Last post of the year!

Last minute details!

Please make sure you turn in all of your items to the Media Center on or BEFORE Wednesday, May 22nd!
.  
I have three stations set up for the laptops, and iPads:  

1. For those teaching Summer school, or working over the summer
2. For those who want to come back and pick up their iPad and/or laptop, June 18th.  (Please remember you cannot leave it in your classroom over the summer.)
3. For those who want to leave them here until August.

No matter what your category, your laptop and iPad must be turned in on Wednesday.

If you are moving your classroom, I need ALL of the items on your list.  We are keeping them all separate in the Media Center, so you will get your own things back.  

I went around to all of the classrooms over the weekend and did an inventory on all the items I could find.  I will contact you personally if I couldn't find something.

Please look through all of your books, if it has a bar code on it, it needs to come back to the library.  We have quite a few library books still out.

Lastly, I want to thank you for a great year!  I always enjoy working with all of you!  For those who are leaving I wish you all the best of everything, and I will miss you!  For everyone else, I will see you in August!

Have a great summer!

Coming down to the Wire!

The Chicks are finally here!! 

We have 5 chicks in the brooder box.  There are still 2 in the incubator trying to come out.  They will be here all week so all classes will get a chance to see them!  If anyone asks, I think the reason they were so late was because the incubator was too cool.  I'm afraid that my thermometer didn't show the correct temperature.  Better luck next year!

This is the last full week that the children will come to library.  The last books have been checked out, and we will be looking forward to seeing them all returned!  All student books are due no later than May 14th.  Overdue notices will come out this week.  I will also be sending home a note about Library at the end of the year.  We will hand it out during library time.  
Next week (May 13-17) we will have an abbreviated schedule.  This means that PreK will not come to the library and Kindergarten will come for less time and at different times.  I will be meeting with Tricia to finalize a schedule that I think will work.  As soon as the schedule is finalized, we will send it to you via email.

For our Kindergarten friends, we will have the Second Step assessment this week.  I will also read Library Lion and if we have time, we'll do a paper about our favorite Media Center activities.

For our PreK friends, I will be reading Dora's Chicks, or an Eric Carle book about bugs.  I have The Very Clumsy Click Beetle, The  Very Lonely Firefly, and The Very Quiet Cricket. These all have a special surprise at the end of the book!  I will have them on hand, so just tell me which one you would like when you come!

Have a great teacher appreciation week!  I appreciate all of you!
