Friday, May 24- Friday, May 31

Friday, May 24 is Field Day.  It is a 2:00 dismissal.
I cannot emphasize enough how stressed out your children become when it's a different dismissal time and they aren't clear that you know this and are prepared for it. Please make sure they are aware of how they are getting home at 2:00 on Friday. Thank you so very much in advance!

Field Day: 
It's a dress down day. Students are encouraged to get into the color war spirit by wearing their team color, but no face, body or hair paint/colors. Students who come with this will be asked to remove it before participating. Please be aware of the weather & be sure your child has a water bottle, sunscreen, any medication he/she needs (epipen/inhaler), if not already in nurse's office and a change of clothes/shoes/socks  (this latter is only in the event that it ever actually storms like they keep threatening and the ground is wet/muddy).


Homework & Homework Folders: 
I am going to send one last math page home TOMORROW. Yes, it's a Thursday, and I know that's not the usual folder day, but since Friday is Field Day...let's go with it. The math homework is a "maze" to get through by identifying the square products (the answer when you multiply a number by itself-- examples: 3x3=9, 8x8=64, see the pattern?) This will be our last homework assignment of the year.

Check out the newsletter & photos of your children making emotion masks at the museum this past Tuesday!

Next Week:
No school on Monday, Memorial Day
Spring Show starts 9:30 in the shul on Thursday morning


As always, contact me with any questions, comments or concerns!

Enjoy your Memorial Day holiday weekend!
