Just a reminder that our 4th and 5th graders will be going on a field trip this Friday, April 29th, to the dinosaur park.  There seems to be some confusion about transportation for that day.  Students should be dropped off at school at normal time and picked up from school at normal time.  Parent drivers will transport students from school to the dinosaur park.  Students should dress appropriately for the weather as we will be spending lots of time outside.  Sunscreen will be a good idea if it is sunny.  Make sure they have a lunch and water bottle.  The dinosaur park said that we can bring as many parents as we want, so please let me know if you would like to come along.  We’d love to have you!  Just be aware that you will need to pay $3 admission.  It should be a fun day!

Tomorrow our class will be doing our SAGE writing test.  Please make sure your students have a restful evening and get a good night’s sleep.  Have them eat a healthy breakfast and bring a nutritious lunch.  Healthy snacks and water bottles are also helpful.  We have spent the last two days reviewing and preparing and it has been rough for some of the students.  Tell them to relax and have a positive attitude.  They can do this!

Also, the 4th and 5th graders will be going on a field trip to the Dinosaur Park on Friday, April 29th while the 6h graders are in California.  If you are a certified driver and can help transport students and chaperone that day, please let me know ASAP.  My e-mail address is kgonzales@mariamontessoriacademy.org.  Permission slips were sent home today, so ask your students for them.

One final note, please remind your students that there are still 5 weeks of school left!  We still have learning to do.  Some students have given up already and shifted to summer vacation mode.  Believe me, I understand!  I just want us to finish the year strong and not just coast along until school gets out.

Thanks for all you do!
