Notes of importance:
1. MP4 tests will be given this week. Monday-language arts Tuesday-math Wednesday-science Thursday-social studies Thank you for seeing to it that your child is rested, has eaten and arrives at school on time. This will help him/her to do his/her best.
2. The Indian in the Cupboard movie will be shown Friday at 1pm.
3. The first grade picnic will be held 11:30-12:30, Tuesday, June 9. It will take place in front of the school in the picnic table area. If you have not returned the picnic fee to Mrs. Lee, please do so as soon as possible.
4. The final day of school for students is Friday, June 12. Students will receive their report cards and will be dismissed at 11 am.
5. Each child will need to bring a shoe box (any size) to class by Friday, June 5. This is needed for a special project we will be doing the final week of school.
6. Next week, June 8-11, will be BEACH DAYS in our classroom. The children may bring a beach towel, sunglasses, hat or visor (no bathing suits) to help us celebrate our theme. As we use our imaginations to transform our classroom into a sunny beach, we will do our work on beach towels rather than the desks.
