Kids & Trees

Ahhh!  Breath in deeply!  Smell that clean air?  Your child helped to make it today, with planting trees!  I am SO excited about our field trip!  There were over 200 kids up Vallecito, and each one of them got to plant a tree!  We planted over 200 trees today!!!  Here are some pics of the kids and their trees!

Update!

Hello all!  Sorry I haven't updated in a while!  Here is what's going on this week:

• We will be celebrating June birthdays on Friday, at 11:30, when the kids get back from lunch.
• We will celebrate all July and early August birthdays next Wednesday, at 1:00. 
• Field trip on Thursday!  Make sure your child has good walking shoes, pants, at least one water bottle, snack, a lunch (if they are bringing a home lunch), a hat, and gloves, if you've got some.  We will be planting trees outside, so please also send a jacket in case it gets cold or windy! 
• Mesa Madness is Saturday, from 8-2.  It is a giant yard sell here at school, so if you want to sell some stuff, reserve your spot today!  If you want to buy some stuff, come, too! 
• Field day is next Tuesday, May 25th!  It should be a fun day!
• Last day of school is next Thursday, May 27th!  I can't believe how the year has flown! 

Hope you have a great week!

• There will be no spelling words for the rest of the year.  Please work on sight words, reading, etc. 
• We will begin end-of-year testing this week.  Please try to make sure your child is on time and has had a good breakfast!  Thanks!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!  Have a wonderful week!

Field Trip Fun

Hello all! I'm sure you all know by now that we had a Field Trip today to Barnyard Days at the college. We had a blast! The kids learned to rope, did an obstacle course on a stick horse, saw a sheep get sheared, saw piglets, got to grind wheat into flour and did many other things! Please enjoy some of the pictres, and ask your child what they learned today!!! :) Beautiful weather for a field trip!
