Field Day t-shirt order forms are due this Thursday, May 25th.

All Little Caesars Pizza Kit Fundraiser forms and payment are due TOMORROW.  Remember, this helps fund our fourth graders for 5th grade camp next year.

Field trip permission slips and money ($5.00) are due by June 7th.  I have to make the payment to the Detroit Zoo on June 8th.  Any students who have not paid by June 7th will not be able to attend the field trip.  If you are a parent chaperone, it is imperative that you make sure your background check is up to date.  Background checks are good for three years.  Please check with the office to see if you need to get another background check on file.  Remember that it takes up to 10 business days to be approved.  If you wait too long, you may not be approved in time for the June 14th trip.

The Unit 8 Math Study Guide was completed in class together on Friday.  The Unit 8 Math Test will be tomorrow (Tuesday).

Weekly Reading Logs will no longer be coming home.  Your child is still expected to read as much as possible at home for the rest of the school year and especially during the summer months.  Children who do not read at home often show a decrease in their reading levels.  We want our children to continue to grow as readers and leaders!

PBIS Party 2:30-3:00 p.m. Thursday, May 25th:

Students with 4 or less card flips for combined months of April and May are invited to attend a Movie and Popsicle Event next Thursday, May 25th at 2:30 p.m. in the gym.   Students who are not eligible will stay in the classroom to fill out a Think-Sheet.

Congratulations to those who have maintained great behavior and excellent decision-making choices! 🙂

Congratulations to our class for bringing in the most Box Tops for the Box Tops Contest!  Every student in the class received 10 tickets today to be used at Friday’s Snow Carnival.  Great job and thanks to everyone who donated Box Tops!!!

Sunny and warm weather is here! As part of Snow Elementary Leader In Me Program, we are asking you, our fabulous students, to reach out in our community to help others.  If you’d like to be a part of the May Plant-Up Club, simply volunteer to help plant-up a neighbor’s, relative’s or your very own yard.  “Plant-up” could include helping plant flowers, vegetables, or preparing garden beds for future flowers and veggies.  Please be sure to have a parent with you and get permission of the community member before planting up.  You are giving back to the community, so please offer to do this free of cost.

Each time you help “plant-up” someone’s yard, write the date and color a square on the chart given to you by your classroom teacher. Once you have helped 5 times in the community, please return this chart to Ms. Krawczyk, Mrs. Bush or Mrs. Grizzell for acknowledgement of your leadership and kindness.

A special thank you to all students who have helped so far: Aasim M., Farah F., Zoe D., Hasan, Kayla J., Ahmad J., Molly S., Ryan R. and Ahmad A.

Spelling Words (compound words):  paperweight, grandparent, waterproof, undertake, yourself

Academic:  organism, ecosystem, community, population, habitat

Thank you to the Asher family for donating cookies for Cookie Day on the ABC Countdown.
