Upcoming Events Next Week:
Wednesday, May 20th - Field Day
Please send your child to school with their yellow St. John's eagle t-shirt, or another St. John's shirt, comfortable pants or shorts, and tennis shoes. Students may bring a water bottle marked clearly with their name. I have sunscreen for them, but a hat might be helpful to shield from the sun.
Thursday, May 21st - Packing Up Supplies
Please send your child with their bookbag and a couple of extra grocery bags in case their supplies fill up their bookbag!
Friday, May 22nd - Last Day of School/ Dismissal at 11:00
Kids will not need their bookbags. They will be bringing home their pizza box. Please note the change in dismissal time - we will not be serving lunch.
Field Day - Wednesday, May 20th
We are searching for some parents that might be able to help out with all or part of Field Day this year. Teachers will be running games and we are needing parents who can take groups of students from game to game. Please let me know on Monday if you can help us!
Library Books
All library books must be returned to school before your student can receive their report card. Please check with your child to be sure that this has been taken care of. Thanks!
Religion
There will be no memory work assignments for next week.
Reading/Spelling
There will not be a formal reading story or spelling test next week. We will try to have a Spelling Bee for each grade consisting of all spelling words from the year on Thursday morning. You can help your child prepare by studying spelling words from all blog posts this year. Spelling City would be a great resource as well!
Next Week's Book Nook Topic:
Magic Tree House, continued...
Thanks for all that you do! Have a nice weekend and week ahead!

May 8th News and Notes
Happy Mother's Day!
We hope that all of our classroom mothers and grandmothers have a great day on Sunday!
Field Trip Wrap-Up
We had a great time in St. Louis on Thursday! A big thanks to the parents that were able to go along and chaperone, and to all parents for getting the kids to school on time to leave at 7:30 and for making sure they had their lunches and spending money! We had beautiful weather and safe travels, and the kids enjoyed themselves and learned something, too, which was the whole purpose!

Scholastic Book Order for May
Included in the Friday folder is a book order for the month of May. This will be the last book order for this school year, and a great way to stock up on some summer reading material! If you would like to order, please send a check with completed order form in an envelope marked "Scholastic Book Order" by next Wednesday, May 13th. Online ordering is also available by clicking on the link above. I will definitely need to send the order on the 13th to be sure we receive books by the last day of school! Thanks!

Important Dates Next Week
Monday - Wednesday - Testing Week - Iowa Test of Basic Skills
Please make sure that your child gets plenty of rest and has a good breakfast before coming to school each day! Please encourage focus and perseverance! Students are to bring a water bottle each day clearly marked with their name for our testing snack time.
Thursday - First and Second Grade Field Trip to The Fox Theatre/The Buterfly House
The kids are so ready for their Field Trip to The Fox Theatre and The Butterfly House on Thursday! A few things to remember for that day:
* We will be meeting that morning by the Jesus picture at the gym and our goal is to leave the building at 7:30am. Please be sure to have your child there on time so that we can keep on schedule.
*Please have your child wear the yellow St. John's eagle logo t-shirt that we sold this school year. This will be a nice, bright color to keep us all identifiable! If your child does not have this shirt, please have them wear another yellow shirt or another bright color.
* Please send your child with a cold lunch that we will eat at Faust Park before visiting The Butterfly House. If your child ordered a school lunch, we will pick them up from the kitchen that morning. Chaperones - please bring coolers so that lunches can be stored in a cold place until lunch time.
* First grade students need to bring along their car seat.
* Please remind your student to use respectfulness and good manners while out in the public representing St. John's Lutheran School.
* Many children will be riding with their own parents. Chaperones of children who are not will be in contact with the parents of those students riding with them regarding exact return time to St. John's.
*Please be sure to send along a water bottle in addition to your child's cold lunch and drink on Tuesday's field trip. Hopefully God will bless us with a nice warm day and kids will get thirsty after playing in the park!
* Children whose parents are not travelling with us may wish to bring along a small amount of spending money, as The Butterfly House has a gift shop. Otherwise, all other admission fees for the day have been covered through the school and our Field Trip Fund.
