The End is Near!

The school year is coming to a close.  It has gone by so fast!  As students look forward to summer vacation, some of them are having a hard time remembering that they are at still at school.  Some students are acting completely out of character and are making really poor choices.  Please reinforce with your children that it is important to continue to work hard and follow the rules for these last two weeks of school.

Here are some important things to remember:

May 14th is Crazy Sock Day!

May 14th Our class will be participating in a “store” with several other classes.  The students may bring items that they have made or things from home that they no longer want and “sell” them to other students.  No candy or soda will be allowed.  Also, there will not be access to electricity.  Students will be using Maria Montessori Money that they have been earning for the last couple of weeks.

May 15  is Crazy Hat or Hair Day!

May 16th is Pajama Day!

May 16th The 4th and 5th grade country/continent reports are due

May 16th is the 5th grade meeting to prepare for the Redwoods at 5:30 PM in the library.

May 17th is Dress Up as Your Future Occupation Day!

May 18th is Field Day and Dress Down Day.

May 21-25 are early out days.  School will be dismissed at 1:00 PM each day.

May 23rd is the Upper El Bridging/6th Grade Graduation at 10:30 AM in the gym.  Parents of 6th graders are invited to join us for breakfast at 9:30 AM prior to the ceremony.

May 23rd and 24th are Parent Teacher Conferences.  Please go to www.trackitforward.com and click on Event Sign Ups to find my sign up sheet.  I will be unable to do conferences on May 22nd, so I made the appointments for 15 minutes each to accommodate more parents.  If you would like more time, please sign up for two consecutive time slots.

May 25th is the last day of school!

Last, but not least, Ms. Petra and I are so thankful for all of the gifts and kind words shared with us during Teacher Appreciation Week.  Thank You!
