*Congratulations to Davian and Elijah for leveling up this week.  Wow!  I am so proud of how hard these boys are working to show behavioral and academic growth.  Way to go, Davian and Elijah!

*Come to the Brownsburg Orange Leaf any time between 11am to 10pm on Saturday, May 2nd! Orange Leaf will donate 10% of the total sales to support Delaware Trail Elementary. Thank you for your support!

*The last day for our class reading competition is TODAY.  I will pull points reports over that weekend and announce the students that qualify for the pizza party with me next week (although some of them know who they are already!). 

*Our zoo field trip will be on Tuesday, May 19th.  We will leave school at 9:00 a.m. and return by 2:00 p.m.  If your child did not purchase a sack lunch from the cafeteria, he/she will need to bring one from home.  All students will need to wear their dog jog t-shirts.  They are the neon yellow ones with a purple paw print on the front.  I am looking forward to a great trip! 

*Continue to work on addition and subtraction math facts.  Make sure to use those fact triangles that were sent home, or you can practice for free online at www.xtramath.org. 

*If anyone is able to come in next week to volunteer, send me an e-mail and let me know what day and time works best for you!  Thanks! 

*I believe in building relationships with the children both inside my classroom and outside the classroom.  If your child participates in any extracurricular activities (sports, dance, theater, etc.), or has any other events that he/she would like to invite me to, please let me know, and I will do my best to come! 

*The blog will also be updated with this information as well so if you need to see it again visit http://misswhisman.blogspot.com .
