Lots of Info

Friday, May 30^th, has two big events: our Farmer’s Market and Field Day! To prepare for Farmer’s Market, we’ve been working on advertisements this week. Next week on Tuesday and Wednesday, we will have work days where students can work to prepare their goods or their booths. We will put finishing touches on Thursday because the Market will open at 9:00 on Friday! We will run the Farmer’s Market until 9:45.
Later in the morning on the 30^th, is our field day. I have two volunteers to help us run our game station (Mosquito Tag) from 11:10 – 12:25. There’s always room for more!

Mosquito Tag—A large area is marked off by cones.  Two players are it and are carrying the noodles.  When they tag a person with the noodle, that person stands still and pretends to scratch his mosquito bites.  To free a person who has been tagged, 2 other players have to form an arch over the tagged players head and say “Deep Woods Off.”  The mosquitoes (2 people who are it) can be killed. Eight players must from a line shoulder to shoulder and yell “1,2,3 “ and make a big clapping noise on 4.  If this is accomplished the mosquitoes have been killed and a new game begins or if all players are tagged the game ends.  Sometimes the game goes on for an extended amount of time, so you might have to just choose 2 new people to be it.

On Monday the 2^nd, I plan to bring in a small treat (I’m thinking donuts) to celebrate my birthday and we will also have a cougar compliment celebration of a game day. Students may bring in board games to play for a part of our day.

On Tuesday the 3^rd, our End of the Year Assembly will take place. Please make sure your child has on sunscreen. Kids may wear caps and bring blankets or towels to sit on. But the fun doesn’t stop there! We will use the blankets in the classroom for our Blanket and Book day! Kids may bring books from home and we will make forts, or sit on blankets “Picnic Style” to enjoy a fun day of reading and sharing our love of books with each other for a portion of the day. We will also have our non-referral celebration of an extra recess that day at 2:30 for students who did not go to the office during the third trimester.

The afternoon of Wednesday the 4^th, we will have another cougar compliment celebration and have a relaxing afternoon movie and popcorn. Nothing needs to be provided and kids don’t need to bring anything extra that day. Please still send backpacks as we will be slowly bringing supplies and things home.

The last day on Thursday the 5^th will be a bittersweet one. Exciting for summer, sad to say goodbye. Although it is an early dismissal day, it is still an important one! We will bringing the last of our things home and I have a small goodbye gift for each student so please make sure you plan to have your child in attendance that day.
