Our park day is planned for this Friday from 9:30-2:30. Please be sure your student dresses for the weather. The forecast says that if it rains it will be in the afternoon. We are planning on going in the morning, and the we may return to the school early if we need to. We will need help getting the food to the park. Please let me know if you can deliver the food in your vehicle. We also need one more table. If the weather gets bad before we eat, we will return to school and set up food in the hallway.
Friday is not free dress day. We will have free dress day next Tuesday and Wednesday.
I know some parents are trying to juggle park day and kindergarten graduation. You can either leave siblings with me, or take them from the park to graduation. Please let me know what your plan is and make sure I know if you are taking your child from the park.
Next Monday I am having the class store. I would appreciate donations of things for girls, and outdoor activities such as: sidewalk chalk, jump ropes, balls, bubbles, and jewelry.
Next Tuesday and Wednesday are free dress days. Your student should dress for field day on Wednesday. Next Tuesday we are having a read in and game day. Your child may bring books and games to share. They may also bring a small stuffed animal or pillow.
The school is not serving lunch Tuesday, May 24th, so make sure your child brings a lunch from home.
Wednesday is field day and school is released at 11:00.

I'm going to send home Summer Challenge Book Lists to help you choose books to read over the summer. This is a suggested book list, not a required book list. You can also go to www.scholastic.com to find different book lists based on your child's reading level and interests.
I believe Mrs. Sullivan is giving the third graders a book list for the summer, too.
Try to take your child to the library over the summer. The library has many free activities for children that will engage them in literacy. The best thing you can do to keep your child from losing what they have learned over the summer is to read to them and have them read.

Third graders: Are you ready for a night of fun? I will meet you on the baseball diamond at 5:00 tonight. We will play some outdoor games to start with. Then we will eat pizza and do an art project. After that, we will watch a movie and eat popcorn. Your parents will pick you up at 9:00. What to bring: Wear tennis shoes and bring a white t-shirt. Also bring a snack to share with the other third graders. I am so excited, I can't wait! Parents: you are welcome to join us, or enjoy the quiet evening. Just remember our kids night ends at 9:00.
Here is an interesting web site that lists 50 Brain Facts Every Educator Should Know. I thought parents would want to know this information, too. It lists how the brain develops and interesting facts about memory and learning. Check it out, it's a good resource for things to help your child over the summer. www.associatesdegree.com

A few notes and reminders
There is no more homework packets for the year, however, there are two big projects due tomorrow and if the students don't get them mostly completed today they will bring them home to finish and turn in tomorrow.
Monday, May 23rd I will have a store for them to spend the money they have earned this semester. I do have quite a bit for the store, but could use a few items if anyone can donate some things. The items do not have to be new, you can go through your toys and stuffed animals and donate near new items. Also things from the dollar stores or Target dollar bins are great. Outdoor toys like frisbees, jump ropes, and bubbles are always a good seller. I also have more things for boys so if you can donate jewelry, hair accessories or sparkly items that would also help.
Reminder of upcoming events:
Friday, May 13-third grade night out
please bring a white t-shirt, drinks, snacks, or popcorn
any outside toys you want to play with
Thursday, May 19th students will be bringing all of their school stuff home.
Friday, May 20 is park day-permission slips are due tomorrow
this is also our last dress of choice day
Monday, May 23-- Store
Tuesday, May 24--Read-in: bring books, a pillow or stuffed animal, and a board game
No lunch served at school-students need to bring a sack lunch
Wednesday, May 25-- Field Day- a great day to join us. The kids have a lot of fun playing games and competing. Early Release-- School is over at 11:00
Please contact me if you have any questions about end of year events.
