Cardinal Chatter

Happy Wednesday! Blessings as we celebrate His life this long weekend. We take this time to reflect upon our sinful nature and what Christ has done for us with His Love. Things are starting to look eggciting in the classroom. Monday we set many chicken, duck and quail eggs in incubators. Book reports went home last week. Book approval is Thursday, and they are due on May 7th. Make sure to look at midterm reports to NOT have any unwanted grades this early in the last quarter of school year. Midterms are due Tuesday after student conversation. Effort is the best tool to use every day of the week! May 2nd is the track meet. May 9th is the Stillwater AR field trip! Slips go home when kids make 4th quarter goals. Blessings as we rest and prepare for the week ahead – When we are weak the Lord is our STRENGTH!

FRIDAY LETTER SPECIAL NOTE:

As we start off the new calendar year please remember keys to success for a positive school year
Help the kids to be in the full swing of school, as we prepare to be fifth graders! This is especially true for work to be turned in a timely manner. It can be tough to get back into routine after a break. The third late assignment each week, a detention is given according to school policy. Some get VERY close weekly. Planners & Fast Direct are the best tools to help.

A great way to do this is to ask the kids what questions they asked in school that day.:

- Taking work home to have other eyes look at simple mistakes
- Taking graded work home
- Using planners & Fast Direct
- Taking Friday Letters and school Chatters home for information
- Paying attention and focusing in class
- Studying at home for tests
- Turing work in on time
- Reading for AR at home uninterrupted

Here is the 04 25 2025 Friday Letter.
