**HELP NEEDED RECORDING THE PLAY!!!**

So, I really want to record the play for the students to watch on the last day of school.  I was wondering if anyone has a video camera that can be set up on a tripod to record the play on Wednesday??  Our school camera isn’t available that day.  I would also need it put on a DVD to show the class and to put onto the blog.  Please contact me if you could assist our class.  Thanks so much for all your help and support!! 🙂

Week of May 15th-19th

Well, it’s officially nearing the end of the year.  There are 10 days of school left and we aren’t doing homework anymore.  We are all ready for a break!!!  Please make sure you are still reading 20 minutes EVERY night for the rest of the year.  This is a super important habit that your children need to continue through the entire summer so they do not regress.

There are some super important dates to mention. Mark your calendars! Here is the schedule for the rest of the year:
-Monday, May 15th-Math SAGE Test #1 @ 8:35

**Tuesday, May 16th- SUMMER BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION**  Everyone with a summer birthday will have a chance to be celebrated!!!

-Wednesday, May 17th-Math SAGE Test #2 @8:35

-Thursday, May 18th- Paint Backdrops for play (Help needed!!)  Also, if anyone has or knows of any big pieces of cardboard, we would love to take it off your hands.  Refrigerator boxes work really well!

-Monday, May 22nd-Dress Rehearsal @1:30 in Q1 gym **ALL costumes here at school by this day!**

-Wednesday, May 24th @2:00 in Q1 gym-Play Performance

-Thursday, May 25th- Field Day and Talent Show (Please sign up if interested in sharing talents on this day.)

-Friday, May 26th- LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!  I really want ALL students here at school on this day.  There are lots of fun things we will do, and I want a chance to say goodbye to everyone before summer break!

**Things needed for the Play**

Well, the play is getting really close and the kids are super excited!!! We are preparing for the Dress Rehearsal on next Monday, May 22nd at 1:30. We will be gathering different props throughout the next week. If you happen to have any of these items, we would love to borrow them until the day of the play (May 24th).

-play food/tea set for the tea party

Also, we will be painting the backdrops for the play next week. I am planning to paint the backdrop for the play on Thursday, May 18th in the morning right when school starts. We would love any help painting here at school if possible. Please post on the blog or contact me on Bloomz if you can help us. Thanks a TON!
