Yealey Families,

It's been a great week a Yealey!  Monday evening we welcomed 39 of our future Kindergarten Bobcats.  It was a very nice evening but we need everyone coming to Kindergarten in the Fall to come in and get registered.  We will probably wind up with 90 - 100 students so there are lots of kids left to register.  If you know anyone on your street, neighborhood, sports team, church, etc. that will start kindergarten, please let them know we are anxious to have them come in and register!

This week I spent time with 4th and 5th graders doing math lessons.  Both grades were asking students to not only solve a problem but to also explain their thinking and create their own questions.  I love seeing their thinking and watching them work together to figure things out.  

Next week is our last week before spring break.  We have several field trips and fun activities planned for next week.  Be sure you are getting your homeroom teacher's Bloomz messages to keep up with all we have going on. 

Have a great weekend,

Mrs. Turner

 Yealey Families,

I think we have fixed the issues with blogger and we should be back on track for the weekly updates!  It's been a lot of fun here today with some little ones hunting leprechauns.  To my knowledge none have been caught even with some very creative engineering of traps.  

We have lots of activities over the next two weeks before spring break.  

• basketball/cheerleading will continue next week but just for two days.  Tuesday is girls and Thursday is boys.  
• Kindergarten registration is Monday - please pass the word to all your friends and neighbors who may have incoming Kindergartners next year. 
• Early Release Day Wednesday 3/22.  Buses will leave here at 12:30.  Parent pick up will be allowed into the lot at 12:20.
• 5th grade has Tremont and Environmental Camp field trips are the week of the 27th.

Be sure you are watching for specific classroom information coming from your homeroom teachers.

The PTA event scheduled for this evening has been cancelled. They announced that cancellation last week.

I hope everyone enjoys the weekend!  See you next week for just 4 1/2 days!

Mrs. Turner

 Yealey Families,

I hope everyone had a great week.  We have been very busy here.  If you have a 5th grader, please ask them how they did at Reality Store today.  Every 5th grader was given a budget and asked to make decisions about homes, cars, groceries, entertainment, etc.  It was a great lesson in making decisions and thinking about want versus need.  If nothing else, they have probably realized how expensive kids are! 😊

Next week there will be no school on Friday for a teacher flexible in service day.  Therefore, there will not be a blog update.  But keep in mind that the following Friday is our PTA Family Uniqueness Night.  I hope that you are all signing up to share your with us what makes your family special and unique.  It is such a fun night of getting to know each other. 

Also, our Healthy Challenge starts Monday.  Try to help your child add vegetables and exercise each day.  Tracking sheets should come home with them.

I hope everyone stays safe and dry today and has a great weekend!

Mrs. Turner
