I failed to mention at our workshop yesterday that if you want people to have the ability to post comments on your blog, you must adjust your privacy settings. Go to your "dashboard" and redirect to "settings". Here, you can click the appropriate spaces that will allow users to be able to post comments on your blog.

Journals

Our journals from this year have been sent home.  I know that this will make a treasured keepsake for many of you.  I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I have this year!

Tornado Relief Donations

Tornado relief items are still be accepted at school.  Refer to your donation sheet that went home last week for suggested items.  We have heard that baby items and band-aids are in high need.  Please send your items to school this week so that we may get them distributed to the relief drop-offs quickly.

Teacher Appreciation Week, May 2-6

During the week of May 2-6, we will be celebrating the efforts, love and dedication that our teachers give to us throughout the school year.  Each day focuses on a different theme that should be fun for your child and of little cost.  Please remember our wonderful Coach, librarian, gifted teacher, reading coach and others who may help your child on a daily basis.

Monday 2nd--"Teachers are Sweet"
Bring your teacher one sweet piece of candy.  This will make them "extra sweet".

Tuesday 3rd--"Thanks for Helping Us Grow"
Bring your teacher one flower from your yard or the store.  Together, the flowers will make a beautiful bouquet.

Wednesday 4th--"Shout Out"
Students can write a short story or poem for their teachers.

Thursday 5th--"Giving Back Day"
Students can bring one school supply item for their classroom.  This can be a box of crayons, glue stick or pack of paper, etc.

Friday 6th--"Apple of My Eye"
Students will receive one red paper apple from Ms. Head.  They will describe their teacher in just a few words. Help them think of special words and send it back to school on Friday.

**If you have any questions, please feel free to call Ms. Head at 256-315-5450
