Mrs. Nightengale’s Classes

I can’t believe how fast this school year has passed.  I have enjoyed your wonderful children, and will miss them as they move on to new horizons.  There are a few things to remember in these last few days. 

This Thursday, May 21st, we will have a summer birthday pizza party and practice for the graduation program.  The morning class will attend class with the afternoon class from 12:00 - 3:00.  Please remember to send in $2.00 for the pizza.  We will also be sharing some of our pizza with Mrs. Ward’s 5th grade class.  We thank them for all their help this year in cleaning out the animal cages.

On Friday, May 22, we will have our disaster party.  If you provided an emergency packet, you might want to check itbefore Friday.  Not everyone participated in this, so I will have the children share food.  This will teach them that in times of disaster not everyone is prepared so we must help each other.

On Wednesday, May 27th we will have graduation.  Please have your child here by 8:00AM.  Graduation begins promptly  at 8:30 AM.  We will not be able to wait for anyone who is late because some parents need to return to work.  I have loaned out a number of costumes.  Please bring your child’s uniform to change into after the graduation if you have borrowed a costume so it can be returned that day.  Please remember to bring water or cookies or napkins for the graduation.  Thanks for all you do and have done.  May you and your families always be blessed.

Please come to the meeting on Thursday, April 2nd to learn about our new builings and school philosophy for next year.  I believe you will really like the new additions to the school.

Field trip permission slips are due this Thursday, March 5th.  It is very important to have them in on Thursday because I will have a school check made out to Botanical Gardens on this day.  Thank you.

Our kindergarten classes have a small garden already prepared for planting.  By Friday, we need you to bring in some small watering cans, and other small garden tools.  Please put your name on all items.  Thanks so much for your help.

We also need donations for food and crickets for our animals.  We will be getting another bearded dragon from Jace in our afternoon class.  I will make a can so you can donate if you can.  It would be helpful if everyone could donate a couple of dollars to the fund.  Thanks

Mr. Styles came and gave a great presentation on creating a science fair project for the school on Monday.  The morning class recieved hand outs created by Mr. Styles.  Please review this with your student.  I highly encourage you to do a science fair project with your child.  The science fair will be April 30th.  This Friday, he will share his presentation with the afternoon class.  Handouts will be sent home with the PM students at this time.

Remember, Thursday is our field trip.  Please be here by 8:00.  Bring a paper sack lunch that can be thrown away when we are finished eating.

I want to thank the AM parents for dressing your children in costumes for the Colonial on Tuesday to show students how create easy costumes for the ball.  I hope all of you will be able to attend this fun event.  We are in need of homemade or good store bought bread and jam for the event.

Also, please remember to bring in donations for our servcemen who have lost limbs in combat.  Their families are suffering and are in need of help.  Thank you for all that you do.

Remember to have a PAPER SACK lunch prepared for your child and a water bottle for Thursday, February 26th.  Please be on time - 8:00 AM so your child will not miss the field trip.  We’ll be to school at about 1:30.  Call me at 480-980-2896 or the office at 480-988-3212 the day of the field trip to know the exact time for the bus arriving at school.  Thank you for getting the field trip permission slips back to me on time.  Friday,  I will be sending out permission slips for our next field trip to the Botanical Gardens.

On Friday, November 14th we will have a festival specifically designed to help our individual classes make money so that we can purchase items we need for our classes.  I have a number of things I would like to purchase for our kindergarten to use.

We will make money two ways.  We will have Baldy’s Store, and we will auction off baskets.  We need stuffed animals, games, books, puzzles and baby furniture for the store.  All items can be used or new.  For the auction we need any slightly used or new ANYTHING!  We will create baskets using items that are donated.  If we need anything to add to a basket, we will let you know.  Any service you can donate, or item from your employment will be welcomed.  Examples: Decorate a cake for a special ocassion.  Give a lesson on how to make some wonderful dish or ethic food like tortillas. Teach how to do something on the computer.  Give a yard service.  Alter school uniforms etc. 

Please begin to bring in items right away.  I would like to have the baskets completed a week before the festival if at all possible.

Thank you so much for your help!
