Happy May

Happy Monday!  Today Mr. Blomquist stopped in for 30 minutes and led our good-morning circle and read our Scholastic News with us.   It was a fun way to start the day.

Then we learned all about Claude Monet and his beautiful garden.   We painted pictures just like his Japanese Bridge painting.   We think we might see similar beautiful scenes on our field trip to the UW Botanical Gardens this Thursday. 

We will be leaving on the bus from Sandburg at 9:15 am.  The program is from 10-11:30 and if weather permits, we will stay for lunch.

Reminders:  Students need a snack and a sack lunch and dress according to the weather.

Chaperones needing directions will find them at the end of this post.

Mother's Day Tea and Art Show:   Monday, May 9th from 2:45-3:30.  We are looking forward to celebrating our moms!
