week of 4-4-11

Dear Parents,
Last Friday, Mrs. Marshall and I played a practical joke on the students as an April fool’s joke. The students went back in history and worked by lantern light. We told the students that the lights went out. They experienced how difficult it must have been to work by candle light. After I finished reading a book about April Fool’s Day, Mrs. Marshall turned on the lights. APRIL FOOL’S! The students were in shock. The students were trying to think of a good April Fool’s jokes they could play on their parents. I stressed to them that any April Fool’s joke must be safe.
Last week, the students made watermelons and enjoyed whales.
Thank you to Sierra’s Family for bringing in baby wipes and items for our Easter party. Thank you to all the families who have brought in box tops. There is another contest for the months of March and April.
