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!
Mrs. Dooley
