Great Week!

This group is resding about horses.

We had a great, normal week finally!!!  We started our non-fiction book clubs and are learning lots of things from them already!  Here's a peek at the clubs working hard reading and discussing their topics:

This group's topic is deer.

This group is reading about dolphins.

These students are learning about seals.

Bees is the topic this group is reading and learning more about.

I can't wait to hear all the learning that these groups will be sharing about their different topics.  If you ever are in the classroom, be sure to stop just outside the door to read our COOL, GROSS, and WOW board.  It's filling up with all kinds of things we have been finding and learning in our books.  Our class topic is severe weather so we will be learning lots about this topci too!!

Mileage Club has started up once again and are we ever excited about it!!!  Some of us have already earned some big tokens.  Analiese earned a 20 toe for running 20 miles and Nathan earned a Runner Dude for running 16 miles.  I have a feeling that someone is going to earn a marathan shirt, don't you???  Mrs. Kelley is still need of volunteers if you are able to help out.  Please contact her directly if you are able to do that.  If you would like to help her and would like to make a day of it I would love your help the rest of the day:) 

We celebrated a couple of Birthdays this month.  Regan and Michael both turned 7 this month.  Neither one of them believed that they were older than me.  I guess I can always try again next month.

Special Person's Day is this Friday.  Please be sure to turn in your form if you haven't done so.  I am all set on cookies.  Thanks so much for your willingness to donate them!!  Remember to make sure that your special person doesn't arrive before 1:30.  The door will be closed and they will be asked to wait in the hallway prior to this time.  It makes it hard for us to do things inside the classroom otherwise.  Thanks for your understanding.

Surprise Mail:  Remember to start asking friends and family to write a note to your child to open on surprise day.  Our Surprise Day celebration is May 25th.  You can have them mailed to the school with attention to Mrs. Gilde and your child's name on it as well.  The address is:  107 E. Maple Street, McBain, MI 49657.  This is a really fun day and students are really surprised when they open their mail.  Last year I even had a little girl cry because she felt so lucky to get mail from her grandpa.
