End of Year Activities

Only one more day EOG testing with Jenn being used to help proctor. I appreciate all the parent help during this time! It's been hard on the kids having so many days with routine changes. We are also working on our end of year assessments.


Animal project reports are due tomorrow. This  is the large paper that was sent home a couple of weeks before spring break. Your child is to draw their animal and write several facts about it. Their project is due next Wed. May 25th. This can be a poster, puppet, model, mask or costume. Your child will carry/wear this for our animal parade on June 1st at 9:00. To see the parade, find a spot along the hallway near foyer to watch the k classes come through.
June 3rd- 8:30-10:30
Kids need to wear shorts, tennis shoes, hat and sunscreen. We will put on their blue tie-die shirts when they get to school. We need parent volunteers to take small groups to each station. Need a parent to bring a cooler on wheels with 30+ small bottles of water and ice. Need 24 popsicles for afternoon cool down.
