#15

Finally the end of the week is here! This week was a long one, jam packed with activities both before school and after school, and it's not looking to slow down any time soon.  There are only three weeks of school left! Yikes!

Today was the last spelling test.  Everyone was very thankful to be finished.  We had a good time at the MLC play this afternoon.  It was Peter Pan without any singing.  An excellent production, although I liked last year's play better.  We got our Mystery Class answers back today too.  Since the play was in the afternoon, I didn't have class with the 7/8th graders, so I'll show them on Monday.  We didn't find all of them.  Well, we found them, but our answers were incorrect.  We found 7 out of 10.  Classes who've found 8+ are featured on the website, so we were close!  Maybe next year.

After school today we moved the book fair over to church.  It'll be open afterwards during the Men's/Women's Clubs' pork chop dinner.  Hopefully we get lots of sales!  I think we've made about $500 or so.  I haven't counted up the "All for Books" money we raised via bottle flipping/pjs/lunch switching, but that money will also go towards our goal of $800 (we get to spend that money on books for our classroom).

Now that the book fair is over, hopefully I'll have more time to focus on getting major projects wrapped up: Mystery Class packets/graphs, pinatas, NaNos (we need to publish them soon so the books get here before the end of school!), Malaysia pen pal letters... I think that's everything.  Oh, I need to make sure Miss W has all the assignments she needs from my kiddos.  The next big thing is our Variety Night, May 11th.  Lots of things to do for that!  Next week's after school schedule is filled with practices.  Plus we have a faculty meeting and a PTL meeting to look forward to as well.  Another packed week!

Monday's balloon prize: chew gum in class (they were excited about that one!)
