Suddenly 70's Progam!
Talk about a dy-no-mite time! Our class, along with Mrs. Shiner's and Mrs. Netz's class performed some of the greatest hits from the 70's such as Lean On Me, Kung Fu Fighting, and I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing. Each child was able to tie-dye their own shirt for the performance. I think they were all totally tubular!
Poetry Cafe
This year's poetry cafe was another success. The students had a fun time writing poetry about their friends, family and nature. I am so proud of them! They learned how to write a free form poem, acrostic, haiku, cinquain and clerihew. Each picked their favorite two poems to read aloud. After, they served fresh strawberries and chocolate eclairs to their parents. Thank you to all of the parents who came to support their child. It meant the world to them!

We made it through core testing, hooray! Everyone did their best and we are happy to have the testing over.
The following are activities scheduled for the last days of school:
Thursday (today, May 7) 1:00-2:00 Author's Open House. Come see what your child has been writing during this school year.
Tuesday, May 12 10:00-Poetry Cafe. We have been writing poems all during National Poetry Month-April and the students are anxious to share their poems with parents.
Friday, May 15, all day-Virtual Zoo Field Trip. Since we do not have the funds to leave the school for a field trip, we are having a 'virtual' field trip with Kindergarten and First Grades. We'll have a day of rotations learning about zoo animals. It will be a fun day!
Tuesday, May 19-Field Day. This is a fun day that the PTA has planned for our students. You may want to send sunscreen with your child that day.
Wednesday, May 20-Park Day. School lunches will be provided for your child. They can bring any outside equipment they want but they must be able to carry it themselves since we will be walking to the park. I would suggest giving them extra water and sunscreen.
Thursday, May 21-Last Day of School! Early Release at 11:15.
Have a fantastic summer and don't forget to keep reading!
