DON’T FORGET LEVAGOOD TOMORROW!!

• Bring food and water (don’t bank on concession stand being open until late in the afternoon)
• If you are going to the park, you remain there 10:15am- 2:45pm (parents MUST check in with the office prior to your leaving)
• What to bring (swimming, entertainment, sunscreen, blanket, games, books, cards, etc.) – YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOU BRING – NOT YOUR TEACHERS
• What not to bring (cell phones!!!! and anything you would be sad about if it went missing!)

Books I am still missing (that I know of!):  Dork Diaries #9 & #11 – hard cover, 5 Judy Moody books (numbers unknown), Dear Dumb Diary #2, Scarlett (Cinder #2).  ALL books are labeled with my name either on the edges of the pages or on a sticker that says “This book belongs to Mrs. Dailing. Please return as soon as possible!” located on the front cover. Thank you for those who have helped locate the other lost books!

Today was our End of Year PBIS Celebration where the students were able to view an encore performance of the talent show!  The students in the show worked amazingly hard and should be extremely proud of themselves! Great job!

Today we were given our portfolios to take home and updated our My Learning Plans online with accurate Spring NWEA data and Summer Learning Goals.

WE ARE WATCHING THE GIVER TOMORROW!! If you owe me a permission slip you must have it signed by the beginning of class tomorrow or you will not be able to watch it with us, don’t forget!

NO LATE/MISSING WORK will be accepted past TODAY, Monday, June 11th (with the exception of my Block 1 who did not get the opportunity to turn in late work due to the Talent Show).  Unfortunately, many students chose to play games when they were finished with their goals instead of working on late or missing work when they had plenty of time to get it done. I will NOT make exceptions and they were warned about this in class. 

Some of my books came back today! Thank you for searching for them!!   I am still missing (that I know of!):  Dork Diaries #9 & #11 – hard cover, 5 Judy Moody books (numbers unknown), Dear Dumb Diary #2, Scarlett (Cinder #2).  ALL books are labeled with my name either on the edges of the pages or on a sticker that says “This book belongs to Mrs. Dailing. Please return as soon as possible!” located on the front cover.

Today we took the Chapter 16-23 quiz and finished any work that we still owed Mrs. Dailing. All work turned in on Monday will be subject to a 25% point deduction. NO WORK will be accepted past MONDAY, JUNE 11th.

Have a great weekend!
