Last full day!

We have finished our last full week of school!!

We will be dismissing for half-days next week. If your child is staying for extended, they will need to bring their lunch. The dress code will be jeans and a t-shirt each day.

We had park day on Wednesday, and it was perfect! Everyone was on their best behavior and we had unbelievable weather. Our class played games of kickball and baseball and played on the playground for hours. The tire swing seemed to be the biggest hit of all! We also got to cheer on the seniors as they walked through the school before Baccalaureate.
Here are a few pictures from our fun-filled week!

Last Full Week of School!

How are we almost to the end of the year? Check the previous post for some fun pictures from field day- the kids had a blast!

This Wednesday, May 9th, we will have park day with the 4th grade. Students will need to bring a sack lunch and a drink. More information will be coming soon.

Awards day will be May 16th. I'll be sending an email to the parents of the students who will be receiving an award. Every single student has done an exceptional job this year and has showed tremendous growth.

Here are a few pictures from part of our simple machines unit that we have been working on. Have a great weekend!

Willy Wonka and Field Day

I wanted to start off by saying how proud I am of the students who participated in the Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory play this past weekend. They all did a wonderful job! I've attached a few pictures below for those that were not able to see it in person.

Today, we had Field Day and it was perfect. We had beautiful weather for all 16 students to do endless activities. We raced, did gymnastics, bounced around, and finished with tug-o-war against the 4th grade. Our class giggled their way through the entire day. Be sure and check out the class pictures from the fun-filled day!

Next week will mainly be a review week and then May 13-17 (half-days) will be the last week of school. They have had such a great year and I cannot wait for them to finish strong. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Achievement Tests are over!

I am so proud of your kids for doing such a wonderful job on their achievement tests this week; They kept their focus throughout the entire week. We were still celebrating from Boosterthon with many fun events. Mr. Riley had to wear Tennessee orange and get pied in the face because our school raised $15,000- Way to go!! After we finished pieing Mr. Riley in the face, we got to go watch the older kids run in their ColorRun.  We also had a kickball game with the 4th grade as one of their money incentives. Next Friday, the 27th, is field day, which will consists of fun physical activities outside- we hope you will be able to join us for part of the day. Here are a few pictures from our past week.

Jukebox Time Machine

The 3rd and 4th grade students put on a wonderful performance for Jukebox Time Machine! I was blown away by all the hard work that they put into the play, and it definitely paid off! Below, I have included some pictures from the actual play. Once again, I just want to say THANK YOU to the parents for all the hard work you put in as well. The play could not have happened without you all!

This past week, we started our class garden. At some point in the upcoming week, we will be moving it from our classroom to our class planter out behind STEM. Another big thing happening this week, is achievement testing; Testing will take place on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

Monday, April 16th, is the art show! EACH student will have a piece of their artwork framed. On this night only, you can purchase the frame to go along with their artwork. We would love for you to come out from 6-8 pm and see all of the wonderful artwork!

Happy Easter

This past week we built catapults, had a wonderful Chapel speaker, and celebrated Easter a little early. On Thursday, were lucky enough to have pizza provided for lunch, as well as a class party to kick off our 3 day weekend. Next week, we will learn more about Africa, simple machines, and comparing fractions. 

Reminder for a few upcoming events: 

-Spring Sprint Fun Run is on April 6th- Keep working to collect pledges for your child! More information will be coming soon on the schedule for that day. 

-The 3rd and 4th grade play is April 10th! Please work on your child's costumes, and be on the lookout for more information from Mrs. Northcutt.

April will be a busy month but we look forward to all the fun events we get to share with you all!

Enjoy your long Easter weekend spent with family and loved ones!

Castle Quest and the Nashville Zoo

What an exciting week it has been! We kicked off our Castle Quest which is our theme for Spring Sprint. Be sure that you have signed your child up on www.funrun.com. Right now, the current challenge is to raise $2 more dollars per lap. Prizes are given for each pledge that is given. Here is a picture of the fun pep rally they had to kick off the event!

Another fun thing we did was take our field trip to the Nashville Zoo! We split up into groups to explore the zoo and see all the different animals. Then we enjoyed lunch and games in the open field. Lastly, they got to end the day playing on the zoo playground. Here are a few pictures that were snapped when the students were actually sitting still! 

Be sure to keep raising pledges for Castle Quest!!!
