End of the Year

I can hardly believe that we are in the last few weeks of school.  This school year has flown by so quickly!  I am honored to work with your children and appreciate all of the help you've given them from home.  It has been a great school year!  

This week in Pre-K we will be learning about bugs and frogs.  We will travel to the school forest (weather permitting) and will hopefully catch some tadpoles and frogs from the pond.  We will also eat a snack and then walk back to the bus.  If the weather does not cooperate, we will have to cancel the field trip and instead will have a fun morning at school with a movie and popcorn.  Here are some Medford webpage's that contain some interesting history on our school forest:

Next week, our theme will be good bye friends.  We will make a special gift for our dads for Father's Day and will go on our last field trip of the year!  On Tuesday and Wednesday, we will walk to the city park.  There, we will enjoy play time, as well as a picnic lunch!  Afterwards, we will walk back to school.  Please note that we will most likely return around 12:15-12:30.  

UPDATES AND REMINDERS:

~Rest time items (blankets and pillows) will be coming home Wednesday and Thursday of this week.  Please keep these items at home as we will only have a short rest time next week.

~Please send a backpack with your child on the last day of school.  He/She will have many things to bring home for the summer!

~The last day of school for the district is Wednesday, June 5th.  This is an early release day and students will be dismissed at 1:22 P.M. - This only pertains to our M/W group.  T/TH students will be dismissed on Tuesday, June 4th at the regular dismissal time.
