Cultural Play Tomorrow

Tomorrow, June 7 at 1:00 will be the Cultural Play presented by our class and 3rd through 5th grade classes.  Students may wear costumes to school tomorrow.  Come and learn about Africa and watch your child sing and dance tomorrow.  We will begin promptly at 1 in the gym.  See you then.

Field Day and Class Picnic

Field Day will be on Tuesday, June 11 from 12:15-1:00.  There will also be a dunk tank to try and knock a teacher in the water and an inflatable of some kind.  There will be a separate schedule for those things.  We will need volunteers that day.  Email me or Mr. Borg if you are interested.

Class Picnic-  This year, Kindergarten has invited us to join in on their picnic along with 1st grade.  It will be Thursday, June 13 from 11-11:45.  We are asking all families to bring a dish to pass and also bring separate food items for your own family to eat too.  I was told there will be tables set up for food.  Bring fold up chairs and blankets as well. More details to come as we get closer to the date!

Africa Fundraiser

Africa Fundraiser

Ms. Truxall’s class is raising money to send to the African Wildlife Foundation.  Our class has been studying areas of Africa and its animals. Many of these animals are endangered due to habitat loss, climate change, farming, the pet trade and poachers.  Our class feels strongly about keeping these animals as safe as possible. Please donate any amount that you can to help these animals.  Put your donation into an envelope, write Africa Donation and your name clearly, and give it to Ms. Truxall.  She will take all the donations and add her own donation and send it off to Africa to help these animals.  If you would like more information, please visit the website at www.awf.org. Thank you!

Field Trip Tomorrow- All students and chaperones please read

  Our field trip to the Matthaei Botanical Gardens in Ann Arbor is tomorrow.  Chaperones please be here by 8:45am. Check in at the office, check in with me and I’ll need one of you to watch the front parking lot for our bus.  They won’t tell us when they’ve arrived.  Our goal is to  leave by 9:15.
 We will be outside for part of the trip. Please dress for the weather and be sure to wears closed toe shoes.  Bring umbrellas.  There is a 70% chance of rain.
Adult chaperones who do not ride the bus will pay $1.70/hour for parking, payable at the kiosks located at either front or west entrance.
 We can use the auditorium for lunch in case of rain, othewise, we’ll picnic in the picnic grove which has several long tables. You may like to bring a few blankets to spread out as well.
We do go outside in light rain. In case of heavy rain we’ll have an indoor activity to substitute for the trails.
While the mosquitos weren’t bad yesterday, with the rain and warm temps I suspect they’re going to be out in full force soon. Bug spray is a good idea to protect against mosquitoes and ticks.
 We will continue with classes in the afternoon when we return from the field trip.  Thank you.

Hello!
Please remind the drumming club members that we have a rehearsal after school today.  If they plan on performing at the Cultural play on June 7 they must be in attendance at all remaining rehearsals.  We have new music and it will require practice.
