Happy Friday!

Happy Friday!

I hope you have all had a wonderful weekend!  I'm crossing my fingers the rain in the forecast for the weekend, holds off a little bit.  :)

I have uploaded the newsletter to the blog, please take the time to read over it.  There is a lot of important information about upcoming events and what we will be working on next week.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who donated items or money to Ms. Rottjakob's tote, as well as for the pizza party.  I put a picture below of the filled tote.  She was very surprised and happy.  We were very lucky to have her with us this semester!  We even made her tear up when we gave her the tote today.  I count that as a success!  She will be joining us next Wednesday on our field trip and possibly for the Variety Show also.

Thank you to everyone who has RSVP'd for our Oreos and Opinions, as well as our Lunch Bunch.  If you haven't RSVP'd and are planning to come, please do so.  This allows me to get an accurate head count for the cafeteria as well as to buy Oreos.  :)

Field Trip Next Wednesday!

• Please make sure your student has a lunch with them on Wednesday.  If your student is purchasing a lunch from the cafeteria, they will go down that morning to get their lunch.  Please pack their lunch in a gallon size Ziploc bag with all disposable containers.  We want to be to throw everything away at Runge when we eat lunch.  Please do not send in any glass containers.  All drinks need to be in cans or plastic bottles (all that can be thrown away).
• We will be outside all day.  Please apply sunscreen and bug spray to your student before they leave the house.  We cannot apply sunscreen or bug spray at school.
• Please make sure your student wears tennis shoes for our field trip.  There will be a lot of walking and sandals will not be comfortable for the day.
• Currently, the forecast is for upper 50's-lower 70's throughout the day.  Please make sure your student is dressed appropriately for the weather.  If they want to bring a light jacket, they may do so, but they are responsible for the jacket throughout the day.
• Please make sure your student is on time on Wednesday.  I would hate for anyone to miss our field trip because they arrived late to school.
• Please remind your student that we will have a lot of fun at our field trip, but our expectations are the same.  They need to be safe, respectful, learners on our field trip.  

I can't believe we only have a few more weeks of school.  Please remind your student that even though the year is coming to a close, we still have to do our job at school.  I know when it is gorgeous outside, we all want to be outside, but it's important to remember to stay focused at school.  :)

Have a wonderful weekend!
