First Day of Summer

Parents,

I'll occasionally post articles or items of interest throughout the summer.  I thought you'd find the following of interest today!

Today is the longest day of the year and the first "official" day of summer.  The following link has some interesting news about the first day of summer:  http://www.almanac.com/content/first-day-summer-summer-solstice.

Garage Sale Wishlist

Hello everyone!  I have been working with Mrs. Gallagher, the new Montessori kindergarten teacher.  As we assemble the materials order for her classroom we are asking for your help!  If you are a GARAGE SALE DIVA please be on the lookout for the following:

• Baskets
• Plastic, wooden, or wicker trays
• Small glass dishes or jars
• Small, low bookshelves that are in good condition
• Picture books (that are not movie or TV show related)
• Small realistic-looking objects (such as animals, farm animals, household objects)
• Puzzles or games for indoor recess (for the kindergarten age)

Any help is appreciated!  If you find things please send me an email or let me know.  Mrs. Gallagher is very excited and leaves for training next week.

Leftovers in the Classroom...

A few things have turned up in the classroom.  I found a guitar, 2 shovels, and a stuffed animal.  I will be in the classroom working on Monday; please let me know if you can stop in on Monday to pick up the forgotten items.  After the classroom is checked out for the summer, the cleaning crews take over and I cannot guarantee you things will still be here in the fall!

Thanks-

Mrs. Perrien
