Please let me know if your child CANNOT have these items! We will also get awards and do other fantastic things this day.  Please have your child here so we can properly say goodbye for the summer. 

 

Parents,
I need some help in the classroom this week before Thursday.  I have art books that need to be added to.  It just requires stapling art pages into art books.  It is probably about a 2 hours, or less, project.  Please let me know if you can help out.
Thanks!!

HERMIT CRABS
The time has come to put our Hermit Crabs up for adoption!  In order to put in for adoption, you will need to do a couple of things.   In order to adopt, you will need to provide a container for the crabs to live in, and insure that you will be willing to take care of them, feed them, purchase salt water for them, and Hermit Crab Dirt.  They need to have their dirt changed about every 3 weeks.  The dirt and the salt water can be purchased at most pet stores.  If you would like to adopt, please do the following:
First, send a note with your child by THURSDAY that states you would like to adopt 2 hermit crabs.   
Second, fill out the note I will send home with interested families and return it by FRIDAY.
Third, know that this is a drawing, all names of those who are interested will be put in a random name generator and the computer will draw the adoptive families.
Fourth, if your name is drawn, you will have the weekend to purchase your items and bring them to school by Monday.
Good luck to all interested families!

Please join us Tuesday, May 16th @ 2:00 for our class play!! Everyone is invited to attend.  We will be performing in the Q1 gym! 

On Thursday afternoon we will be painting our scenery.  Students may bring a change of clothes to wear so they do not get paint on their uniforms.  The change for clothing must still be dress down day school approved.  No tank tops, short shorts, or flipflops/sandals.  Parents are more than welcome to come and help paint. 
Thanks!!
