This is the last blog of the 2017-2018 year! Look for the first blog of 2018-19 on Sunday, August 26.  Have a great summer everyone!

For the last week, it will be a busy one!!


CULMINATION/SHOWCASE NIGHT, Monday, June 4 5:00-6:00 for Kindergarten through Grade 4.  This is the night where your children will show you their final projects and portfolios so you can see how much they have grown this year and to share your child’s success in learning this year. It is always a favorite night in Lower School.

SUMMER LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES
Every summer, students experience what has been termed the summer slide.  I have put together some information about this for you at Summer Slide  Please click on the link to get information about this important topic.  I have also included websites to which your children can go to practice math and reading in a very fun way.

AN INVITATION
Lower School parents and students are invited to attend the Middle School Second Semester P3 Expo on Thursday, June 7, at 11 am. The Middle School P3 program (Personal Passion Project) involves each Middle School student focusing an a topic of their choice for the entire semester. The Expo will be a "trade-show" style event where students will share their learning in various ways, such as posters, displays, demonstrations, and traditional presentations. Lower School students might especially be interested in seeing the custom Lego mini figures that a few of the Middle Schoolers have created! You can RSVP here: http://evite.me/fpBbtvGHwc, or just plan to come to school on Thursday, June 7 at 11 am.

PICTURES THIS WEEK!
1.  The Pre-Kindergarten and Junior Kindergarten children learn about the life cycle by watching how caterpillars develop into butterflies in the Pre-Kindergarten and how ants live and die in an ant farm in Junior Kindergarten.  The Pre-K kids acted out the life cycle of the butterfly, so adorable.  Here the caterpillar is coming out of his cocoon. 

2. The Pre-Kindergarteners also studied Space and Planets.  Here they all painted different planets of our solar system.
