Dear Parents,
It’s been a very active week! We’re getting our classroom ready for our Reading
Restaurant (next Thursday), We’re doing the final editing on our Space Research
reports, and we’re learning how to insert pictures and clip art into those
papers. Many of us jump-roped in the gym today as part of Jump-rope for Heart, and we learned that the jumpers raised over
$19,000.00 ! Thank you, parents, for your generosity.
Those of us who stayed in the
classroom had our hands full too. We
hung our stars and constellation mobiles. We cut out moons, and we did some
work on our spaceship.
We all got back together in
the afternoon and we ended the day with a
“Swarm Party” that entailed a schoolwide parade to celebrate our being
safe, kind, and responsible. It started when the Kindergarteners marched down
the hallway, and walked through every kiva to pick up 1st and 2nd-grade
classes. We paraded right out the art-room door, around the building and into
the gym where we sang a thunderous rendition of the Allen Brook song. What a great way to end the week.
Please email me if you haven’t yet told me how many seats we should reserve for your
family on Thursday night.
Also, please email me if you haven’t yet signed up for parent-teacher
conferences. Check the conference schedule I sent out last week to see what
some possible times are (and give me your first, second, and third choices).
Have a great weekend,
everyone. See you at the Reading Restaurant!
Mr. Bolger
