Countdown!

Sharing:  Tiggers
Speech & Language Snack:  Lemon Bars provided by Lilly (and Lisa)!

Here we are just 8 days from our last day together in Room K.  It is hard to believe that 180 days have gone by because it still feels like we have just started our journey together.  Of course, when we look at the children we can't help but notice how much they have grown in every way.  They are taller, more coordinated, and so well-mannered.  They are a true Room K family.  They have learned so much: reading, computing in math, technology skills, to be conscious of each other's feelings, to daringly explore science concepts and to become part of the Topanga Elementary Charter School Community.

This week I will be sending home all personal belongs still remaining in the classroom.  Please check your child's Book Buddy each day and empty it.

We have a busy week, beginning with Tuesday morning when we will have a demonstration about the Watershed, specifically rivers such as our Topanga Creek.  We will learn about the impact we have on our environment as part of our We Give Back Program, which will culminate on Thursday with our field trip to the Heal the Bay Santa Monica Pier Aquarium. Some special field trip items: 

 1.  Remember to put sunscreen on your child
 2.  Please send your child in shoes, socks, with a sweatshirt, and hat-we are not
     sure what the weather will be like at the beach.
 3.  Send an easy to eat snack (we will eat it right when we arrive)
 4.  Send a lunch with a drink/water
 5.  If you are NOT driving, PLEASE REMEMBER TO LEAVE YOU CHILD'S
     LABELED BOOSTER SEAT!  All children must ride in a booster seat.

Tuesday afternoon at 12:30, we will attend the 4th grade Musical in the auditorium.  This is always an exciting event and the children get to see what they will be doing when they are the "big kids" on campus.

Wednesday is our annual Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast in the garden.  Please join us while we appreciate and honor you!  Thank you all for your help during the year!  Children will be supervised on the Kinder playground.

Friday is Track & Field Day!  We will have lots of fun activities on the Upper Playground.  Each class sponsors an activity.  Thank you to those of you who have volunteered to help out at our Sponge Relay game, and especially to Rachel, who as Room Mom, has sent a million emails to keep everyone up to date!
Please remember to bring:
1.  Water
2.  Tennis shoes!
3.  A sack lunch (lunch box is OK)

Thank you all for your help making our last 2 weeks of school filled with great memories!

Best wishes,
Mrs. W.
