I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer! Those of you who are in summer school, good luck to you on the CRCT retake. I know you can do it! I hope everyone has something special planned, even if it is just laying around the house relaxing. I just returned from California, where I attempted to surf...good, embarrassing fun. Please feel free to email me at my school email and let me know how you are!
Our class would like to thank our RISE students for helping us out all semester. They have been an invaluable part of our class. We wish you luck in college next year, Heather and Kelly. We hope y0u enjoy the books we made for you and your mugs!
Thanks for a great trip, students and chaperones! I will post pictures soon. If you have photos please email me at ebcmacy@comcast.net so I can add them to my collection.
We are almost finished with CRCT Testing! Hooray! Here are some other upcoming events:

2. Awards Day will be on May 21. This will be for the nine weeks and the entire year.
3. Rock Eagle is May 6-7! It's almost here! Those not attending will stay with the other teachers and have a regular day.
4. We will have an end of the year party at Mrs. Hass's house on Saturday, May 17 at 3:00. Please see the handout.
The CRCT will begin on April 23 and finish on April 28. The reading test is the first day, so be ready!

We finally had our day of guests in our cottage. Twenty adults in the building were persuaded to come visit us! The students were very polite, excellent hosts. We served green punch and St. Patrick's Day cookies, along with rainbow skittles, gold coins, and bubbles. We just finished our thank you cards as follow up to our invitations. We received many positive comments from our visitors.
Report cards are coming out Thursday, March 20. Look for them!
