Lil Steamer Families --
For those who have completed the FES 5Essentials Parent Survey already: THANK YOU!!!
Today will be the last reminder for any families who have not completed the survey yet. This link https://t.ly/NV5rv will take you to the survey; thanks in advance for providing us feedback to improve our school!
As a reminder, there is no school on Monday, April 1 due to Easter Monday. Students return to school on Tuesday, April 2!
Have a wonderful spring break,
JAGH
From the Desk of: AP Parsons
I hope everyone can find time in the next week to rest, relax, and recharge in order to wrap up the last two months of school. This school year has been full of learning and fun, lets make the rest of the year the best of the year!
AND A REMINDER!!! Tuesday, April 2, the day we return from break, is NATIONAL PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY DAY!! To celebrate, we are asking everyone to wear a shirt the color of their favorite jelly. I am not sure if I'll be wearing red for strawberry or purple for grape, everyone will have to wait and see!
From the Desk of: Counselor Meumann
I would like to wish everyone a Happy Easter! Here are some ideas for family fun during spring break:
Do an egg and spoon race.
Fill a jar with jelly beans and have the children guess how many are inside.
Read Easter and spring children’s books.
Plant flowers.
Decorate an Easter egg tree.
Dye and decorate some eggs for Easter.
Create Easter crafts.
Make a gift basket for a grandparent or elderly friend.
Do an Easter egg hunt.
Bake some special treats for loved ones.

Music In Our Schools Month
This month in Music, we’ve been listening to “Carnival of the Animals” by French composer Camille Saint-Saens. Students predicted which animals would have loud or soft sounds (Dynamics), which would have fast or slow beats (Tempo), discussed how each piece of music sounds like each different animal, what different instruments are used to portray the animals, and we experienced moods and rhythms with instruments, scarves, and more! At the end of the unit, students wrote their name on a big poster under their favorite part of the music!

LIBRARY NEWS
The students have been following 2 eagles, Jackie and Shadow, in Big Bear Lake, CA who have been sitting on 3 eggs. The students made predictions on how many eggs would hatch with the possibility of winning a prize. Unfortunately, none of the eggs have hatched and the experts tell us they are not viable any longer. It was a great experience watching the eagles on the live camera and we hope for a better turnout next year!
The Scholastic Book Fair last week was a HUGE success. Thank you to everyone who came and supported it!
Preschool Screenings to Start in April!
We are expanding our preschool program and will be able to enroll 80 students (ages 3 & 4) for the 24-25 school year! Don't miss your opportunity to enroll. Transportation is available for all students.
