Details, details!

As these last few weeks of school start to fly by (sniffle!), I wanted to give you a couple of details:

Step Up Day: Friday is Step Up Day. I will meet all of the 'first graders' out on the playground at 7:55 and we will come into the classroom through the back doors of the school and hang our things in the first grade cubbies (rather than entering through the stage). If you are late to school that day, don't worry, just use the stage! This is one, simple and fun way for the kids who are already in my class to feel a little bit 'older'! Step Up Day is actually only 45 minutes so after that, I'll wave my magic wand and they will all go back to being kindergarteners!

Concert: Tonight is our Spring Concert. I'll see your child in the classroom at 6:15. It's going to be fabulous!

End of the year field trip: Weather permitting, we will take a walking field trip of Warren Village on the 11th in the afternoon. We will visit the town library where Marie, the children's librarian, has something special planned for us. We will explore a safe spot on the Kid's Brook and go to the Warren Store for a sweet, cool treat! We will be back by 3.

Last Day: The last day of school is a half day of school ending at 12:30. We will have our traditional fun Field Day (which parents are welcome to attend) but then will have some time in the classroom to wrap up and say goodbye. I'd like these last few moments of the year to be just our class together. Then it will be summer!

I can't believe this wonderful year is almost over!
