Supply Box Information
Hello CCE family,
Every year the PTO offers pre-made school supply boxes that can be purchased for the next school year. Since times have changed and we cannot continue to collect order forms or payments like we usually do, we have created a website for school supply boxes to be ordered and payed for online.
Those of you that ordered boxes at Kindergarten round up or sent in orders prior to the close of school, I have your forms and payments. I will process them with the online orders.
Boxes will still be shipped to school and the PTO will disperse them to the classrooms for the students to get at Welcome Back Night. Kindergarten boxes will need to be picked up at Welcome Back Night since students will not be assigned to a particular classroom at that time.
Please go to https://cceptoschoolboxes.square.site to order.
Deadline is June 5, 2020.
Thank you for your patience with us during this time,
Jennifer Hansen
CCE PTO President

P.E. with Mrs. T
Happy Friday Eagles. I can't believe we are down to our last few weeks of school. I am so sad that we did not get to spend our final quarter together but hopeful and excited as I begin planning for next year. I know we will be together soon in the gym and having fun as always. Until then here are a few great activities that you can try at home. I miss you all and am sending lots of love your way.
❤️ - Mrs. T.

Letter from the Library
Dear Eagles,
I can’t believe how quickly the year is wrapping up! Albeit the most interesting school ever, it’s still ending in quick fashion, as they always do.
I find myself really enjoying this time at home...enjoying it in ways that I may not have in the hustle of life before the virus. I spend more time with my dogs, Shadow and Layla. As I’ve been home more the last eight weeks, we’ve spent a lot of time cuddling, going on walks and playing. I can’t say these old dogs are learning new tricks but they ARE eating an usually large number of treats these days! :) In the spirit of my four-legged babies, I decided to share some great dog books this week. I hope they make you smile...I was sure grinning ear to ear as I read them!

I continue to miss you more and more each week. I’d love to hear from you. Send an email to let me know if you enjoyed the books...or if you have any great books you can recommend to me! I’m thinking of you always...
Happy Reading!

Art with Mrs. Hanson & Mrs. Clark
Hey Eagles! I loved seeing some of you say “hello” on Facebook morning announcements on Wednesday. Thinking of you is the sunshine that still brightens my days! I have some great art activities for you this week:
READ about ART:
Check out this link to read the book “Ish” with me and then do some “Ish” drawings and paintings at home!
MAKE ART (See PDF below):
Download and print this drawing ideas list to help you when you can’t think of anything to draw. Now is a great time to make or buy a sketchbook and challenge yourself to draw one drawing EVERY day until next school year! The drawings could be abstract designs, portraits of people/pets, drawing items in your house, cartoon characters, Art for Kids Hub lessons - ANYTHING! The key to improving is to look carefully, be kind and patient with yourself and JUST KEEP DRAWING! Keeping your drawings in a sketchbook allows you to look back and see how much you’ve grown! Be sure to share some of your favorites with me!
Love,
Mrs. Clark
