Critter Cam: I’ve recently found this interesting cam that I’ve been showing the children here in the classroom. Thought you might like to look at it at home too. It’s on 24/7. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/new/thecritterwindow-com


Teacher’s In-service: Friday, May 7, there will be no school. The teachers will be attending a local professional enrichment seminar.

Hanford Health & Safety Expo: I’m planning to take the students to the Health & Safety Expo on Tuesday morning, May 18. I will need parents to go with us. If you are available let me know! We will be going on Ben Franklin Transit.

PK-6 Spring Concert, May 20. The Spring Concert begins at 6:30 PM on Thursday, May 20. Our class will be singing.

Pet Day, May 28: The children’s favorite Show & Tell! Pets that can be caged may be brought for the morning. Other pets should be brought at 11:45 to show on the playground.

Summer Birthday Potluck June 3: Another of our traditions is to have a potluck lunch at the end of the year to celebrate the summer birthdays as well as the end of the school year. It’s always a fun potluck. If you can take off a few minutes at lunch time, come and join us! Also pray that it will be good weather for an outside picnic!

Last Day of School: Friday, June 4. At staff meeting on Tuesday evening we finally established that we will have 180 days by Friday, June 4 and will not have to come to school on Monday, June 7. Thankfully we only missed one day of school because of snow and that day was built into the calendar. It just makes sense to end the year on a Friday rather than coming back for a half day on Monday! There will be clean-up in the classroom on that Friday as well as fun ASB games.
