Hello families!
The end of the school year is near! We only have six weeks left! Here are some announcements and updates for the rest of the school year: Stargazing Campout: Our campout will take place on Saturday, June 1st. If you joined with me last year or with Mrs. Gausman in the past, it will be the same set-up. If this is your first time joining, here is the deal: This is a family event where siblings are welcome and camping is optional. If you cannot stay overnight, you are still more than welcome to join for dinner and stargazing. This is not a field trip, so families are in charge of watching their own children, or carpooling and sharing the responsibility. We will be at the Kingfisher Camp site at Milo McIver park. Our reservation starts at 4pm, so you can arrive any time between 4pm and 6:00pm to set up tents and the children can play in the field. Our potluck dinner will be at 6:30, so please arrive by 6:00 in order to help set up and bring your food to the table (potluck sign-up coming soon.) We will have some downtime before dusk (+~8:50), when we will head up to the upper field with astronomers from the Rose City Astronomers. After the stargazing, you are free to leave or camp at the campsite. We have the reservation just for Saturday night. I will send an e-mail next week with the potluck sign-up. I think it should be another fun campout! I will also be sending home a form next week to be filled out and returned. Thank you for your support! Field Trips: Our pictures from the SCRAP field trip and Endangered Species Showcase are now on Google Photos here. Our last field trip of the year is on May 17th and we will be going to the Bull Run Watershed. We have a permission form that needs to be signed for this field trip, and I will send that home this Thursday. Smarter Balanced Testing: Our state testing begins on May 13th and will continue until May 16th. Students will be testing in Reading and Math. It helps the whole class if everyone is present and on time for these tests. If you have questions about the opt-out form, please let me know. Upcoming Events: Thursday April 25th: All School Assembly (8am) Thursday, May 9th: Night of the Notables (for Middle School and 4th grade, but fun and informative:) Monday, May 13th: State testing (Smarter Balanced) begins Friday, May 17th: Field Trip Friday (Bull Run, last field trip!) Thursday, May 30th: All School Assembly (8am) Saturday, June 1st: Third Grade Astronomy Campout (arrive any time after 4pm, dinner at 6:30) Monday, June 3rd: Diffendoofer Day/Field Day Tuesday, June 4th: Last Day of school (Half day)
