Have a wonderful summer

What a great final day yesterday!

Many thanks to Robyn and to everyone who helped organize our party.  It was fantastic seeing so many of you here.  Thank you, from Shari, Mythandra and I, for the kind class gift!

Have a wonderful summer!

Wednesday Notes

I sent home a major shipment of art today.  Check your child’s backpacks!  .Look for a self-portrait from the first day of school, a self-portrait from today, and other miscellaneous masterpieces.

We had a wonderful time at field day this afternoon.  Your child will hopefully be a little extra tired this evening.

Our end-of-year party is tomorrow, beginning at 12:30.  Our plan is to start at the tables near the smaller playground in Wallace Park.  We will come back to the classroom around 1:20 and spend some time talking about each student.  Please come and help us celebrate an amazing year.

Friday Notes

I subtly put T-shirts in the backpacks of kids who earned 30 points during our Run for the Arts (a combination of number of sponsors and number of laps).  Students might not know they are there.  Please be sure to check your child’s backpack.  Every student who participated will get a small prize next week.

Our field trip is Monday.  We plan to leave Chapman at 10:30, walk to Macleay Park, eat lunch, walk to the stone house and then back to Chapman well before 1:00.  We could still use another volunteer or two.  I have ordered some sack lunches.  Please be sure to pack your child’s lunch in a paper bag and please be sure everything is disposable!   Also, be sure your child has appropriate shoes!

Many thanks to Robyn and everyone else involved in organizing our class party next Thursday.  The party will go from 12:30 to 1:30 and be followed by a quiet celebration of our students from 1:30 – 2:15.  If the weather holds, we will hold our party outside and the celebration in the classroom.  Please come celebrate our amazing year.

A visit from the cast

Belle, Gaston and many others from "Beauty and the Beast" came to answer questions and sing for us this afternoon.
