Week of April 17, 2016
I hope everyone was able to enjoy the beautiful weather this week end!
It;s looking like a warm week so please dress accordingly! It may be chilly in the morning but warm by noon! With the warmer weather upon us, we will be going outside ! Please make sure your child’s feet are protected!
They need shoes for running and climbing!
We have a very busy week coming up!
Lots of FUN activities going on in our amazing school!
Tomorrow, Monday April 18 is our class trip to see the play based on the book, “Are You My Mother”, by PD Eastman. I read the story to the class on Friday and they are very excited about seeing a live show! I sent a copy of directions to the theater home in your child’s folder this week! The show begins at 9:30am but you should
arrive by 9am so you can park, walk to theater and be seated!
Please also factor in travel time and traffic!

Friday, April 22 is Earth Day!
This week our lessons will be on how we can help in small ways to protect our planet.
On Friday, we will also be going to the library for the Scholastic Book Fair! I had the opportunity to pop in on Friday after school and there are lots of good books for all ages! If you would like your child to purchase books, please send in a check or cash
IN AN ENVELOPE WITH YOUR CHILD”S NAME ON IT!!!! Feel free to write a note letting us know the amount your child can spend so that we can help them make their choices! You are also welcome to join us if you would like to shop with your child! Our scheduled time is 9:10-9:40am!!!
