Dear Parents,
I pray you will have a safe and relaxing Memorial Day weekend and will have time to spend with family and friends! It is so hard to believe how quickly this school year has gone and that we have only a little more than a week left of school! We have lots of field trips and events coming up and look forward to the special memories and relationship building opportunities ahead! Please refer to the lesson plans for each day's activities for your child. I look forward to seeing everyone again next week Wednesday, May 29. There are field trips and outings on Wednesday, so dress accordingly.
Looking Ahead:
On Memorial Day, I am planning to march with Isaac, Addie, Alaina, Kenzie, and Sydney. We'll meet on the southwest corner of Cherry St. and South Centennial at 8:45am. Dress in red, white, and blue and I'll see you there! We'll have fun blowing bubbles with the other ZCS students as we march together! Parents will need to check in with me before I can dismiss your child at the end of the parade route.
Market Day: I've posted the link (see the sidebar) to the super 4th grade student commercials. Take a look to see each groups' business product. Well done!
Save your Pop Cans! Mini-Economics Unit: Our class has been talking about ways we can support the World Vision organization and I know some students have been bringing in extra change from odd jobs they have been helping with at home. We have shared an ad with teachers that students created in class and have challenged students to donate "10 For Our Friends"! The elementary grade students will be helping us collect pop cans until May 31 to raise money to purchase rabbits, goats, chickens, or ducks. Please save your pop cans and send them to school anytime before the 31st!
Picnic at Lawrence Park: On the last day of school, our class will be having lunch at Lawrence Park for PIZZA and a few games together. We'd love to have parents and siblings come along too! If you are interested in helping with a relay or other game at the park, please let me know. See the link to RSVP with the number attending from your family and the number of pizza slices your family will eat. We are asking for $2.00 - $3.00 per person to cover the cost of pizza. Link to RSVP
