A Few Friendly Reminders:

Tomorrow we will be walking across the street to perform our concert songs at the church.  Please make sure that your student is wearing appropriate(no sweats) clothes and shoes for this occasion.

Yo-Yo's -  We will be selling yo-yo's all week.  There are three different yo-yo's your student can purchase.
The NED - $8
The Boomerang - $11
The Cosmic Spin 2 - $16
Replacement Strings - $4
Yo-Yo holster - $4

If your child is purchasing a yo-yo and you are unable to locate the order form please make sure you have clearly labeled with the money what s/he is purchasing and I will fill out an order form for them.  We also have some fourth graders that were trained to correctly fit the yo-yo string to your child's height.

Ducks - Thank you to those who have donated to the duck fund, we are still a little bit short.  We will be accepting donations until Friday, as we will hopefully be placing the order on Monday.

The NED Show

Today the kids got to experience an AWESOME assembly.  We got to see the NED show.  The NED Show is an assembly that teaches students (and adults) to think positive in school and in life.  Our presenter's name was Tony and he was fantastic.  He made sound effects with his mouth that I wish I could make and had yo-yo tricks that I did not know were even possible.  He was simply amazing.  I grabbed a short video of his warm up routine.  

He had the kids hooked before he even officially began his assembly.  Ned, Tony's friend, is a cartoon character who's name stands for Never give up, Encourage others, and Do your best.  These are three things I have tried to instill in my students all year.   What a fantastic and fun way to present it.  Tony told us a story about the bad things that happened when he picked up Ned for our assembly today.  Ned ran into aliens, saw a tight rope walker, the Eiffel Tower and even Sponge Bob!  

One of the neatest things about the Ned Show is that they come to our school for FREE!  I was amazed at how awesome this free assembly was!  We are selling yo-yo's throughout next week to support the Ned Show so hopefully they can spread the word to other schools at no cost to the school.  If you would like another order form please let me know!
