Move Up Day was VERY successful! Our current 3rd graders took on a leadership role in the class and made our new students feel welcome!! I was so proud of them!
Remember to bring TWO plastic bags tomorrow for Cubby and Locker Clean Out!
This week we have many fun things coming up!!!
IF YOU PRE-ORDERED A YEARBOOK, YOUR CHILD HAS RECEIVED IT.
Important dates to note are:
Wednesday-June 13th is our annual Wacky Recess where as a class we will travel around to various stations including dunk tank, tye dye and many more. A hotdog lunch will be provided for your child, however if your child would like to bring a lunch, that is fine too. You will want to send your child with a bathing suit under his/her clothes in the morning or send in an extra set of clothes. Everyone will get wet!!
Thursday we have our end of the year party. Everyone will also need a bathing suit/towel for our party on the 14th!!! This will be hosted by our fabulous Room Mothers, and from the sounds of it will be the best party yet!
Friday is our alst day of school and dismissal will be at 11:20am.
Just to let you know: Our classroom air conditioning gets very cold in the spring/summer months. Please have your child bring a sweater or sweat shirt to keep in his/her locker for the remainder of the year.

PLEASE SEND YOUR CHILD WITH A WATER BOTTLE!!! This helps a lot, so he/she does not have to leave
the room when thirsty! Your child is also welcome to keep healthy snacks in our classroom to eat any
time!
