-Remember that we are making the transition from mygradebook.com to renweb. I was told today that we are expecting to be on the new system the week we return from Spring Break. Until that time, there will be an on-line "blackout"....meaning you will be unable to view grades on-line. I will be diligent in getting papers graded and returned in your packets to you each week in a timely manner, as well as e-mailing you if I see any significant problems regarding your children's assignments.

-Next week we will be engaging in some extra projects for Easter. In addition to making "Boo-Boo Bunnies" for our KinderBuddies, we will be making "Faberge" inspired eggs. Please send $5 with your child to help with the purchase of needed supplies. Thanks!

-On Friday, we will be doing our class Easter party. I plan to use the Pavilion behind the soccer fields. Miss Beth will be contacting you for picnic items. Thank you, in advance, for your help!

Please monitor your child's signed papers over the next couple of weeks extra carefully, as you will not be able to view grades online. 
Signed papers were not sent home this week, but will go home next Tuesday. 

Extra Credit Opportunity:
We are studying the layers of the atmosphere. For a bonus 10 points on your science test, create a unique model of the layers of the atmosphere.

Kennedy Tour 2012 Recap: eleven Fantastic Ants, one bus driver with angel wings, eight hotel rooms, one UTI, six hundred miles, one ride in an ambulance to the emergency room, three bazillion exclamations of "dude, that's so cool," one more astronaut autograph in my collection, twenty-four annual passes that took an hour to obtain, one plugged bus toilet, two rubber gloves, one box of Dramamine, fifteen pressed pennies for the penguins, one pack of freeze-dried ice cream, three pairs of KSC pajama boxer shorts, one pound of pistachios, zero Dippin' Dots for the queen, one ant heading to Disney World, three spilled drinks (that I know of), one grumpy waitress, eight math tests administered, one gravity-defying gift for me, three ants jumping on the bed, six lost teeth, and one EXHAUSTED but LOVE-FILLED teacher.

KSC Final Notes

• Tomorrow is the day! Be here between 5:00 and 5:15 a.m. tomorrow morning to load the bus in the Building A parking lot. Do not be late, as the bus leaves on time....with or without you!
• See the previous post for the packing list.
• I will have snacks to give the children on the bus. Adults will need to bring any snacks and drinks they will want. I will have a cooler for the adults to put beverages in, just be sure to mark your name in case someone has the same thing you have!
• Arrive tomorrow morning wearing your KSC shirt!  
• Children have been warned that they are to be with their adult AT ALL TIMES on this trip. Whether going to the bathroom, getting a drink, or shopping in the gift shop. This is a safety issue and there are NO EXCEPTIONS.
• I will have a variety of PG rated movies on board for the bus ride. Sorry, but no PG-13 movies are a choice for us. (Movies will not begin until breakfast is served.)
• All of the children's meals are covered. Adults, please plan to bring money for two lunches and two suppers. Breakfast on both days is covered for everyone.
• I will be "passing the hat" on the bus for a tip for Mr. Braswell. He donated his entire salary to be taken off of our bus balance. Please prayerfully consider offering a tip when the hat is passed. 
• Get a good night's sleep. I will see you at 5:00 a.m!
