GALAXY ROOM NEWS WEEKS OF MAY 11-22

Due to a change in my father’s illness Friday was my last regular day for this school year, I will see you all for the fall term. I truly have enjoyed all the children and will greatly miss those who will be continuing own next year at other schools. I know that they will do great wherever they go.
We have had many exciting adventures the last two weeks. Cowboy Bob came and spoke to us about his marathons on the North Pole & Antarctica. He showed us pictures & let us try on some of the layers he had to wear, including the boots with a 3-inch sole. We cannot wait for him to come back next year and tell us about his adventures on the other continents.
The children did such a great job performing the hula at International day and their displays were fantastic. We learned a lot.
We have had many Celebrations of Life this last couple of weeks. We celebrated Ian & Joshua turning 3 years old last Thursday and Friday and will celebrate Maren turning 3 years old on Tuesday.
This week is Spirit Week with a different item for each day, Tuesday-Crazy Socks, Wednesday-Wacky Hair and Thursday-Favorite Book -please bring one of your favorite books to read with your friends.
The end of this school year is coming to a close quickly, be sure to take home your child’s Grass Head that is in the classroom window and clean out your cubbies this week. Please turn in all library books by Thursday, May 28.
The school will be closed the 1st week of June to clean & prepare for the summer term. June 8th will be the first day of the summer term. Everyone will be receiving end of year reports and updates by the beginning of summer term look for them in the mail or by e-mail. If you do not receive, one please let me know. If there are, any questions during the summer please feel free to call or e-mail.

I have taken our classroom’s believed stuffed elephant Elmer with me and will be sending pictures & postcards from our adventures in Colorado. Encourage your child to practice their writing skills this summer by sending letters to me. I have left my parent’s address with Ms. Sara.
