Happy June!

 Our field trip is tomorrow!   Let's hope the sun is shining.
Thank you to our chaperones who will meet in the classroom to go over the details.
 ...Mrs. Mueller, Mrs. Dimitriou, Mr. Fornia, Mr. Adam, Mrs. Reed, Ms. Griffin, Mrs. Pinski, Mrs. Gupta, Ms. Kaminishi, Ms. Tran, Mrs. Thomsen.

We will be putting the kids on the bus along with the teachers.   

Parents can follow the bus, carpool, or meet us at the beach. We'll re-hook you up with your groups there.
Looking forward to a WET and wonderful day at the beach!

Thank you to the parents meeting us at the beach:  Ms. Santana, Ms. Darab, and Mrs. Wasdin.

Wow!  We are so lucky and thankful to have so many volunteers!!!

Students should have boots for wading in the wet sand and the water.  Bring jackets in case of rain.

We plan on arriving at 10AM and having our snack right away.
At 11:15 we will have lunch.
We will load the bus at 1pm.

Inspired by our trip tomorrow, we created chalk pastel beachscapes and added a starfish or other sea-life to our picture.






We continue to watch our grass and wheat seed grow!   We are keeping a science notebook and making great observations.   Here is what we noticed:
"My grass is half brown.  The top part is green and the bottom part is half dark brown"  (Christian)
"It is growing.  The grass is green"   (Kellie)
"I observed that my grass is 8 inches tall"   (Noah)
"I noticed that my wheat had a lot of white roots"   (Henry)
"My grass grew 8 inches"  (Azylyn)
"My wheat seed is growing a stem"  (Zoe)

We are also getting to be experts with money!   Today we practiced making a dollar in a variety of ways.

Things to Remember:
Sandburg BBQ this Friday
Volunteer "Thanks - a- latte" on June 15th
Father's Day event June 18th
1st grade End of year party on June 22
This is the week of lasts. . . last home work packet, last spelling test. . . last book shopping. . . last week of regular volunteer jobs, unless you'd like to still come in at your regular time and volunteer in any way that is needed as we pack and prepare for the end of our school year!


Have a wonderful week!
