News and Notes from room 21 
May 14th - 18th, 2012



Dear Families,
I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful Mother's Day weekend. 
Remember this Friday is our Washington DC. program and portfolio sharing. Please try to have your first grader wear red/white/and blue for the performance that day. Our performance will begin at 2:00 and students will return to the classroom following the show to share their work and progress with you.
You may wish to come early for a good seat.  Our class will line up on the risers to the left of the stage in the Goldwood Room.

May 22nd from 10 - 11:00 our class will walk to Giant Eagle for a fun field trip connected to our nutrition unit in Health. 
So far I have the following parents who will be joining us on the walk that day: (Aya's mom,and Samara's mom).  If you would like to join us please let me know. It's a nice walk and we can take a couple more parents.

Friday May 25th is Creativity Day:) 

No school on Monday may 28th : Memorial Day

Friday June 1st is Goldwood Games.

Please let Mrs. Fougerouse and Mr. Rocco know if you are available to help at either of these special events. Many hands are needed for each day to be a success for the children.

Have a great week!
Mrs. B.
