I was back at school today but am still very hoarse. Students read their mini books to three others and then colored them. In science, students measured the height of their sunflower plants. We learned the importance of bees to plants and flowers. We would not have apples, almonds, or pumpkins without bees. Students made bees out of toilet paper tubes and "flew" them at the end of the day.

There was an assembly this morning about "morning walk," which will begin on Monday. Students who arrive before 8:05 (before any staff members are on duty) are to line up as usual. When a staff member arrives, students will begin walking in the same direction around the edges of the blacktop part of the playground. When the bell rings at 8:15, they are to finish their last lap, and then go to their line. I'm sure it will only take a few days to get the hang of it.

You will get a May lunch menu in your Monday envelope, but I thought I could at least let you know what's for lunch on Monday. It will be Cheesy Nachos, Corn Dog, or Beef Ravioli. Heads up: no school next Friday, May 7th. Have a great weekend.
