Just a quick reminder that our play dates are the following: Monday, May 16 at 8:30 is our dress rehearsal Please send your child to school in their costume but send their uniform in their backpack to change into. Students who do not have a uniform to change into must call home to get one.

Thursday, May 19 at 5:00 Please have students at the school and in their costumes between 4:30-4:45. All performances are in the Q1 gym. Please invite grandparents and other extended family to see your little stars shine! I’m super excited to show you how hard they’ve been working.
I just had an awesome parent email me and tell me that Peery’s Egyptian Theater (2415 Washington Blvd. in Ogden) is showing the play Wizard of Oz tomorrow night at 7 PM. The tickets are only $5! I know it’s short notice but if you can take your kids to see it, that would be very helpful in doing our play next week.
In addition to the Prodigy that I assigned this week, will you please have your students get out their multiplication cards and practice multiplication? In class today, I realized that we need a lot of practice on those facts to be ready for 4th grade. Thanks so much for your help in this!
Parents, I went down to the POQA closet to get my backdrops from last year’s play out and they have been thrown away. SO….I need your help to make new ones. I was already planning on having the kids make one new part of the backdrop but had not planned on doing all of them. I NEED parents to come in this Friday morning from 8:30-11:30 and help us paint backdrops. Also, would any parents be willing to call Lowe’s or Home Depot and see if they will donate some refrigerator boxes for us and pick them up? Is anyone artistic enough that they could draw us a castle on one part?
We will be doing some practice and assessments on third grade sight words this week so there will be NO WORD SORTS. Please remember to read for 20 minutes each night! Turn in reading minutes by clicking on the link below: http://qacblogs.org/nichol.lloyd/homework/reading/ OR Sort-and-Reading-Log

Friday May 13th will be the last day for Boxtops and Soup Labels for this year.

Due to Sage Testing, we had to reschedule our final library day for next week. Next week’s library will be on WEDNESDAY NOT THURSDAY next week. Please send all library books to school on Wednesday so that Mrs. Anderson can start her inventory. Thanks!
I can’t believe that we are now into May! It’s crazy how this year has gone by so fast. Please remember to that we are still working hard in class and are working on SAGE testing. We have quite a few students who are not finished with their Sage writing due to students being late and absences. Please have your students here and on time if at all possible. Here are some important dates to mark on your calendar and announcements:

READ at least 5 times a week for 20 minutes! It is imperative that your child is participating in reading practice at home. Studies have shown that the more words a child read, the better their achievement is in all other areas. We will be starting book talks where the students talk about what they read the night before. Not only are they given homework points for reading, but they will be given participation points for discussing what they’ve read the night before. Thanks!
