Dear Families,
I'm sitting in the classroom while kids are in Music Class. The fan is trying to cool down the room but, it is hot! Here's hoping the temperature drops a little each day so that our Coffee House does not seem like a Sweat Lodge! Hope you all can make it to our Coffee House event on the last day of school 2-3:00.
I'm planning a walking field trip to Laurelhurst Park for Wednesday afternoon. This is something I usually do in the fall but, it didn't happen this year. We'll look at the types of trees, talk about the history of the park and retell the legend about the Douglas Fir cones. I'll have Ms. Orem with me so I am not pressed for volunteers. If you would like to join us, you are more than welcome to do so. This is a walking field trip within the neighborhood and the permission slip you signed at the beginning of the year should be sufficient. I'll double check to see that I have one for every student. We'll leave at 1:00 and return before 3:00.
We'll be taking down art work and sending home workbooks on Wednesday. Each kid should have a grocery bag, paper or cloth, to put their things into.
It has been such a pleasure working with your kids, they are ready for fourth grade!
Thanks so much,
Valerie McKenzie
