It was a fantastic Friday in room 204! We began the day with a discussion in Language Arts about the story "Skylark" and learned about prepositional phrases in our study of grammar. In the afternoon, we enjoyed comparing the movie Skylar to the novel.
On May 7th, we are taking a quick trip in the morning to the Detroit Symphony Orchestra! It is going to be a lot of fun! Your kids will need to bring a lunch that day as we will miss our lunch hour and they will not be able to buy lunch. The permission slip went home in your child’s mail box last week and they are due by Thursday the 30th!
Special Note:
Please consider donating individually wrapped snack items/100% juice boxes to the first annual Summer Lunch Box Food Drive, sponsored by Community Ed in buildings throughout the district between now and May 15. Containers to receive your donations are located in the BCS main hall between the 200 and 300 halls, near where the popcorn pops!
The linked flyer indicates the desired items and lists the recipients. The idea is to provide healthy snacks during summer day camp for at risk students in nearby communities.
