This upcoming week is very busy:
*We will begin Program Practices (A reminder that our Spring Program is Tuesday, June 12 at
9:00 AM. You may take your child with you afterwards.)
*Thursday 6/7 is International Feast Day. Your child does not need a lunch or drink. They still need
to provide their own snack for the morning. I invite the children to dress in any Chinese apparel they
may have (chopsticks in hair, kimono, etc.)
*Friday 6/8 is Donuts for Dad 9:00-9:30. If dad can't make it, maybe an uncle, grandpa or male
neighbor friend could stop by.
*4th Quarter AR Cut off - Friday, June 8! Don't forget that this is part of your child's reading grade!
Many have already met their personal goal. An icecream party has been scheduled for June 11.
Next week we also have some big tests:
Thursday - Sci Ch 3
Friday - China Quiz (info will be sent home)

Next week we will begin studying CHINA!! To celebrate the end of our unit, we will have our
International Feast Day on Thursday, June 7. On this day the students will have Chinese food
for lunch. They will also get to visit Mexico (Mrs. Maguire's class) and try some Mexican cuisine.
Please send in $5 cash by Friday, June 1 to cover the cost of the Chinese food. This allows the
students to try a variety of different foods. Your child WILL NOT need a lunch this day.
I will also need some parent volunteers for the following:
*Servers the day of (for about an hour)- have 2 volunteers, still room for 1 or 2 more
*Cups/Plates (for 50 students) - got this covered!
*Drinks (for 50 students) - got this covered!
*Silverware (for 50 students) - got this covered!
Let me know if you are interested! It really is a fun day, and the students enjoy it so much.
