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.
