Attitude is everything. It can make you a failure or a success. The only people in this world who never fail, are those who never try.

Last Week for Classroom Visits
The week of May 12th - 16th will be the final week for classroom visits. This is an extremely busy time of the year for everyone. However, I am planning to stop by each 5th grade classroom to say goodbye to the students. I have thoroughly enjoyed serving as their counselor over the years. They are a great bunch of kids and they will certainly be missed at Bullard as they head to middle school in the fall. Listed below are a few reminders to ensure a smooth transition to middle school:
* Remember to practice opening and closing a combination
lock during the summer.
* Be sure to get your child's immunization records updated!
* Remember to read at least two books during the summer.
The reading list will be included with the
final report card.

This week in second grade . . .
During the week of May 5th - 9th, I will visit the second grade classes. The first part of the lesson will be spent reviewing some of the guidance skills we have learned this year. During the last half of the lesson, I will share a special story with the students about the last few days of school called No More Pencils, No More Books, No More Teacher's Dirty Looks. It's a great story and one I'm sure the children will enjoy.
Attention 5th Grade Parents
Important information regarding McClure Parent Night will be sent home this week. Please mark your calendars for April 29th and make plans to be in attendance.
This week at a glance . . .
On Monday, April 21st and Tuesday, April 22nd, I will visit the second grade classes. The students will review friendship skills. Our lesson will be centered around a story called Enemy Pie. It's a favorite among primary children! The remainder of the week will be spent assisting with CRCT testing; which will extend into the following week.
Just a friendly reminder
If you have not returned your child's registration form for middle school next year, please send it in as soon as possible.
Please remember to contact your child's doctor to get his/her immunization records updated for middle school.
If you have not already done so, please send in your child's permission slip for the McClure Middle School campus tour.
This week in 5th Grade . . .
