Welcome back to another fun week! These next few weeks will fly by, so I am going to savor each and every moment. It will be hard to say good-bye to this class at the end of the year. We sure have had a great year together!

The Kaukauna Public Library came on Friday to share the Summer Reading Program with us.  The registrations and information will go home on tomorrow.  The reading program is a great way to keep reading throughout the summer.

Thank you to the PSC for the Superhero Obstacle Course for our KAT celebration.  The students were able to participate in this fun event on Friday afternoon and they absolutely loved it! 

We took our reading MAP test this morning and the kids did outstanding! I can't believe how much they have grown this school year! Not only is it evident through their test scores, but more importantly, through their daily work. Thanks for all your help with nightly reading at home! MAP scores will come home with report cards later this year.

A few reminders for this next week:

Timber Rattler ticket orders are due this Friday. If you participated in the Fang Reading Program in March and April and turned in all four bases, the order form went home a couple weeks ago. 

Our next family night is scheduled for Monday, May 22.  Please RSVP by tomorrow so we can get snacks and set up for the Book Swap. 

City Hall field trip slips went home on Friday.  There is no cost for this field trip.  We will be walking to City Hall on May 31st.  Please return signed slips by May 23rd.

There will be one last chance to order books from Scholastic for summer reading. The forms will go home tomorrow and will be due next Tuesday. That will give plenty of time to get the books by the end of the year.

All library books are due this Friday. We will not have any more checkouts this week.

If you have any box tops, please send them in by Friday, June 2nd. We appreciate you sending them in!

-I spent some time organizing our classroom library over the weekend and have noticed that many of the books are missing. When you get a chance, could you please go through your child's room, bookshelf, under bed, etc. to see if you have any of school's books at home? I know how easy it is to leave some at home over the school year, so I appreciate you looking and sending back any that may be at home. Also, if you are going through books and have any you'd like to donate to school, please feel free to send them in with your child. Thank you!
