On The Last Day of School

No backpacks or lunchboxes are allowed for the last day of school. We will send home all paperwork on Monday and Tuesday so please clean out your child's binder each day. If you child is bringing a lunch on Wednesday, please make it a sack lunch. (And see below for more lunch details.) Kindergarten through 2nd grade awards day will be Wednesday, May 22nd at 9:30. Every child in our class has earned at least one award, so we hope you will all be there to see them receive it. Please plan on arriving early as parking will most likely be an issue that day.

Please consider having your child stay for the entire day Wednesday and /or riding the buses home...

She really was a hero for sure. By the way… many of the kids said they had never tried cranberry sauce or seen the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade so those might be something fun to try this year. Math: We began our unit on measurable attributes. That means we began looking at the parts of things that w...

Pumpkin Treats We Sampled This Week

Here are some of the pumpkin treats we sampled this week in case you get the urge to do some weekend baking. The muffins with the cheesecake filling frosting and the seeds seemed to be the favorites for sure! Just know that we swapped traditional flour for almond meal baking mix to make all the recipes gluten free.
