Dear Parents, May 6, 2015
The big news of the week is planting our tree for Earth/Arbor Day. On Monday of this week, with the help of our head janitor, we dug and prepared the hole for our tree. Then, in between the rain on Tuesday, we planted the flowing Crabtree. Next to the tree is a flower stake created and donated by Tom Nelson that says “Class of 2028”. The children will help care for it until the end of school. It will be “theirs” forever.
They have also been very busy this week making a surprise for mom! I love this project and look forward to hearing from you how accurate your child wasJ. Hope you enjoy and have a wonderful Mother’s Day!
Book orders for May and June coming home this week. I will put both orders in at the same time so we have them back well before school is out. Our online code is GWMWL.
The kids were thrilled to receive a package in the mail from the Pittsburgh Poison Center. We asked for and received Mr. Yuk stickers for each student! Looking ahead:
Looking ahead -we are planning a spring field trip on Thursday, May 21th, and Friday, May 22th. Chaperones are welcome. Permission forms came home last week. Please return them and $2 as soon as possible. Let me know if you plan on being a chaperone; I’ll add you to the list! If you plan on being a chaperone you have to fill out a special form. Let me know so I can get that to you in time.
Next week we will cover both Ii and Jj since they are so often confused, and talk about insects! Sincerely, Mrs. Drone
