Dear Parents,
It was great to see and hear about all the creations made from recycled products! Thank you for your help with this project.
We had a great time in the makerspace yesterday! A huge thank you to Mrs. and Mr. Petrova, Mr. Ichien, Mrs. Martinez, Mrs. South, and Mrs. Korde. We couldn’t have done it without you!
On Tuesday, we had a great Cornerstone Lesson with Mrs. Smiley and Mrs. Joseph. They read us the story, One by Kathryn Otoshi. For a project, our class drew designs and words of peace and kindness on rocks. Then we placed the rocks throughout the playground and field so they could be found by others.
Our class will begin to work on our class play based on the story, The Great Kapok Tree. Our show will be on Friday, May 31st at 8:30 am in our classroom. I hope you can join us!
The Flat Stanley Display’s due date is May 8. Don’t worry if your Flat Stanley has not arrived back home yet. The due dates are guideline dates. My only request is that I have them a few days before Open House (5/22), so I can add them to the wall display.
Our school reached our goal for “Silver Saves Lives!” Students collected over $2,400! Mrs. Bailey colored her hair purple as promised!
Our field trip to Vasona-YSI is on Tuesday 4/30. Please let me know if you would like to come with us. We will leave AV at 9:00 and return about 1:15. There will most likely be room on the bus, but a small chance you will need to drive. I have prepaid parking passes if you drive. So far I have the following parents signed up: Jason Smiley, Mahshad Kamali, Brittny Thompson, Souyma Korde, Lawerence Byrne, and Mr. Price. Thank you.
