Language Arts- Tomorrow if they have a costume to change into, they should just have it in a bag and we will keep it in the closet until showtime! I have talked to them about things they can wear…so they should have an idea. The villagers and women should look older, not kids. The 3 girls and brother are kids…dress as they would for school. Pablo is older man in the community….mass day clothes and a hat. Manuel…white shirt if possible. I will have the apron and cap for him. Remember the play is only about 10 minutes.

Lap-A-Thon-Thursday, April 25 is the Lap-a-Thon. Students should bring a water bottle and a possible second pair of shoes…sometimes it is very muddy over there. They can wear their shorts or sweatpants to run. They can wear headsets and play music if they like during their run.  If it is raining or they decide the ground is too wet, the rain date is April 25.

Clean-Up Day- We are planning once again to clean up the school grounds on Friday, April 26. If you have a rake that would be great! Make sure to put your name on it. You can leave it by the office. If your kids have work gloves, they should bring those to school as well.

5^th Grade Field Trip- We will be attending the Iowa Children’s Water Festival at DMACC in Ankeny on May 9, 2013. I am looking for drivers. Please check your schedules for that day. We will be gone from 8-4. Let me know as soon as possible.

Math- They could possibly be testing over this chapter on Monday or Tuesday.

I hope you have a great weekend!  I am possibly heading back to Doon this weekend; it will depend on their snow!

God Bless,

Miss Surma
