 Track & Field Day!
The children will participate in the 50 meter dash, long jump, softball throw, and a bubble station.

TOP SECRET!!

 Don't tell anyone that we are going to run and scream in the halls while everyone is outside for Track & Field! We are going to take full advantage of this since we have been told all year long to walk and be quiet in the hall. 😊 
   It's day 160...Zero the Hero will visit!
NO Music Today

We will learn why we celebrate Memorial Day... 
~Story: What is Memorial Day?
~Coloring Page 
~Mini Book of Facts
Project: Poppy
We see poppies for sale this time of year so the children will learn why this is done and make a poppy to bring home. 

~A friendly reminder for parent pick-up today, come to our exterior classroom door for checkout.

~Have a wonderful holiday weekend!
