Beginning of the End...

I cannot believe how time has flown!  It seems like we were at the semester break just a few days ago, but it is now almost May.  Time to begin thinking about the end of the school year.  Here are just a few announcements and reminders to get started.

• There will be a Buy One, Get One book fair in the LMC the week of May 14.  Notices will be sent home next week.  The LMC doesn't make any money off this fair, but it is a small way to thank those who have supported us during the year.
• Fifth graders have started their final research projects for LMC.  They will be in the notetaking phase soon...and that means they might have some homework from me!
• Fourth graders will be starting their final work with a Wisconsin-centered trivia search in the reference section.  They will have to sharpen their dictionary and encyclopedia skills to do well with this.
• All LMC materials are due back by May 15.  After that, students can take discarded books home to read.

That's enough to get started.  Hope the end of the year goes smoothly.
