Updates for week of May 18:

First of all, I wanted to thank all of you for your thanks and appreciation notes
during our Teacher Appreciation Week. We all enjoyed the recognition and especially
the catered lunch and cookies! That sure hit the spot.

Also, thank you for coming to our Europe Night. The kids had a great time showing
their talents of singing and acting and it was fun seeing them so excited. We
appreciate all your help providing the yummy desserts and for helping with clean up
and taking home projects/sculptures.

Seeking Pictures: I am missing pictures of the "Puss In Boots" play from Europe
Night. If you have any good shots from that play as well as others from the whole
evening, I'd like a few to put in the June Bug DVD. Please email them to me at
msjunesclass@cox.net or burn on a disk and send in to school by Tuesday morning so
I'll have time to work them into the show before burning the disks. Thanks!

June Bug Memories DVD's: The DVD's will be distributed beginning Thursday if not
sooner. I am including pictures from our Tuesday bowling party and any pictures
submitted by parents from Europe Night. If you did not order a copy yet or haven't
sent in your $10 payment, please do so early this week so I can be sure to burn enough
copies. Thanks!

Summer Homework: I will be sending home the homework packets throughout the week.
Three of our school copiers died on Friday and we're awaiting the repair man so this
may take a few more days to get out to you. But you can expect them by no later than
Friday's dismissal.

Looking ahead to our last week of events:
Monday: Shadow Day for our 3rd years moving up to Elementary 2. Regular work time for
the rest of the class with the exception of the visit by the incoming 1st years for
next year in the morning.

Tuesday: Bowling Pizza party at Sunset Bowl on 12th Street between Northern and
Dunlap (east side of road). If you offered to drive, please plan to leave the school
at 10:45 so arrive about 10 minutes earlier. By the way, we had enough drivers to
transport 45 children but only have 28, so we can have parents carpool together if you
are interested in doing so. We will be bowling from 11am - 1pm and having some yummy
pizza and drinks for lunch. So bring your bowling balls and come join us! We should
return by 1:30 or so.

Wednesday: 3rd year graduation and Dance Troupe presentation. We will still have
normal work time around these events.

Thursday: Slumber Party/Movie Day? We are so close to earning enough golden nuggets
to have our Slumber Party/Movie Day all day on Thursday. If it's a go, you're sure to
hear about it from your child. Here are the details: The kids can wear appropriate
PJ's to school and bring a pillow case filled with a small pillow, stuffed animal and
blanket that will fit in the pillowcase. We will also be able to have the kids bring
a "G-rated" only movie if they like to school with their name on the video so we can
be sure it's returned. We won't get through all the movies, but we'll sure try. =)

Friday: Early dismissal and clean out of the classroom. Your child needs to bring
their backpack and/or an extra bag to cart all their belongings home. The whole
school is closed at 11:30 so all children must be picked up promptly as there will be
no staff staying late that day.

Have a wonderful, safe and restful summer! I hope to see all returning students on
Friday, August 7th for our open house.
