During every spare moment today, I read bits of a story we started yesterday The Bears on Hemlock Mountain by Alice Dalgliesh. We played a couple of games we don't normally have time to play: heads up, 7-up and parachute. We had one injury with the parachute, but otherwise it was a good time. In the afternoon, the 5th graders shared fairy tales that they had written and illustrated.

Please DO send your child with a backpack tomorrow. I am cleaning the room right now and keep coming across papers that need to go home. I have a DVD for each of you that will be enclosed in your child's report card envelope, which they will receive tomorrow. I can't believe it's the end of the year! See you tomorrow.
