Where did the time go?

Dear Parents,

    I hope you have all had a wonderful and relaxing weekend! It is very hard to believe that we only have 13 more school days left together. Looking back on this year, I could not be more grateful for the group of children and parents I was given. I have been very reflective lately about this special group of students and how far they have come! Be prepared to see some tears in the days ahead as your child will always be an important part of my first and most special class.

With that being said, it is not the end yet and we have many more exciting events ahead. It is my hope that these next couple of weeks be both exciting as well as educational. 

International Travelers

Starting Monday, we will be traveling to Australia! It is finally International Travelers Week and we could not be thrilled to get started. Some of the highlights will include daily Art Activities, interactive lessons about the geography, climate, and daily life of Australians, a science experiment where we will grow our own coral, Anzac biscuit tasting (thank you Nyberg family!), a grade level art competition (wait til you see pictures of our Crocodile), a live Australian animal showing, a “walkabout” in the Media Center, Opening and Closing Ceremonies, and an Australian Festival! Phew! And that’s only scratching the surface!

*It’s not too late to volunteer for any open spots on our Shutterfly website.

Last Day of School

I have decided that I would like to turn our classroom into a campsite for the Last Day of School. Your child will be asked to wear his or her pajamas, bring a flashlight, and their favorite book(s). If you are willing to donate one or more of the following items to our classroom for the day please let me know:

*Camping Tent

*Smores Ingredients- graham crackers, Hershey bars, and marshmallows

Thank you for all that you do to support our class!

 Sincerely, 

 Mrs. Peake
