Many thanks and Friday

Howdy all. The class enjoyed a beautiful day in Monterey. Thanks again to the parents who were generous and patient enough with their time and energy to accompany us. The kids got a real kick out of seeing their ocean report animals up close.

Friday is a mellow pajama day. It is also Mr. Heffner's last day with us for the school year. We'll be sending him off in style at 9:45 on the playground. Everyone is welcome to attend and help us celebrate his new position with the district.

Students are responsible for their reading logs and cursive packets on Friday.

The following conferences are also scheduled for Friday:

12:40 - Cole
1:00 - Jade
1:20 - Riley
1:40 - Chas
2:00 - Berkley
2:20 - Jessica

Respectfully, Mr. B

Wednesday & the aquarium

Howdy all. Homework is on the extreme light side this evening being that tomorrow is our aquarium field trip. A few notes about the trip:

1.) We are leaving school at 8. Our lab is scheduled for 9:15, which should give us an ample amount of time to get there and park,
2.) Directions will be available to our drivers and chaperones before heading out,
3.) Everyone needs to bring a sack lunch,
4.) the gift shops are off-limits to students, so no need to bring $,
5.) lunches should be brought to aquarium entrance. We will be storing them in lockers until our lunch time,
6.) students and families will need to arrange for transportation home from school when we return at 2.

Students are responisble for the following work tonight:

-Reading Log (due Friday)
-James and the Giant peach packet page 38 (started in class, mostly completed)
-Cursive packet 'C'
-bring a sack lunch

We have also learned that Friday is a school-wide Pajama Day. Sleeping bags, blankets, and stuffed animals can stay at home please.

Respectfully, Mr. B

Our field trip for this Thursday is sure to inconvenience many of you. It is my understanding that the Apple After School Program will also be on a field trip that day, and not will be returning to their site until 4:30. All families, whether they are bussed home or to Apple will need to arrange for transportation from Rio upon our return at 2. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience.
The following parents have been kind enough to volunteer their time and energy on Thursday's aquarium trip:

GIna Guhin x5, Leinaala Waikiki x6, Susan Forsberg x6, Linda Rossi x6, Melinda Losik x 4, Susan Manabe x5, Erika Reid x6 and Jessica Jacobson (chaperone only). We have just enough drivers at the moment, so please notify me ASAP if your plans to accompany us have changed. Everyone will need to bring a bag lunch on Thursday. We will be leaving promptly at 8.

The kids are responsible for the following tonight:

-Reading Log (due Friday)
-Math lesson 35 (all)
-Cursive packet, letter A
-Bullying permission slip (please read purple note in Green Folder and return to class if necessary. The questionairre will be administered on Friday.)
