There were 2 notes in the “to be mailed” bucket that my mailers never got a chance to do…

The first was the June menu, so here is that in case you need it for tomorrow:  June Lunch Menu

The second was the permission slip for our Detroit Zoo field trip next week.  I will send it home tomorrow, but I have attached it just in case you want to be ahead of the game or, at the very least, see the details for the trip.  There is no limit on chaperones for this trip – the more the merrier!! 🙂  Please remember that this is a trip for your 2nd grader to enjoy so if you would like to chaperone but have little ones, please make other arrangements for them.   Zoo permission slip

We had a great day today!!  Thanks so much for being so generous with the treats/time/snacks, etc….we VERY much appreciate it!  We accomplished all the important stuff on our list for today 😉  It was pretty warm in our room so thinking ahead to next week, please try to send a water bottle with your child for their desk.  (Does anyone have a box fan laying around they don’t use???)

No homework over the long weekend 🙂  Spelling isn’t due until June 3rd.

A few pics from this week – buddies and birthday bash:

• Science test tomorrow! Science Study Guide Jeopardy Plants

I am so grateful for the special touches you all contributed to that made this week AMAZING!!  From the bulletin board to the flowers, and then today the super cute bag filled with awesome gifts – it was all very generous and certainly made me feel special!  I LOVED it all 🙂  Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

was SUPER fun 🙂  An enormous thank-you to everyone who was able to drive!!!!  We look forward to having as many parents as we can join us on June 8th for our trip to the zoo, also!!

Here are some pictures from yesterday:

We are taking the NWEA reading test in the morning tomorrow!  Everyone needs a good night’s sleep and a hearty breakfast 🙂

Field Trip Tomorrow! We will be going to Ford Lanes tomorrow afternoon. We will leave shortly AFTER our normal lunch/recess time, so students should plan to either bring a lunch or order like normal. Students will each have one slice of cheese pizza and a glass of Sprite at the bowling alley at around 2:00.

• If you volunteered to drive, please arrive to the school by 12:30. If you have not already stopped in to have your driver’s license and registration copied by Mrs. Jumaa or Mrs. Jenkins, please bring it with you and plan to arrive around 12:15 to have that taken care of before we need to leave. Thank you!

and decided we like getting our new spelling words on Tuesdays and turning them in on Mondays.  So, new spelling words will come home tomorrow and be due on Monday, May 9th.

Lunch menus DID come home today, but chef’s choice for Tuesday is:  1. bean/cheese burrito  2. cheese pocket pizza

Our field trip is coming up on Wednesday!!!  If you are a driver, please make sure you have stopped in the office and let them make a copy of your registration and insurance.
