Hi Families,

Last week-We have created an ocean in our classroom! The kids painted the background and made some shells, seaweed and jellyfish. This week we will keep adding to it. Come on in and have your child show you what we’ve been doing. We did a writing activity where we answered the question “If I lived in the ocean I would be........” The kids had some great ideas and drew pictures of them. 

Thank you to the families that came out to help us at Playground clean-up on Saturday. Our play space is looking good. We have a full box of sand, the pinecones picked up and the weeds and trees trimmed back.

This week- We are learning more about the ocean. Be sure and have your Busy Bee work on their “report” that went home last week. They should find out 3 things about their ocean animal and a picture. Then they will bring the report back to school and tell the class about it.

We will be doing some activities around the book “the Rainbow fish” and at the end of the week we will make and eat an “Ocean in a cup” for our last cooking project of the year. No Class on Tuesday-we will be at the Play “Suessical”

This week on Wednesday,we will also go visit the Grandmas and Grandpas at Kindred for the last time this year.

Reading groups-The last two weeks of reading groups will be on a different schedule because of the play this week and Memorial day next week. If your childs day is Monday, this is their last week. If your Childs day is Tuesday, then next week will be their last week. Please be sure All materials are returned to school. I use these each year and it is hard when some books/games are not returned. Thank you for your cooperation!

Field trip-This Tuesday, May 19th. We will be seeing “Seussiscal Jr.” presented by Journey Theatre. It will be at Fort Vancouver High School at 9:30 Am or 11:45 am. Please be there a few minutes early to get seated.$6 per person and need to be paid for by Wednesday of this week. As always with field trips, parents are responsible for transportation and supervision of their child. 

Family Fun night-There will be one more Family Fun night for the year this Thursday May 21st from 5:30-7:00pm. We will be exploring Math and science on this night and will offer lots of hands on activities for the whole family. This is a free event, we hope your family will come join the fun.

Graduation Program- We are getting close to graduation and the end of the year so it’s time to get organized for our Graduation program. It will be on Friday June 5th @ 10:00am. If this is not your child’s regular day to attend class, please plan on bringing them at 9:00 like a regular day and joining us for Graduation at 10:00. We will sing some songs for you and put on a short play “The very Hungry Caterpillar”. Then we will present certificates and the kids will join you for some light snacks, cake and punch and to show you their portfolio they’ve been working on all year. To end our program, we will show a slide show of the year. The whole thing will last around an hour. We do have to be careful on our seating in Jason Lee Hall, so please be aware of the number of family you are inviting. If you are unable to join us this day, please let me know ahead of time. There will be a sign up sheet to help by bringing a snack,setting the tables or cleaning up when it’s over. This is an important day, the kids are going to be excited to share it with you.
