Thank you to all the parents that joined us to chaperone/drive on our field trip. We can only do this because of you! We had a great time and we are looking forward to our next field trip on May 5^th to Loma Vista Farm!

· Explore It! Will be coming to visit us on Thursday to give us an on-site presentation. Be sure to ask your child about it Thursday night!

· Writing—This month’s writing topic is how things feel when you touch them. Please have your child practice for writing daily. By now students should be writing at least THREE sentences about how something feels when they touch it. Our goal is to have the kids choose one topic and elaborate on it, and really describing the experience. We are encouraging LOTS of writing that all goes together! THIS is how you will get to that exclusive Rubric 3!!!

***Tuesday May 31st we will be celebrating our dads for Father's Day. Same start times as above. AM K will be from 8:30-9:15 and PM from 11:45-12:30.
