Friendly Neighborhood Helpers

THANK YOU parents for a delicious Staff Appreciation Luncheon and Breakfast!  I truly enjoyed your generosity.  Both events were a wonderful treat.
 

We were so proud of how well the students sung their songs and acted them out in our Friendly Neighborhood Helpers musical!  Enjoy the photos.

Ride your bike to school was a big success.  There were even more bikes that camera couldn't capture.  

We have caterpillars growing in our classroom.  This unit is to help the children develop a deeper appreciation for the diversity of life and to cultivate a sense of respect for all living things.  If your child wants to catch an insect in a jar, please encourage him or her to do so and to return the insect to nature after a short time.

We enjoyed making our Mother's Day project.  Here they are all ready to go home.
