Thank you to all that braved our field trip on Friday to Greenfield Village. The day started off a little wet, but cleared up around lunch and ended up to be a nice afternoon.
The end of the year is fast approaching! Important dates to note are:
Friday, June 8th - T-shirts for tie dying are due in a ziplock bag with your childs name on it. There will be a collection bin in the classroom. Info on what types of t-shirts are best for tie dying are on the flyer.
Thursday, June 14th - Our end of year party. Please have you child bring their bathing suit and towel on this day. The festivities will begin at 10:20 and wrap up at 2:30.
ATTENTION ALL 3/4GRADERS!!
It’s Time to TIE DYE at our End of the Year Party!
Please bring a T-Shirt or item to tie dye in a large Ziploc bag. Write your name and your teacher’s name on the bag and bring to school by Monday, June 8. You can use any clean, white, 100% cotton item that you already have. Items that already have screen printing on them are okay.
If purchasing a T-Shirt to tie dye, please consider the following:
• When buying packaged undershirts, purchase adult sizes small or medium. Youth-sized undershirts are not true to size and will shrink to be too small/short. After washing, adult small undershirts will fit most 8-10 year old children.
• Hanes brand 100% cotton tie dyes the best.
• T-Shirts that are pre-washed will hold the dye better.
Please hand in your T-Shirt or tie dye item to your classroom teacher by Monday, June 8!
Questions? Please email Julie Karmanos at juliekarmanos@gmail.com
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.
