Dear Families,
You might remember the district-wide program we've started this year called the Rachel's Challenge. Spears has really experienced a huge success with this initiative and our students have really understood the meaning and value of random acts of kindness. It's time to celebrate all our successes at the Rachel's Rally tomorrow night. The event is for all of Frisco ISD and we invite all your family and friends to come and be a part of very special and monumental occasion. We will be combining all of the chains collected from every school in the district as a symbol of the chain reaction we've created! We've been talking about this event at school so your little ones should know all about it. Hope to see you there! Come and look for the Spears banner and support our school!
What: Rachel's Rally:Start a Chain Reaction
Where: Memorial Stadium
When: May 25, 2010; 6:30pm - 8:30pm
Guest Speaker: Darrell Scott, Rachel's Daddy

Mark Kistler Program
Mark Kistler
Everyone, hold up your work!
K-2nd grade sitting so nice!
The kids asked me to take a picture of the overhead. He borrowed the one from our room. They told me they feel famous today!
This morning after Huddle we had an assembly featuring Mark Kistler. The kids were wonderful! Because of the length of Huddle this morning and the assembly we were not in our classroom to work before lunch and recess started. So the only work your child will bring home from our morning is 4 pictures they drew with Mark. Our class even got to keep one of his pictures! I made a copy for everyone! Mark gave the kids his website that has some more of his work. The kids thought he was really cool because he even has his own iPhone app!

Our Busy Schedule
Dear Parents,
I was updating my calendar this morning and thought I would send a reminder out about all the events coming up over the next 3 weeks! This time of year can be chaotic for the adults as well the children. Hopefully this will help keep us all organized! Your child's schedule may change daily, but for the most part we will try to keep our routine as normal as possible. At this time of year that's almost impossible so please help us out by reminding your kids they are still in school and the same rules apply no matter what the schedule is - thanks!
Tomorrow, May 14th: Mark Kistler Program for the kids provided by PTA. Also, Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast in the library following Huddle. If you have volunteered this year at Spears please stop by and have some snacks courtesy of the teachers here at Spears. Thanks for everything this year!!
Monday, May 17th: Kid to Kid Tour at 2:00 for the new kindergartners coming to Spears next year. Your child will be their tour guide and do activities with the preschoolers. Very cool!
Wednesday, May 19th: All guided reading books need to be returned. We will continue with reading during the day and not send home books. Book orders are due!
Thursday, May 20th: Last day for library!
Friday, May 21st: Field Day 9 - 11 oustide on the playground. Don't forget to send a sack lunch if you did not sign up with the cafeteria!! Also, LAST day to return library books!
Tuesday, May 25th: Rachel's Challenge Rally at Memorial Stadium 6 pm
Monday, May 31st: No School - Memorial Day
Tuesday, June 1st: 5th grade Graduation 6:30 in the Spears Cafeteria
Friday, June 4th: Last Day of School - End of Year Party 9:15 - 10:15. Some parents have already asked me if they can take their child home after the party. This is up to you, but the answer is yes you can. If you decide to take them home in the morning you won't be able to bring them back in the afternoon. Sometimes kindergarteners are very excited to leave while others have a hard time with the goodbyes. Again, this is up to you!
On all the other days teachers will be doing end of year and report card assessments individually with each student. While we are doing these children will practice their 1st grade skills and work independently. It's a busy time of year to say the least! If any other important news comes my way I'll pass it along to you.
Have a great night!

Library tomorrow!
Hi Families! Can you believe we only have 19 more school days?! We are in full swing up here! I'll be doing a lot of end of year assessments and just sending new guided reading books home for practice. I'll still be meeting with some groups in the morning.
Also, Mrs. Guerrerro will be having special projects in the library until the end of the year. She needed to reschedule our library time for this week so we will go tomorrow morning first thing. This will be the last time they are checking out books this year. It might be a good idea to just have your child keep his/her books in their backpacks every day just in case. Thanks!
**All STUDENT books are due on May 21st, which is Friday of next week.
Here's a note from the cafe about lunches:
Dear Parents,
This Friday, May 14th, is the last day checks will be accepted for student lunch accounts. The last day to charge (a student overdrawing their account) is May 21st. If this happens, CASH ONLY will be accepted to bring the account current.
** Remember, when an account goes over $5.00 negative, the child is served an alternative meal.......juice and 2 sides ONLY.........the children generally do not like this meal**.
Please see that this does not happen, so the child can eat a well-balanced yummy meal!
Have a great day!
