Lengthened School Day
Thursday, April 21st begins our lengthened school days due to the two extra snow days. For all-day students, this means that the school day will begin at the normal time of 9:00, and end 1/2 hour later, at 3:35. If your child is picked up in the car line, the students will be brought out at 3:35. If your child rides a bus, please add 30 minutes to the bus drop-off time. Also, please give us several minutes either way until the bus routes and times are confirmed. This means you may want to be at the bus stop 5-10 minutes early until you know for sure what time the bus will arrive.
This extended day will be in effect from tomorrow, April 21, through May 23 for Nicklin (longer for students of Springcreek). After May 23, we will return to our normal schedule.
We appreciate your cooperation.

Catching Up
OK, it's been a while since I've updated you on our work, mostly because we have so much going on! Most of the students' reading abilities are really taking off. They love reading classroom books to me! Every student has a basket here at school filled with books at their reading level. We also received several "paper" readers each week, which focus on popcorn words and word families. As the students read these to me successfully, I will be marking them with a pink star, and sending them home. Please allow your child to read these books to you and record them on their Family Reading Log! This is great practice for them to continue over the summer and be ready for 1st grade.
One of my hobbies is playing with the orchestra for local high school and community musicals. This spring I had the awesome opportunity to play "in the pit" for Fairlawn High School's production of "The Phantom of the Opera." On opening day, I didn't want to rush around after school changing my clothes and getting something to eat, so I just wore my all-black outfit to school. Of course, the students were very curious as to why I had only black on, so we talked about playing a musical instrument, and I showed them the difference between a violin and a viola (which is what I play). Then I showed them this picture of me with the Conductor and the three lead actors in "Phantom" - Phantom, Raoul, and Christine. They loved it!
