What you really need to know
It is so close to being summer, I have changed the backdrop of your newsletter in a show of hopeful optimism.
If your child has dietary restrictions, I am requesting email responses for the following two events:
- Kindergartners will enjoy popsicles on Wednesday, June 15. This is our only nurse-approved, annual food event! Popsicles will be dairy free. Mostly just sugar and water and a stick. Please let me know if you DO NOT give permission for your child to have a popsicle.
- Cafeteria orientation will take place on Wednesday, June 8. Students will practice using PIN codes to charge a food "purchase." They will walk through the pretend lunch line and have choices of fruit, graham crackers and/or milk. Please contact me to advise me if your child is restricted from eating any of these items.
Talent show rehearsals are underway. If your child is preparing an individual or group act, please make sure they are ready to perform by Tuesday, 5/31, one week before the show. If they are performing to music, please send in a CD with their song by Tuesday, 5/31.
Our ABC countdown has been loads of fun so far. Next week you can prepare for: Outside day on Tuesday (sunglasses optional) and Pajama day on Thursday. No at-home prep necessary for Friday.

Loads of summer learning ideas:
The things kids say. For real.
Mrs. Cohen: You'll have to share glue sticks at your table. We don't have enough left for each of you to have your own.
Student 1: What happens when we run out of glue sticks?
Student 2: We can use tape!
Mrs. Cohen: Or staples.
Student 3: Or yogurt.
