It's hard to believe that the year is almost over!
A few end of the year reminders and information:
-No school on Monday for Memorial Day
-Tuesday: Professional sculptor, Wayne Trinklein, will visit second grade. Mr. Trinklein will talk to the students about being a professional artist. He will also bring in supplies to teach his craft and give students the opportunity to experiment with using copper.
Here is a link to his websites if you would like to take a look at his work:
