Heading Down the Homestretch of the 2010-2011 School Year
Sorry for not emailing after Monday last week.  It has been crazy busy both professionally and at home therefore it was challenging to get the word out on the streets.  

The biggest news from last week, we had the family life discussions on Friday afternoon.  We separated the boys into one room and the girls into another room.    Mr. Haar and myself taught the boys the curriculum.  This year’s class was extremely respectful and they asked really great appropriate questions.  We did have a run on questions regarding babies born as Siamese twins and/or triplets.  We finally had to say, “no more Siamese twins (aka conjoined twins) questions, ask at home or do some independent research.”    Provided you feel inspired to do so, now would be a great time to discuss with your child about what they took out of the presentation and whatever questions or “theories” they may have about their changing bodies, etc.  

I did want to give you a heads up regarding this week’s events:

Monday
  1. We will be cleaning up district assessments, showing off the last of our Federal Express day projects and cleaning up.
  2. Yearbooks will be distributed today.  Students were told last week to return library books or pay for them.  People still owing library books will be able to pick up their yearbook once they resolve their library book challenges.  
Day ends at 2:05 p.m.

Tuesday
  1. 8:30-10:15 Promotion Practice
  2. 10:30-1:10   Year End Auction and Pizza Luncheon
Day ends at 2:05 p.m.

Wednesday

Friday
These 3 could be having a ceremony of their own this week.
  • 10:30-11:45’ish   5th Grade Promotion
  • Students may begin their summer vacations at the completion of the promotion festivities.  
Day ends at the end of promotion ceremony  *please note the super extremely unique Friday end time.  

39 weeks?  It is outrageous how quickly things have gone this year.   I promise to send out a note every afternoon/evening this week so you can have an insight into your child’s final week of elementary school.

Kind regards,

Mr. Hubbard
