Wow...only four weeks to go! It is hard to believe that the year is coming to a close. It was so great to see many of you at the Auction on Friday night - Brian and I had a great time!!!
Tomorrow night is the FINAL Parent Alliance Meeting of the school year. This meeting will be covering many important issues that will affect your child's future education: budget cuts, fundraising, and more. Also, our very own, Sara Higgins (Ava's Mom) will be giving a presentation on ideas for improving the school lunch program; which is one of the only areas of improvement parents highlighted in the survey that went out at the beginning of the year. The meeting begins at 6:30 in the library, childcare is provided and there are some seriously good snacks! PLEASE CONSIDER ATTENDING - YOUR SUPPORT IMPACTS RIO DEL MAR IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE!!!!
This week we are continuing our ocean unit and will be learning about fish, sea anemones, crabs, and lobsters. Reading folders will come home this week and then again next week for the final time. Remember to keep your children reading over the summer to ensure they retain ALL that they have learned this past year! Our intro to subtraction is going well. We have been EXTREMELY busy making a few individual student books which will be on display at Open House!
Please mark your calendars: OPEN HOUSE THURSDAY MAY 22nd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Watch folders for information and permission slip for our final field trip of the year. We will be walking to the beach with Mr. Bryant's class (our reading buddies) on Tuesday, June 3rd. I will only need 2 - 3 parent volunteers to come along as a chaperone. If you haven't gone on a field trip yet this year and would like to join us for this last one, please let me know! Thanks!
Don't forget to send your child's ocean animal model sharing in either this week or next week! We have had one fabulous take-out box crab sent in so far!
Have a great week!
