Dear Room 18 Families, 

The zoo trip was so fun! The students were excited to share their favorite animals from the zoo when they returned to school. Thank you to the volunteers who chaperoned on the trip: Sarah Dillon, Jerilyn Pennington, Jennifer Flynn, and Emily Carter for keeping our kids safe and teaching them all about the animals while touring the zoo.

This week and next we will be testing, and finishing up class projects. We will not be sending book bags home, but please have your child continue reading every night for 20 minutes. We will start again the week of 5-15-17.

Remember the animal dioramas are due Wednesday, May 17th. The students should be making an animal habitat for the animal they researched. The diorama should also include the animal, which can be made from clay or drawn on paper. Encourage your child to use his/her imagination!

This Friday is our last School Spirit Day. It is “Tropical Island” theme. The students who participate will be entered in a raffle to win a prize.

Our first Garden Work Day will be this Saturday, May 6th from 9-12:30. I am hoping to have fun activities for the kids while the parents work to clean up the garden. Please let me know if you can come for even ½ an hour. We will need all the help we can get!

Sharing reminder: The red group shares on Monday (Noah, Alejandra, Jacksin, and Nathan), orange shares Tuesday (Mariah, Lincoln, Kira, Jahzara, and Preston), green shares Wednesday (David, Joe, Mitzi, Adrianne, and Hank), blue shares Thursday (Donovan and Jida), and purple (Chloe, Erick, Riley, and Jesse) shares on Friday.

The end of the year is near! This month will fly by and June 9th will be here before we know it. These kiddos are almost 2nd graders!
