Our class has been doing great at helping our school with their volunteer hours. We have a mandatory 2 hours per year, per child. I you haven't had a chance to get your hours in remember: Playground clean-up is the last chance to get in their hours or to help out our school one last time this year if you already got your hours in!!!
Helmets
The weather is starting to get warmer, and we are able to spend more days outside. We will be once again putting the bikes out on any nice days, so if your child wants to ride a bike, have them bring their helmets to school. Our policy is if they do not bring a helmet from home, they can not ride the bikes.
Elevator
The elevator is only for families with strollers, or people who need physical assistance. At no time should a child be in the elevator by themselves. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.
Seussical Jr.
Thank you all for being understanding about the available seating for the Seussical play and for some of you moving to another time slot. This is going to be a wonderful show! Don't forget to stop by the office and pay for your tickets if you haven't already done so.
This week in the Star Class
This week we are going to be finishing up our Butterflies, then moving on to the zoo. We are going to be doing fun zoo projects, as well as getting our assessing done for our end of the year progress reports.
Word Wall
We finished our alphabet last week...so this week we get to start all over and have some fun. Instead of only having one letter, we will have multiple letters. Your child can bring in items that start with any of these letters, and we will try to figure out by listening to the sound which letter it starts with. This week we will be doing the letters : G, H, I, J, K, L and M. They can put their item in our pelican that is by the word wall.
