Thank you!

Thank you so much for all the hugs, cards, flowers, and special treats that were sent in last week for teacher appreciation week.  I am so lucky to have such a caring group of students and supportive families.  I appreciate your thoughtfulness so much!


Track Meet

The John Hall Elementary Track meet will now be held next Friday, May 13th, at St. Joseph High School at 11:30.  The meet will last until 2:00. All third, fourth, and fifth grade students will participate in four events.  Third graders do a standing long jump, a 60 M dash, a running long jump, and a 100 M dash.  In addition, each class from all three schools will compete in a 400 M relay race.  Mr. Pfahler has selected four boys and four girls who will represent our classroom by running in this event.  We’d love to have you join us at the track meet if you are able!


In addition, if you are planning to join us at the track meet, is there someone who would be willing to bring a cooler with little water bottles for our class to drink after our events?  It looks like it will be a warmer day, and I’m not sure if drinking fountains will be working.  If you are able, please send me an email.  We would also love a box of popsicles for when we return. Thank you so much!! 



Multiplication

We have started our multiplication challenge...ice cream!  Please check in with your child and continue reviewing their multiplication facts, especially 6, 7, 8, and 9s. 


Testing Continues this Week!

We are going to adjust our testing schedule this week.  We will begin our last standardized test, the M-Step math test, on Monday and Tuesday.  Please be sure your child’s computer is fully charged the night before.  In addition, please ensure they get plenty of rest and a good breakfast the morning of the test.  Students have as much time as they need to take this test.  Anyone that still needs to complete their test will finish on Thursday. Here are the dates for the remainder of our testing sessions.  Please try to avoid absences or appointments on these days:
