Bike Trip on Friday, June 1st!

Our bike trip is quickly approaching!  There is a final notice going home on Tuesday (look for it printed on pink paper) that will give all of the final details on this exciting day.  We are hoping for good weather, as there will not be opportunity to have a rain date.  Bikes should be dropped off at school either by 4 pm on Thursday, May 31 or by 9 am on the morning of the bike trip, June 1st.  We are still waiting for a few CORIs to be approved.  So, please make sure to check with Bridget in the office or the VIPS office to ensure that you have an approved CORI.  It is district policy that only chaperones with an approved CORI can attend field trips.  On the day of the trip, please remember the students need a backpack, a bagged lunch, plenty of water, and sunscreen.

Look who visited our class today!

This hawk sat outside our classroom for a good part of the morning today.  It went between the playground and a nearby tree.  The students loved watching it!

To ensure that your child does his/her best work, make sure that you stay on a normal schedule, ensure normal bedtime, and try your best to have an upbeat, relaxed breakfast/morning.  Encourage your child to do his/her best on the exams, without making your child nervous or anxious about them.  Your child has been well prepared and I am hopeful that they are ready to show how much learning that they have done this year!
