Spelling Words
Our spelling words for next week are:
mud, jam, sent, herd, summer, river, number, always, also, woodpecker




Headphones
     You do not need to purchase new headphones for next year.  Your child's headphones will be passed along to the second grade teachers.  They will be sorted & placed in the correct classroom in late August once class lists are done.
      


     Our chicks are due to hatch on Tuesday.  Our technology department is setting up a camera on Mrs. Hull’s and Miss Tracy’s incubators.  I will send you the link as soon as I receive it so you can watch them at home.





Teacher Appreciation Week
     Thank you for all the food and beverages that were sent in this week – it was wonderful!   It was so nice not to have to pack a lunch. 
     Thank you also for the treats during the week – flowers, cards, candy, etc.  They really made me feel special!

 Have a Happy Mother’s Day!
