Week of June 3rd

It was terrific to see everyone at our team picnic Wednesday night. I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone for the beautiful herb garden and the Barnes and Noble gift card.  What a special gift.  Your children also wrote me poems and special notes that were lamented into cards I can save forever.  They were lovely.  I special thank-you to Anna Palmer for organizing the gift!

Alicia shared her Discovery table on ballet this past Monday.  She had some great illustrations and explanations about ballet and spoke about her experience being a ballerina.

Today we had some visitors from Voyager come and share books that they wrote, illustrated and then bound together.   The class really enjoyed listening to these 4th and 5th graders reading their stories and then explaining the process of making them. 

Please make sure your child wears his/her T-shirt to school on 
Tuesday, June 11th for the K-2 Field Day.  The week of June 10th 
will be Spirit Week for us.  Monday will be "Wacky Hair Day", Tuesday will be "Be a Reader Beach Day", Wednesday will be "Board Game Day" and Thursday will be "Backwards Day".  Friday, June 14th is the last day of school.  It is a half day with an 11:30 dismissal time.

Please check this week's Friday Folder for a summer reading list and reading log from Barnes and Noble.  Once they read 8 books and record them in the log, they can return it to Barnes and Noble for a free book from the list.  The class was very excited about this.

Have a wonderful weekend,
Nancy
