CLASS PARTY
Our last class party will be on Thursday, June 28.  I did not assign any specific family to bring treats for this day (because there are often families who are not here at school) so I left it open.
So ... anyone who would like to bring a treat for this party day would be welcome to do so.  Thanks.

LOOKING FOR BOOKS
I have asked the children to take a look around their homes this weekend and to please return all of the class books to school.  My classroom books should have a white sticker on them with my name.

FATHER'S DAY
For Father's Day I had asked the children what they would like to give their father's on Father's Day.  Here are their answers.  The identities of "who said what" will be listed at the end of this post.

1) knee pads
2) chocolate milk and a new bag

Date Correction!

Yikes!  I was just re-reading the blog and realised that I printed the wrong date for the Spring Concert.
The actual date is Wednesday, June 6th.  Sorry about the error.  Pray for good weather.

We planted some sunflower seeds and are watching them grow.

We have been working on the Design Process for science this month.  We are designing and building helpful creations for Fairy Tale characters.
Here are some photos of the baskets we made to carry Little Red Riding Hood`s lunch, using only paper and tape.

Here are the chairs that we made for Baby Bear.
