May Letters, Themes, Events



Be sure to look for our Weekly Class News in your child's folder each Friday - all you need to know about BSLK (and more!) will be on the newsletter!  In addition, a monthly calendar will be stapled inside your child's daily folder.  REMINDER:  our team color is the same as the daily folder.

No Family Project this month!
Volunteer Appreciation, Field Day, Move-Up Day/Graduation, End of the Year Party (I need parents to organize this please) this month.  PLEASE BRING YOUR CHILD'S VISOR TAG IF YOU ATTEND CLASS PARTIES/PROGRAMS DURING THE SCHOOL DAY.

BIG NEWS THIS MONTH:  At our End of the Year Party, I will present your child with his/her MEMORY BOOK, MEMORY SACK, AND CLASS MOVIE!!!  The movie will be playing during the party.  The kids LOVE to go through this with Mom or Dad.  Come if you can!  IF YOU KNOW/SEE MY MOM, THANK HER - she works ALL school year long on your child's Memory Books.
