Good morning parents and guardians, 

I hope your 3 day weekend is off to a good start!

Social Studies:

Science:

• Begin Science Expo project
• We held off on beginning the experiment yesterday due to the fact that we had many students absent. I plan on beginning the first part of the project this week.

ABC countdown:

• With the end of the school year approaching our class is participating in an ABC countdown. Everyday we are focusing on one letter and doing an activity around it. 
• Last weeks letters: A-art, B-bubbles and C-cookies
• The activities are meant to be fun but must also be earned. Students will be able to participate in the next day's activities if they end the day on yellow or above. We spoke about this as a class and all agreed it was fair. 

School events:

• Jump Rope for Hearts: Has been rescheduled for June 4 @ 2:30
• May 30- Awards assembly
• June 12- Lego Land trip
• As soon as I am given a final list of students attending I will contact volunteering parents as to who will be in their group (this will probably be 1 child besides your own).

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the above information please feel free to email me.

Have a great 3 day weekend with your families.

Miss. Maciel
