Skirts and Shorts

Since the children are very active and go to gym and outside play, they are moving around a lot these days. We would like to suggest that the girls wear shorts under their skirts so they can play everything the boys play and keep their privacy.

Tomorrow instead!

Apparently SOME of the classes are having the Humane Society presentation today and some are tomorrow. We are tomorrow, so if you ask your child about it today you will get even less information out of them than you may on a regular day! But Miss Tiffany saw the guest animal and it is very cute.

Scientists in the Schools

The parent council has given us funds to have a special science experience and our class is going to have Scientists in the Schools present to us on insects! This will be on June 9th. A letter is coming home today. We are looking for 4 volunteers to help with insect centres. You will get training from Petra, our scientist. If you can help out, please let us know on the letter we are sending home and return it to school tomorrow. Thanks for your help!
