It's hard to believe that the school year is almost over! It has been such a joy to teach your children this year! I have loved getting to know them and having them as part of my family:)

Here are a few reminders and some important information regarding the end of the year:
-Reminder that there will not be hot lunch served in the cafeteria. Make sure your child brings a packed lunch to school. 
-Monday's lunch recess will feature an ice-cream truck with peanut free, ice-cream treats for the kids. Ice cream treats are sponsored by PTL. 
-Tuesday is Jackson Pollock Day. Wear the regular uniform to school and bring a change of clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting covered with paint. We will change into the messy clothes after lunch recess. It may be a good idea to also have a towel in the car for the kids to sit on, just in case their clothes aren't quite dry. 
-We will clean out desks on Wednesday, please make sure the kids bring their backpacks as a lot of things will be coming home. We will also have an end of year celebration on Wednesday afternoon hosted by our room parents. Our celebration will feature cupcakes and a movie!
-Yearbooks will be sent home on Wednesday
-Thursday is our last day of school. We will dismiss at 10am after a closing chapel service. Thursday is a no backpack day.

2nd-4th grade spelling bee: Great job to Sarah and Lizzie for representing our class!

We learned about perimeter and area in math. The kids designed a picture on a small piece of paper and found their design's perimeter and area. Then they made a large version of their design out of post it notes.
