Where the Adventure Begins...
Happy Friday!
Happy Friday, families! Who has milked a cow?! Some of our students have! Check out the pics above to see what a great job they did! In shared reading, Bilingual Pre-K students enjoyed the story Animals on the Farm. They wrote about the story and their culminating activity was cow milking with Mrs. Rubio! Thank you, Mrs. Castaneda, for sharing pictures of your sweet students! I loved being able to see them enjoy that!
As a reminder, please make sure you have dropped off your precious cargo before 7:40 or 11:40! As soon as the the clocks strikes 7:40 or 11:40, our daily arrival song plays signaling the teachers to walk all students to class to begin their day. We have had lots of late arrivals recently. Thank you for continuing to follow our arrival procedures and for being on time with your children. We want to make sure we maximize their learning during these last two months of the school year.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and stay dry!

I Want to Hear From YOU!
Many of you have posted comments, suggestions or questions on my Parent Padlet. Thank you! It is one of the ways for me to stay connected with you and allows other parents to see your questions. You never know when someone else is wondering the same thing. The cool thing is that it is completely anonymous! So post away and I will be sure to respond.
Just click on this link and you're on your way!

Please remember that the back loop of our school is for buses only!! When cars drive through, our buses cannot load or unload or move. It also creates a safety for students and staff that are back there. Keep all cars in the front and side loops only. Thank you so much!
The Counselor's Corner
Last week there was disappointing news reports about those cute rubber ducks kids love to play with during bath time. The news: squeeze toys are spraying out bacteria and fungi. Yuck! Although some bacteria can help build a strong immune system, too much can lead to illness. Here are tips to keep your toys clean and your child healthy:
· Purchase “water tight” toys
· Wash toys often—especially if your child or their friends have been sick
· Many hard plastic toys can be washed in the top rack of the dishwasher (hot cycle is best & small laundry bag will secure pieces in place)
· Cloth toys can be placed in washer (hot cycle) and then air dried
· Use disinfectant wipes on large toys
· Remember to wash outdoor toys with hot soapy water, then rinse.
