April Showers


Oh my goodness, is it really already April? Do I post a comment like that each month?! :) We have been working SO hard this week and have accomplished so much in our learning, not only that but everyone has really BEEN GREAT at cooperatively learning and being part of our classroom community. I sure hope that's a sign that winter doldrums have passed and the fresh energy of spring has arrived!


A few quick notes:

§ Fargo Force and Redhawks Reading minutes MUST have been turned in today to receive prizes!!!

§ Our reading incentive programs have come to an end, but continuing to read nightly has night! We are having our own little contest in April so the kids can still in prizes out of my "Junk Box". They need to continue to read 200 minutes a week. Go reading!

§ Tomorrow we will travel to  Concordia College, to take in the percussion ensemble concert for our Learning Bank Experience. I absolutely LOVE this concert and can't wait for the students to hear the amazing music! In anticipation of some of the kiddos coming home and asking to play drums, please make sure that if you pursue percussion in band that your son or daughter begins piano lessons ASAP. Percussion students are required to have 2 years of piano! (according to my sources...)

§ The students are buzzing with the news that Westside will once again have a spring carnival! The event will be Thursday, May 2nd, and all funds raised will go to benefit the Schaeffer family and help to offset medical expenses. Please see the Westside Newsletter for event details. Our silent auction basket letter went home yesterday.

§ Mid-term reports for Trimester 3 will be sent home next Friday (April 12th).

More information and photos of recent learning and projects to follow soon!!!
