What a gorgeous day! Praising God for keeping us safe during the storms last night. Praying for those affected by the storms. Members of our church, in Ann Arbor, were affected by the storm. They are safe and minimal damage was done to their house. Many in the Dexter area were not so fortunate. Taking solace in the knowledge that our God is a sovereign God and in control of ALL things!
We finished the Iowa Tests today - a cheer can be heard around the world! Students were troopers and finished well - thank you for all your hard work and effort! Because of their hard work and effort, the students have little work to complete over the weekend. No Sign of the Beaver due next week :) Here is what is coming up:

Mackinaw Information Letter - 3/14/12
An informational note about Mackinaw went home with you student today. If you did not receive it here is a copy of it:
Dear Parents,
Our trip to Mackinaw is scheduled for May 30, 31, and June 1. Right now I need two pieces of information from you to make final plans for our trip:
1. Whether or not your child will or will not be going with us on our trip. Please fill out the form at the bottom or e-mail me. Final cost of the trip has not yet been finalized. My guess would be between $40-$50 per student plus the cost of two meals while traveling and spending money. Please do not let the cost stand in the way. Let me know if this is a concern.
a. drive on the trip
b. oversee/in charge of assigned students in your hotel room and on our expeditions. (may be the same group as in your room)
c. supporting the teacher by following and abiding by all trip guidelines
If you are interested in being a chaperone please let me know in writing or by e-mail (rlvanderlaan@yahoo.com) by Friday, March 16. This year if more volunteer than we will need chaperones will be chosen by lottery. I will let you know by Monday, March 19 if you were chosen. In past years adults have been able to join the Mackinaw trip as participants; paying for their trip. This option will not be available this year.
I am so excited about this trip. I know the students look forward to the experience and the fun we will have. Remember that this trip is for the students and I am trying to make it a memorable and great experience for them.
In Christ,
Mrs. Rachel Arnold
(student name)

What a successful Science Fair!! I was so good to see so many people at the Science Fair last night. I loved watching the students "show off" their projects and explain what they had been working on for the past few months! Thank you for your help and support during this time. We couldn't do it without you! Yesterday was a busy day, with a lot going on - as usual. Today we are having our Class Store this afternoon. Students can use the classroom money they have been "earning" to purchase items and coupons for different "privileges" i.e.: stay in from recess one time, not having to do one Math Review lesson, a snack for the whole class, etc. Everyone is very excited about all the possibilities! :)
Here is the latest newsletter. Don't forget that it is Iowa testing next week and no spelling test next week!
