Friday June 7, 2013

            The end is almost near and it feels like yesterday when we were starting this journey.  Next Tuesday an insect specialist will be coming to the library to do presentation on insects.  He will also bring many live insects along with some specimens.  This will be a perfect way to wrap up our insect unit.

            Our end of the year class party will be Tuesday June 18th morning.  We will be playing some games and doing other fun activities.  Students are welcome to bring in some food to share with the class.  Please do not bring in a lot as there are 17 students now in the Pre-K class. 

            Please remember that we will be going to the silkworm farm next Thursday.  Students need to bring a hat, sunscreen, bug repellent and their water bottle.  They will not need to bring a snack as there was extra money from the lunch we all had last Saturday.  A few mothers will prepare something on the day to share with all of the students.

            Ms. Vicky and I want to thank everyone that came last Saturday for lunch.  We had a great time and it was great to see so many familiar faces.  If you have any excellent pictures (we took many!) could you please share them with us?
