We will be going on a field trip tomorrow. We are going to see a Scheer's Lumberjack Show and then having a picnic lunch at Shue's Pond if the weather cooperates. If your child has signed up to receive a sack lunch from the the school they are all set. If you child did not sign up to receive a sack lunch from the school, THEY are responsible for bringing a cold lunch in a disposable paper bag.   We WILL NOT be here for school lunch, so please be sure your child has something to eat! Also, there are few students who have yet to turn in their money for the trip. We sent a letter home last week sometime allowing for plenty of time to turn in the $4.50 needed to attend the show. If a student does not have this money by tomorrow morning, they are not allowed to come with us. Please make sure your child has turned in his or her money to me. Thank you! :)

Here are a few pictures from yesterday's events! The children had so much fun and in case you hadn't heard....WE WON TUG-O-WAR! :) 

Tomorrow is the Hayward Intermediate School Field Day! We are going to have so much fun!! :) The day will begin with the morning events starting at 9:00am and finishing up at 11:00am. We will break for lunch from 11:00-12:35 then begin the afternoon events from 12:45-2:45. This will bring us up to the end of school. Please have your students bring the following: 1. water bottle 2. cold lunch if they are not having the picnic lunch provided by the school 3. gym shoes/tennis shoes 4. blanket 5. sunscreen 6. a book 7. sunglasses I will have snacks, drinks and music for our little cheering section. Please also remind your students that this is going to be a really fun day, but we need to remember to have good sportsmanship. :) Parents are more then welcome to come and watch! See you there. GO GOLDEN BANANAS!

Today we did a little relaxation and meditation in room 406! :) The kiddos really enjoyed it.

I will be out of school on May 1st and May 2nd as I will be attending a Math Conference in Green Lake, Wisconsin those two days. There will be a substitute in my room who will also go on the field trip with my students on Friday. If you could please remind your students the importance of being on their best behavior while I am gone, I would really appreciate it. This will be the first time that I have been gone for an extended amount of time! As you can tell, I am a little nervous about it. :)

This Friday, May 2nd, 2014 the fourth grade will have their very first field trip! How exciting?! We will be going to the school forest as well as planting trees. There is a lot of fun to be had this day, so please make sure that you child is here. Please remember to send your child with a jacket, rain/mud boots, and/or a hat of some sort. There is a chance it will be muddy. The students should also come in jeans or sweats...please NO SHORTS. They should bring a water bottle as well to stay hydrated. Lunch will be provided by Johnson Timber, unless you would like your child to have a school lunch, then we can make arrangements for that as well. Please just let me know. Thanks!

This is just a quick reminder that starting today, April 28th, 2014, the Hayward Community School District will be extending their school days by 5 minutes for every building. That means that the HIS will be dismissing at 3:15 from today until the end of the school year. We will also be starting out school day at 8:00am.
