It's June

I hope that you had a fabulous weekend. The next four weeks are going to be full of excitement!  If your family is planning to be away and missing school during this month it would be appreciated if you gave me as much notice as possible. Thank you.

The students have been very engaged and interested in our unit study of Nunavut. Here is a video we created. It is a silent art gallery returning work in the style of Ted Harrison. 

To wrap up our unit we are going to the museum to see actual artifacts and learn about Inuit life. This trip is in the afternoon on Thursday, June 11. I look forward to having some of you join us.

We have a second field trip planned for June 15.  This will be an all day trip to Oak Hammock Marsh to take in a variety of animal workshops.  A permission form will go home Tuesday this week.

As we are nearing the end of the year it is a good time to have your child check at home for books and materials that need to be returned to the classroom. I have loaned out many books from my personal collection and would like to have them in the classroom for upcoming years. 

This week Wednesday is Evening of the Arts. Students are asked to be at school by 6:00 pm. Grade 2s will meet in our classroom with their violins. Grade 3s will meet in Ms. Whitney's classroom with their violins. Students will sit with their class for the entire performance. Please remember your chairs and blankets. The Scholastic book fair will be open before and after the performance. The Read-a-Thon winners will be posted that night as well.
