Happy Monday Everyone!

I hope all you mothers were treated extra special yesterday and know how much you

are appreciated by your families.

Thank you for all the beautiful flowers today.  Your gardens must be spectacular based

on what was shared with me today.

Friday is Field Day!  If your child bought a field day shirt, please send them in it.  If they

didn't purchase a shirt, please have them wear red if possible.  Please apply sunscreen

to your child before they leave home and make sure they bring a water bottle.

This week we started a new chapter book, Stone Fox.  Our spelling words this week

have the spelling pattern -oo, like in book.  We will continue to improve our writing

in language.  In math we continue to work on measuring with centimeters and

working with fractions.

The only homework this week is to study spelling words and to read for pleasure.                               They do not have to write about what they are reading.

On a personal note, I wanted to let you know that I will not be at school this

Thursday and Friday.  I am very sad that I will miss field day, but it can't be avoided.

My family has recently found out that my mother has stage 4 lung cancer and I have

to take her to an appointment at Sarah Cannon Cancer Center to see if she can get in

a clinical trial.  I wanted you to know this because it would have to be something as

important as this to make me miss spending field day with my class.  Mrs. Burgess will

be my sub on Thursday.  The kids LOVE her!  At this time, I do not know who my

sub will be for Friday.  We are still working on that.  But, I have had some wonderful

mothers volunteer to help with field day.  Everyone is welcome to come and enjoy

the fun and help the kiddos with the games.  It will be a special day!

Have a blessed week!

Mrs. Kane
