Last week of school!

The saying that time flies when you're having fun couldn't be more true.  I can't believe that we are within days of the end of the 2012-2013 school year and that I am sending all of my kiddos on to 5th grade.  It has truly been a pleasure to be your child's teacher and I wish you and your family the very best!

A few reminders for the end of the year:

• End of Year Awards Ceremony is Thursday at 9 am in the cafeteria.  I hope to see you there to help celebrate all their achievements!
• End of Year Party/Breakfast will be at 8:30 on Friday.  Please check in at the front office and then come to the portable to celebrate with us.  If you have not signed up to bring something for the party but would like to, please use the following link.  http://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0A4CA4AF22AB9-endofyear

Alamo Field Trip This Week!

Upcoming Events:

• Book Fair is this week with Family Night on Tuesday. We will have a time for children to make their wish lists.

Alamo Field Trip Reminders:
The Alamo Field Trip is on FRIDAY! Remember that all students need to be dropped off at school at 6:35AM and picked up at 5:00PM!  The bus is pulling out of the school parking lot at 7:00. We need students here on time so that we can be sure we are prepared to leave. If your child is not at school on time, other arrangements have been made for them to attend class.

• A few reminders:
• All students need to bring a sack lunch! Please do NOT send canned or bottled soft drinks. It is a good idea to bring a disposable plastic water bottle. 
• Camera are allowed, WITHOUT FLASH.
• Children do NOT need to bring money, because we will not have time to stop in the museum or Alamo gift shop.
• Electronic devices are NOT allowed, for example: iPad, iPod, MP3, cell phones, DS
• If you have any questions, please let me know!
