May Day!

on April 30, 2017

HelloEveryone!

Tomorrow  is May 1! It’s hard for me to realize our year together is almost over. It seems to have gone by so quickly.

May Day can be a seasonal celebration or a day to celebrate worker’s rights-or a little bit of both.

When I looked into the origins of May Day I wondered if it was related to the distress call, “mayday, mayday!” I guess the distress call comes from the French term m’aidez, which means ” help me.” Nothing wrong with a little French lesson to go along with the holiday’s history.

This first week in MAY will be busy-along with the rest of this month. This week we will start with the NWEA reading on Monday and Tuesday (Math NWEA will be next week), a science fair on Wednesday for those who chose to participate and we will end the week with MARKET DAY, on Friday from 12:30-3:00. We will have a ribbon cutting ceremony at 12:30. We hope you can join us at some point to see all of the cool products students have created.  Sincerely, A. Cronin
