Week 34

The days fly by as we head towards the end of May. The final optional Parent Teacher conference will take place on May 24 between the hours of 4:30- 7:30pm. A letter went home on Friday for those of you interested in a quick meeting to touch base on your child's progress. Please fill in the tear off indicating whether you would like to meet or not.

We want to thank the parent chaperones who came on the Brooklyn Museum trip this Friday! Over a dozen families have volunteered for the next trip; I will let you know if you have been selected to come on Mat 27th.

Here's what's happening next week:

• We will have Dance class on Monday. This will be our final dance class before the performance on May 23rd. The performance will start at 9 am in our MMr. 
• The Chapter 12 Math test will take place on Monday.
• We will have our pre-performance Workshop for DanceAfrica in our class room on Tuesday. A teaching Artist from BAM will come to teach us about Senegal dance traditions, which is what we will be watching on our May 25th trip. Chaperones have already been selected and their tickets are already paid for. 
• Our Music concert at Bishop Ford will start at nine. Please make sure your child has his/ her recorder on Wednesday. We hope to see you there!
• We will have an Author's Visit on Thursday. Ted and Betsy Lewin are the authors and illustrators of many books that celebrate the world's culture. Our students have been looking at these beautiful picture books throughout the year. 
• On Friday, weather permitting, our annual Field Day will take place at Prospect Park. Please make sure your child is dressed in the school's green field trip t-shirt.

Have an excellent weekend!
