Dear Families, We will be very busy this week with our SAT Testing. Yippee!!!! The children always think it is easier than what I give them. They are so excited to just “bubble” and not have to do “real” work. Yes, it is all about perspective!!! This is never stressful for them and they always do a great job. I’m sure this year will be no different. 
STANFORD ACHIEVEMENT TESTING – We will work in the morning and do theme work in the afternoon. Please be sure your child is well rested and has a nutritious breakfast. We will begin promptly at 8:00, so it is very important to be on time during this week. We will do worship in the afternoon along with our theme work. Thanks!!! THERE WILL NO PARENT HELPERS THIS WEEK.
BOOK ORDER – The April book order was in the envelope last Monday. Remember, when you go online you can order from any of the book clubs that you want. Many are ordering from the older clubs now, as that is where their interests and reading level are. I will finalize the order on Monday, March 31st. The books will arrive before we go for Easter Vacation. There will just be one more order in May!! 
FIELD TRIP – We will be singing at the Stephen Care Homes for Easter on Tuesday, April 8th, from 9:30 AM – 1:00 PM. We are in need of HELP with transportation. Please, if you are able to sign up to drive, that would be soooo appreciated. Sadly, if we don’t get enough drivers we will have to cancel. We will have a picnic at a nearby park after we sing.
SOCIAL SCIENCE – We will be studying the Marketplace. This chapter has some great concepts about resources and money. We will also discuss what God says about our needs and our wants.
BIBLE – We will continue with our Easter unit.
SPEECHES AND HERITAGE DOLL – We have so enjoyed the speeches thus far. Just a reminder that the children may dress in costume if they wish and bring a food that represents their country. These suggestions are optional and not a requirement. Please remember to write the final draft of the speech on the paper that I sent home. If you need more, just let me know. Speeches begin at 1:45 PM.
Monday – Andres, Caleb, Miracle
Tuesday – Adrianne, Colby, Justus
Wednesday – Troy, William, McKenzie
Thursday – Michael, Paige
EASTER CELEBRATION – We will have a celebration on Friday, April 11th at 1:20 PM. The sign-up is outside our door for the items needed at our party. In addition, each child will bring 12 filled plastic, easter eggs. They can be filled with candy, stickers, erasers or whatever else you choose. Anything goes!!!! These will be hidden outside for an egg hunt at our party!!
OPEN HOUSE – The Fine Arts Festival is coming up in May. Our final book project will be a diorama to display at Open House on May 6th. It will not be due until the morning of Open House. The rubric for this assignment came home in the Homework Folder on March 14th. This is a very fun project. Use your creativity!!!!! We will also do an Oral Presentation on our project .
SHOW AND TELL – This week will be Team A.
TALENT SHOW – We would love to have many of Tally’s Treasures share at the yearly Talent Show on April 25th. Please be on the lookout for the form to fill out if you are interested. This is always a fun evening to showcase the talents God has given our students.
END OF YEAR CONVOCATION– As the year draws to a close we would like to gather as a family to celebrate all that God has done for us. Thursday, May 1st is the National Day of Prayer and our School Community Council believes that would be the perfect day to come together as an entire school. All of you (parents, grandparents, family, and friends) are invited to join the teachers, students, administration, and staff as we gather together for this ending convocation held in the Peoples’ Church sanctuary. It is a time of celebration, worship, and prayer as we end our year with thanksgiving and praise.The service begins at 8:00 am and will end by 8:30. All students K-12 are to report directly to the sanctuary by 7:55 AM. Every class will be designated with a sign and balloons, making it easy to locate your child’s class.It is exactly the same as our opening convocation seating arrangement. You are welcome to sit with your student in their designated area or if you have more than one student attending Fresno Christian, choose where you would like to sit.I look forward to seeing all of you at this closing event as we end our year acknowledging God’s hand upon us through prayer, worship, and heartfelt celebration.
Spirit Day is every Friday. Please wear one of your favorite FCS shirts!
