Fun in the sun!

We are all so thankful for the weather last week that we wanted to share some of our fun with you. As you can see even though we are outside we are still taking advantage of teamwork and studying together; we are quizzing each other on our state capitals. We are still encouraging all of the students to get their homework done inside before we head out but we are also encouraging them to continue to work outside. I mean come on if we can enjoy a good book outside then we can do a little studying too.

We wanted to let everyone know that last week we started putting sunscreen on all of the children. If you have any questions about special sunscreen please see Mr. Corey or myself and we will be able to help you. As of right now we are using the rest of our supplies before we order more for the summer. The kids weren't very excited about the start of the sunscreen, or skunk-screen as most of them call it. However, we figure that it's better to be safe than sorry and if they want to enjoy the sun then they need to have it on.

Last week was an awesome week to be outside. We love it when we can pull the JCC's out of their room and bring them outside with us. Not only do they entertain the teachers but they are also great helpers and step up when they need too.
This weather is definitely bringing the idea of summer camp closer. Which speaking of summer camp have you turned in your forms yet? We are hoping that you are thinking about summer just as muh as we are. I know we have said it a lot but there is a lot of fun stuff that is planned for this summer and we hope to see everyone there!

Oh yea and look for us outside on Thursday for sure, 80 degrees!

Updates

We hope everyone had a great weekend and enjoyed the weather, whether it was looking for Easter eggs or reading a good book in the sun. Can you believe it 8 weeks and 2 days left of school! We can definitely tell that the kids are ready for summer to begin. As the weather gets nicer we are hoping that we can start heading back outside in the morning. However if students have homework or need to work with teachers we will make sure we accomodate to everyones needs. Speaking of outside we are hoping that the playground continues to stay dry. However, we are still asking that the kids wear boots, jackets, and hats. We figure that it is easier to be prepared and have the option to remove layers rather than search to find items to keep us warm.

Basketball Club is off and running. The kids are having a great time and learning that they all have a competitive side to them. The kindergartners and 1st graders are enjoying their time on Tuesdays and the 2nd-6th graders are really showing their skills on Thursdays.
