News from Miller's Mon-STARS

Celebration
Tomorrow, Friday, May 10, we will have another classroom celebration for earning 300 Safe, Responsible, and Respectful sticks.  Each student may bring one toy to school tomorrow.  If the toy is an action figure or a stuffed animal, the student may bring two.  We will have a short amount of time tomorrow to play.

Conference Forms
If you have not turned in your conference form, please do so as soon as possible.

STAAR Testing
Next week, we will be taking the Math STAAR on Monday and the Reading STAAR on Tuesday.  Fifth grade will be testing on Wednesday, so our campus will be closed Monday-Wednesday.  The campus may also be closed on Thursday due to make up tests being given.  Please do not come to campus on those days.  If you need to bring something for you child, leave it in the office and the office staff will get it to our classroom.

Please make sure your student has a good night's sleep before each testing day.  Make sure they have a nutritious breakfast the morning of the test.  Breakfast is free to all students on campus the days of the tests.  Please make sure your student stays calm and remind them that this is their opportunity to show what they know.

Field Day
On Friday, May 17, we will have Field Day.  If you have volunteered to help, THANK YOU!!!  If you would like to come and participate with our class, you are welcome.  

Please make sure your child has a water bottle that day.  It can get hot, and we do not want children getting sick because of the heat.  Students may wear their swimsuits to school that morning or bring them to school with them.  I will make sure we have time to go to the restroom to change.  Please send sunscreen.  The students will have to apply it, or they can help each other apply it.  I will not apply sunscreen on students.  Students may bring a towel to dry off with, but there will be no time to change our clothes after field day.  Students will go home wet.  If they are in the YMCA, they will be able to change after they get to the cafeteria.  If they go to a daycare, they can change at the daycare.  Walkers, car riders, and students who ride the bus will go home wet.

Cultural Project
I hope everyone is having a good time researching a country.  Country questions are due tomorrow.  I will look at them to make sure they are completed, but I will give them back to students so they can use them to create their poster.  Posters and food samples are due in the classroom the morning of May 21.  I hope you will be able to attend!!

Yearbooks
Yearbooks were distributed today.  Please keep them at home until the last day of school.  We will have a yearbook signing party on the last day.  If your student did not purchase a yearbook, I will have a small book for them to get signatures from their friends.  Everyone will be able to participate.  There will be no signatures on bodies or clothing of any kind.

If you ordered a yearbook and your child did not receive it, please contact PTA.
