Weekly Update

Dear Families,
We are so excited about Reading Restaurant tonight.  We look forward to seeing you all and share our written stories and projects with you.  Please do not forget to leave compliments or comments for our authors when you are here.  Each table has a "Tip Jar" for your convenience.  Our students have worked on decorating our classroom to reflect our "Pond Life" theme this year and they did an amazing job.  We really hope you will like it and notice all the little pond critters the children created. 
Today, team Synergy and team Horizon visited our classroom so the students had a chance to practice for tonight.  While they were a little nervous before our friends arrived, the quickly relaxed when they realized what a wonderful celebration this is.  I am so proud of their hard work and I hope you will all see their progress tonight.

Next week, we have our last 4 Winds class with Ms. Benoit's class.  It is scheduled for May 22.  We will go outside to study dandelions.  This means that the students will walk around in the tall grasses, where ticks like to live.  Please make sure your child is wearing long pants/jeans on Wednesday to make sure ticks cannot bite (no flipflops or sandals).  Also, please make sure your child wears sneakers and socks so we can tuck the pants inside the socks.  If your child does not want to wear sneakers all day, you can pack them and we will put them on before our class.  Thank you.

We look forward to seeing you all tonight.
