May 13-17, 2019

Our field trip to the Thinkery was a success!  The kiddos had so much fun. It was awesome to get to see all of the creative ideas they came up with while there. Thank you again to all of our parent volunteers! You rock!

Reader bags will no longer be coming home. I will have to inventory all of the levelled books that were sent home. In order to do this, I will not be able to send any more out. Homework for the remainder of the year will be reading on Raz-Kids and Dreambox.

End of the Year Awards & Talent Show-

We will have our end of the year Awards and a talent show at our end of the year party on May 23 from 8:00-8:45. If there is a conflict with a sibling’s party, please let me know, and I’m sure we can work something out.

Please talk with your child about what talent they want to perform.  This could be a dance, sing a song, tell a few appropriate jokes, or a magic trick. This will need to be practiced at home as we are still finishing up our last academic units.
