fourth grade field trip to Calvin Coolidge's homestead in Plymouth, VT (Please contact me if you would like to be a chaperone for this trip.)

Health Week was a great success! Students enjoyed learning about massage and reiki and hearing about Mr. Pogue's adventures on the Appalachian Trail. On Friday the whole school gathered to present a large donation to the Norris Cotton Cancer Center. Enjoy the pictures!

Health Week
There will be many special events happening this week as a part of Health Week at HES. The activities vary a bit from grade to grade, so here is a run-down of what our class will be doing each day.
Monday - A presenter will share the benefits of massage and teach some simple techniques that individuals can use to help stay alert when tired or to calm down when stressed.
Tuesday - The class will participate in Jump Rope for Heart. The fundraising envelopes went home in the Friday Folder. Students will have until after April Break to collect donations.
Wednesday - A presenter will share about the Japanese technique of Reiki. I have to admit that I don't know much about Reiki, so this will be a learning experience for me as well.
Thursday - Mr. Pogue will talk about his adventures hiking the Appalachian Trail.
Friday - The day will begin with a special, school-wide assembly.
Each day there is also a special color that students are encouraged to wear. Students will be offered a healthy snack of that color at snack time.
Monday - Red
Tuesday - Yellow/Orange
Wednesday - Blue/Purple
Thursday - Green
Friday - Pink (Students are encouraged to wear their pink breast cancer awareness shirts, if they purchased one)
Also, the April book order was sent home on Friday. It is due back on Thursday, April 9th, which hopefully means we should receive the books shortly after returning from break.
