Happy Monday All!
I hope the weekend treated you well, the weather was certainly beautiful. Lots of yard work this weekend for me, plus a fantastic mountain bike ride on Sunday. I was feeling so relaxed on Sunday that I even took a moment and laid in my backyard watching the clouds float by–really, I did!
I’m feeling ready for the week, and I hope you are, too! Just 4 weeks left, and a 3 day weekend coming up!
A few notes to get you going:
1) SIW this week will be our extended time together to talk and dream about next year. We’ll start at 1:30 in Brian’s room. I will resend the prep questions later today to give you a little more time to think…
2) Our last two Fire Drills of the year will be this Tuesday at 9:20am, and June 9 at 9:20am
3) Invitations on Thursday, remember to sign up: Invitations
4) Grade 1 hosts CT this week! 2pm Friday
5) Just a reminder: We’re adding a few more Community Times between now and the end of the year for classes who haven’t had a chance to invite parents to join.
June 3: Grade 2 will host at 8:15am (we have Camp Amity this day)
June 10: Grade 5 will host their very last Community Time and we’ll start at 8:15 as they have a big day of biking adventures that day.
6) Camp Amity plans are coming together with parent volunteers. We’ll go with the same plan as last time as it seemed to work well (unless it didn’t, then please remind me!):
*We’ll start at 9:30am, break for lunch at 11am (15-20mins), and then continue until it feels like it’s time to end.
*If you plan to lead an activity please be sure all your materials are ready to go by 9am. Please put them on the stage in the gym and the EAs and I will take them out to the playground and get them set up.
7) Graduation-no new updates but just a reminder: We will host a community celebration of the graduates on Tuesday, June 14 in the morning (exact times still coming soon). A few students will give speeches, we’ll have a slide show, and class gifts will be given to the graduates. We’ll be done some time before lunch.
Family graduation will be Wednesday at 5pm. Traditionally all staff are present for this special event. We should be done around 6:30pm.
8) Another reminder, I’ve started a “Last 2 Weeks of School” doc–please have a look before planning events and be sure to update it as you do: Last 2 Weeks
