It is all about Track and Field right now. We have practices 3 afternoons this week and the 1500s and 800s are being run on this Thursday and Friday. Next Wednesday (May 15) is our track meet and the permission slips for the zones are coming home the very next day. They need to be returned asap (the next school day is not until the Tuesday after the long weekend....) If you pick your child up from school (or if you are going to that Thursday (May 16)...PLEASE sign the permission slip and hand it in right then.
Because of track and field......Science and Social Studies are suspended right now and we will pick them up on the week beginning May 27. For my science classes, we will be looking at "Diversity of Life" (and I have borrowed the microscopes from Brock Middle School. We will need power bars for that (we do have some) so if you can donate a power bar, please send it in. For L.A. we are wrapping up our novel study and beginning poetry. In Math we are working on motion geometry and will hopefully be done that in a couple of weeks. In Fine Arts we have been working with the Boomwhackers and learning how to read basic notes on a musical staff.
The Vernon Waterslides trip is a go. We will be sending home permission slips next week sometime as soon as we figure out the total cost. The trip is taking place on June 14 and parent helpers are not required (we like to have this last trip with them to ourselves as soon they will be leaving us for the middle school...). We will be leaving early (probably 8:15) and getting back late (about 4:00).
We have one swimming day booked. June 17th. More details to follow. Hopefully we can book another one in June as well.
