This is our last week with Coach Justin. Our last Wednesday envelope will also go home this week. If you did not return it last week, please send it on Tuesday so that we can pack it for the final time. Please review the papers, and then keep the envelope-- no need to send it back again. However, please DO send in a paper grocery bag with your child's name on it as soon as possible. I am going to be taking all the art and projects off the walls and would like them to be safely transported home. Thank you!
YSI Presentation
On Tuesday, we will have a special presentation by YSI (Youth Science Institute) called "Life in the Pond." A docent from YSI will come with some pond animals and do a talk on pond life.
Sharing
This is our final week of sharing. I have really enjoyed watching your children present the various topics in front of the class. For our last week, we will return to "toy in a bag." Please have your children hide the toy in a bag or their backpack, write three clues about it, and be prepared to read those clues to the class. Children who normally share on Monday can share any other day of the week this upcoming week.
Roundup
This Friday the 31st, all four K teachers will be out of the classroom (but on campus) to work with our incoming kindergartners at our Kindergarten Roundup (remember that?)
Week of 6/3
Class Party
We have our class party coming up Monday the 3rd. This is a water play day (sprinklers and water table). Please send your children with a towel, a swimsuit under their clothes (or boys just wear their swimsuits as shorts) water shoes or flip flops or old shoes you don't mind having them get wet. We don't like them to go barefoot on the blacktop, so we need them to be wearing shoes that will work with the water. Please coat them in sunscreen before their arrival. Children who are going to daycare after class should have a change of clothes and shoes. Thank you to Erika, Claire, and Ruby for coordinating this party. Pizza & treats will be served, so no need to pack a big lunch if your child is going to daycare.
Olympic Day
Wednesday the 5th, we have a school-wide Olympic Day. It starts at 10:00. This is another day with a lot of outdoor time, so hats and sunscreen are highly recommended. I could still use 1-2 parents to walk around with us and help keep everyone together & organized. Please email me if you can help with this.
Promotion Ceremony
Our last big event (parental attendance strongly encouraged) together is on Thursday the 6th at 1:15 for our Promotion Day celebration. This should wrap up before class is out (my guess is approximately an hour or so), and then the kids can stay and sign yearbooks, etc. If you want them to leave early that day, please sign them out in the office. Please plan on joining us as we have a small presentation and a video look back on our wonderful year together!
Last Day
Looking forward to lots of fun & memories in these final weeks!
