A slip is being sent home today asking for permission for your child to be able to watch PG movies.  Although the note talks about Acknowledgements, the main purpose of the note is for your child to watch a movie about the Dust Bowl.  We are beginning a unit on Historical Fiction.  Students will be able to pick an era to study with a book club in class, but as a whole class we will be studying the Dust Bowl. We are going to use the movie to build background information for the unit.  If you are interested in looking up the movie it is called "The Dust Bowl" by Ken Burns.  We will begin watching the movie on Tuesday, so permission slips must be turned in by this day for your child to begin watching the movie.


Next week the school will be celebrating Dr. Seuss's birthday with dress-up days connected to his books.  A note was sent home regarding the theme for each day.

Information went home today regarding the Milwaukee Brewers Baseball on Wednesday, April 18. Please check the packet for deadlines, especially for those who wish to chaperone.  If you are thinking about chaperoning please do your Volunteer Background Check ASAP so it is back before we pick chaperones.  The office can help you with the address for the Volunteer Background check - everything is done online but it can take 2 - 3 weeks before you get an email indicating you have passed the background check.  We need this email or your volunteer card for you to join us.


Next week is Screen Free Week.  Information regarding this went home a few weeks ago.  Please consider attending one or all the events planned.  The week ends with the Annual School Dance, which is free to everyone.

With Baseball Spring Training starting in a week, the Fourth Grade Team has begun to plan our field trip to a Milwaukee Brewers game.  If you are interested in chaperoning for the game, you must have a cleared Background Check done before you will even be entered in the drawing for chaperones.  You can contact the office or your child can get a business card from the office with the web address for the Background Check - everything is done online.  You must do a new Background Check this year, even if you have done them in the past.  It will take at least 2 - 3 weeks to get back a confirmation email that your background check has cleared and another 2 - 3 weeks to get your Volunteer Card in the mail. This Background Check will be good for three years.
