Thank you all so much for making Teacher Appreciation Week so special!!!  I enjoyed the flowers, gifts, goodies, and classroom supplies!!!   The notes, letters and cards were so touching and kind!!!  It is truly my great privilege to teach at Big Shanty, and to be a part of your child's life this school year!!!  THANK YOU for all you do to support and encourage the success of our students!!! 

 

SAVE THE DATE!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Our class will be participating in Author's Night on Tuesday, March 31st.  We will present our award winning production of "Cowboys of the Chisholm Trail".  I will send more detailed information home next week (3/5).  Please mark you calenders and plan to attend!!!!  It will be great fun for the whole family. 

 

The Georgia Writing Assessment will be administered to all 5th graders this Tuesday, March 4th.  We will begin promptly at 8:00, so please be on time!!  We have been working very hard preparing for this important assessment.  You can help by getting your child to bed early on Tuesday night and preparing a nutritious breakfast Wednesday morning.  Our school cafeteria is a great option for breakfast as well.  The test is a bit long and rigorous, so a good night's sleep and a healthy start to the day are essential! Thanks so much for your help with this!!!! 

 

Congratulations to all of our students who participated in the school writing fair!!!  We had several students in our class who received Honorable Mention.  There work will be published in the school anthology, which will be available for purchase later in the year.  We also have several students who have contributed drawings and illustrations that will be featured as well!!!  Super Stars--They are!!!!!!!!! 

 

I am also please to announce that our very own Andrew has been invited to attend the State Reflections reception in March.  His musical composition was a winner at the state level!!!  Way to go Andrew!!!!

WE ARE GOING TO HUNTSVILLE!!!!!
