Happy Mother's Day to each and every one of you. Whether you are a dog mom, a new mom or a mom attending college graduation, you all deserve a day of relaxation and pampering. You are not only loved by your own children but also be each of your students. You are all incredible humans 💖

Congratulations to this year's Teacher Who Makes a Difference, Poppi Canepa! As you all know, Poppi will do anything for her students and truly cares about each of them. She creates a family in her classroom and integrates GLAD strategies throughout her teaching. Poppi has also taught the 4/5 combo for two years in a row and has handled it with grace. Even with two grade levels in her classroom, she finds time to work in small groups with her students in order to provide the added support they may need. A huge congrats to Poppi!

Volunteer Appreciation Tea: The Volunteer Appreciation Tea is Monday June 5th at 1:30. Please add your classroom volunteers to this list: Volunteer List

PBIS: We are thinking on our feet in the lunchroom to finish the year out strong and sane! Instead of class dojo, we are handing out green PACK passes that are just for the lunchroom. When students get one of these passes they put it in a grade level bucket for a drawing before their lunch is over. The "prizes" are those highly desired snacks! Talk about instant gratification and a much quieter and cleaner lunch room.  

EL Update: Thank you all so much for the time you took to complete the RFEP and EL monitoring forms. One copy will be placed in the student's cum folder and one will go home. I will put the copies to send home in your boxes. Please send them home on Friday, May 19. Since some families have multiple children, I would love for all forms to go home on the same day.  Thank you!

TOSA Tidbits: GIFT OF TIME! See the link below to sign up for an additional 40 minute prep on us! You can leave us plans or we can plan the time for you. Gift of Time!

Did you know... When Ally Simmons was 15 years old her summer looked like this: She worked at a donut shop from 6am-10am and then went and worked at a pizza/pasta restaurant from 5pm-11pm....she took naps sometimes during the day to make it work.
