Week of April 29th

Upcoming Events/Reminders
  • Tuesday evening is Jumpoline Night from 5-7pm. Teachers will be on hand to jump with the kids. Part of the proceeds earned is returned directly to WBE! This is a great fundraiser for us and great opportunity for your children to release some extra energy. $7 per jumper. Every jumper has to sign a waiver. Waivers can be accessed online in advance.  Jumpers must wear socks. You can arrive early to get checked in a sign waiver.
  • Friday is Field Day!! Parent Volunteers are still needed by the PE coaches. If you would like to volunteer, please let me know and I'll pass your e-mail on to them. Please be sure your child wears their CLASS SHIRT on Friday! So that you or your child doesn't forget, they can bring their shirt to school earlier in the week and leave it with me. Field Day will not start for us until 12:45. Parents are welcome to join us for Field Day festivities. Students should remember to bring a bottle of water and sunscreen!!
  • We will be going on 3 Field Trips in May. The permission slips have all been sent home. The newest is the Alamo on May 17th. Please notice that the field trip requires students to be at school earlier than the normal school day (6:35am) and picked up later than the usual school day (5:00pm). If you have any questions about any of these trips, please don't hesitate to let me know!

Power up for STAAR!

Upcoming Events/Reminders:
  • The Spring Festival is from 2-6 on Saturday. You may purchase tickets in advance at school. (Purchasing in advance is a little bit of a discount.) If you are new to WBE, this is a fun event for your entire family. If you live close, it's best to walk to school. There will be all sorts of games, food for purchase, and a silent auction.
  • I will be sending home math homework M-Th of this week.  The pages we have assigned are a review of everything your child will be responsible for on STAAR. This is in addition to their normal Tuesday/Thursday reading homework!
  • We will be having motivational week for the upcoming STAAR tests the week of April 15th.  If you would like to donate any trinkets or goodies for that week it would be greatly appreciated.  Contact me if you would like ideas for things to donate.
  • Math STAAR is April 23rd and Reading STAAR is April 24th. 
  • Tuesday is another School Spirit Day. Students are asked to dress as superheros (no masks please).
