Tuesday of last week, my class "EGGED" Principal Schultz!!!!! Let me further explain... Look closely, you'll see Principal Schultz is holding a sign that is taped to a giant, hot pink Easter egg. The sign says "You've Been Egged" and inside the egg contains letters to her from my students. The letters used "egg-cellent" words to express how "egg-straordinary" we think she is! ;) Thanks to a great blog I follow, Lesson Plan SOS, that gave me this "egg-stra" special writing idea and made my class "egg-cited" about writing her letters! We hope she enjoyed it as much as we did!!!
Open House: Please mark your calendars for our Spring Open House on Thurs. 4/12 from 6:30-8:00. Come visit your child's classrooms, visit 4th and 5th grade classrooms, shop at the book fair, and stay for ice cream! Our theme is Chicago, so your child (and family members!) can wear their favorite Chicago sports team apparel. Hope to see you there!
