Hello April showers! I sure hope this means that the plants around my house will have a good chance of surviving! It's a family joke that I have a "black thumb" as my plants always meet an untimely demise!

We have started the I'm A Gift From God program in class yesterday. A letter, along with a parent lesson package was sent home. If you have not received it, please ask your child! I will ensure that it gets sent home. I will write on the blog what parent lesson needs to be done at home as we go on. Today we just started writing about gifts that God has given us. 

We have a socials test on FRIDAY (I moved it from Thursday so that we just keep with our routine of Friday tests). They need to know the provinces and the capitals. 

May book orders are due on Friday (April orders have already been shipped and should arrive before Friday).

Homework:
1. Sp Unit 27 (WTW #2-4, WP # 1-3, CH # 1, 2, 5

It's almost SHOWTIME! The students looked great in their costumes today. Langis photography was here today to take class photos. They will be on sale on Thursday, with proceeds going to the guardian angel fund. Most of the students left their costumes in the classroom, but I did send home the sheet costumes. To help us prepare quickly, can you please send some pins with their sheets. It would be much appreciated if they can just slip them on. Undershirts, tank tops or plain white tshirts can be worn under if your child is not comfortable with just the toga.

Thursday is show day with a matinee at 1pm and an evening performance at 7pm.
SEE YOU THERE!

1. Rel- Stations test on THUR
