Since we are having our Read in PJ day next Monday, the Dolphins would also like to have a book swap.  Please help your child choose a book from home, that they have already enjoyed reading to swap for a 'nused' (new-used) book.  This way, each student can get a gently used book to read for our Read in PJ day. 

See the news below for a reminder of the activities for the last week of school.

“FUN”tastic Happenings

The following activities will take place our last week of school.  These activities are going to be filled with fantastic memories for the students.  We would like all students to participate to make these memories extra special.

 

The first of these activities takes place on Monday, May 18.  This will be our Read in PJ day & Agenda Scavenger Hunt.  .  Literature and reading will be celebrated all day.  The children can curl up with pillows, blankets, snacks, and stuffed animals to read books. The students may wear pajamas and bring their favorite books to read and a stuffed animal of their choice. 

 

Tuesday, May 19, we will be having Game Day.  The children may bring in a board game or card game to share.  There will be several opportunities for the children to enjoy playing varied games. No electronic games please!!!

 

On Wednesday, May 20, is our Class Talent Show and Spelling Bee. The children will have an opportunity to show off their talents in our Class Talent Show.  Participation is optional, but encouraged, either solo or with a buddy.  Acts may include singing, dancing, gymnastics, magic, or stand-up comedy, just to name a few.   We will have a class Spelling Bee in the morning and the top two from our class will go to the 3rd grade Spelling Bee in the afternoon.

 

Thursday, May 21,  will be Art Day.  We have several art center projects planned that the students will rotate through.  This will be a day of creativity.

 

Don’t forget to have your child bring in a big bag to carry all their belongings home on Thursday.

 

 

Finally, on Friday, May 22, our last day of school (Can you believe it?) we will have Movie Day.  Each third grade class will be showing a different movie.  The children will be given some choice of the movie they would like to see. They will be able to buy an admission ticket to the movie, drinks and popcorn with the tickets they have earned this year.

 

Finally, we will all say “good bye” to our fifth graders as they make their final walk through the school.

 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND ENCOURAGEMENT, NOT ONLY NOW, BUT THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.  HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!!!!!!
