Keenoy Pup’s News                                              4-27-18 Dear Families,      What a fun week in our classroom!   Again, thank you to so many of you who donated “snack goodies” for our movie/picnic celebration.   We also spent some time today in the media center participating in a makerspace “bug” challenge.   I really enjoy standing back and watching them interact kindly with each other.   They are very helpful and seem to genuinely like being around one another.   Have a wonderful week!

Keenoy Pup’s News                                              4-20-18 Dear Families, I hope that everyone had a terrific and healthy week.   Your child may have already shared, but I think that our dog Susie just won the Most Destructive Dog Award this week.   Susie just turned a year old so you would think that she would start growing out of her destructive ways!   Jessi and I decided to give her an opportunity to roam the house unsupervised for an hour or so.   Really Bad Idea!   She ripped up an entire section of carpeting in our living room.   I’ll include a picture in this week’s blog.   Luckily, we had already ordered new flooring the week prior to her living room adventure.   This newsletter will be kept mostly informa...

Keenoy Pup’s News                                              4-13-18 Dear Families, The weeks are flying by right now, and I am staying extremely busy at home and school.   I’m looking forward to the warmer weather, but was not super excited about cutting the grass for the first time on Thursday.   Please let me know if you have any questions about the busy last two months ahead.   Have a terrific weekend.

Keenoy Pup’s News                                              4-6-18 Dear Families, I can’t believe that we are dealing with snow events during the first weeks of April!   The 5 th grade year is coming to an end soon.   April and May are jam packed with events.

Dear Families,         Since this will be the last newsletter before spring break, I hope my students have an enjoyable week off.   Our family looks forward to a relaxing week together.   My wife could save up her vacation time and will have the entire week off with us.       Next week is Spirit Week at Paxton Keeley, with a focus on respect. Each day, our school will be having a celebration. The schedule is in the Friday Folder. Each classroom will also work on a door decoration for a schoolwide contest. Pup of the Week-Hattie H.
