Peek at the Week of June 2-6

Field Day is Monday, June 2nd from 1:00-2:30.  Parents are invited to come and cheer on the kids.  Meet us on the front playground.  Mr. Barthold has assigned a color to each child.  Your child should try to wear a shirt of that color if you have it.  You may want to put sunscreen on your child in the morning before school. The room moms are coordinating popsicles and water for the class (thank you Barb and Julie!).  

(The rain date is the following Monday, June 9th.  I will send out an all-class email in the event that the June 2nd date is changed.)

Please remind your child to bring back any library books they still have checked out.  

No more written homework!

It was so much fun to perform our Three Piggie Opera last week!  The thrill of performing for a live audience was great.  

We are excitedly waiting for our butterflies to hatch.  It's been very cool to see the transformation of caterpillar to butterfly.
