Hello!

The charger for our classroom’s iPad Mini has gone missing.  It has actually been missing for several weeks now.  If you have noticed an extra charger around your house that could possibly belong to our classroom, will you please send it back to school with your child?  Also, a student left a small flashlight at school last week.  It was sitting on my rainbow table during parent teacher conferences.  Today when I wanted to return it to the student, it was gone.  It is small, metal, blue, and is a flashlight and laser pointer.  The student would really like to have it back.  If you notice your child with something matching this description, please have them return it to me.

Today some of the students found a key in the classroom.  If your child is missing a key, please contact me and I will be sure to get it back to you.

Also, your children have run out of pencils!  We do not keep a supply of pencils in our classroom.  Each student brought pencils at the beginning of the year and was responsible for keeping their own.  I have supplied some pencils, but it would be great if you could get some pencils for your child if you have a chance.

Thanks for your help with these things!

I wanted to take a minute to thank you and your children for all of the sweet Valentines and gifts Ms. Stephanie and I received last week.  We really appreciate all of the kind gestures and thoughts that we received.

I also wanted to thank those of you who came to Parent Teacher Conferences last week.  It was such a wonderful experience!  I can truly say that I LOVE being able to take the time to reflect on each one of my students and how they are doing and what they might need.  I LOVE being able talk with you and your children together so that we can work as a team to make sure they are having the best possible educational experience.  I love your children and I want to see them succeed and reach their full potential.  And I want them to be happy : )  Thank you for sharing them with me.

If you were unable to come to conferences and you would still like to meet with me, please let me know!

Just a reminder that the science fair for 4th and 5th grade students is tomorrow and the science fair for 6th graders is on Thursday.  Students should be here to set up their boards by 8:15 AM.  All students should have a display board and a lab notebook.  Sixth grade students also need a research paper complete with a bibliography.  On Wednesday, the science fair will be open for public viewing from 2-4 PM.  All projects will need to go home so that they can set up for the Jr. High science fair.  On Thursday, the Jr. High science fair will be open for public viewing from 4-6 PM.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

For last minute help with the science fair and putting together a display board and research paper, please go to www.sciencebuddies.org.  There is a tab at the top that says “Project Guide” and it will give you instructions on how to put together your project.

Good Luck!  I can’t wait to see all of the projects!
