4 Days of AWESOME!!!!!!

My goodness, 5B!  I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the past 4 days for our mini spring break!  It was like summer weather, wouldn't you agree??  I hope you spent as much time outside as I did.  Sadly, I think this week won't be as nice....well, at least you won't be too sad being stuck indoors, then, huh??!

Hopefully you got a chance to relax over these 4 days because it will be WORK LIKE CRAZY time when you come back these next 2 weeks.  We have quite a few things to finish up and do.  Here's just an overview of the many events....

Sounds like a lot, huh?!  Yes, well..... it is...  Some weeks are mellow yellow.... some weeks are like popcorn in a popper!!  (These next 2 weeks will be this way...hmmm???...that makes me think that maybe we should have some popcorn, don't you think?) Anyone agree??

Well, I'm going to get back to enjoying the rest of the nice afternoon.  We'll keep the same jobs from last week for this week.  Oh, and I'll know you checked the blog if you come in, grab a post-it note, write your name AND about how much time you think you spent OUTSIDE this weekend.  Put in on the guided reading table.

REMINDER!!!!!!!!   Your Time For Kids Booklets are DUE on TUESDAY!!!!  Bring them in (remember, 7 pages = a completed booklet) and get Warheads and pet frog!!   Check over your handwriting, too, because 2 people are going home some new shades!
