Hi Fish Families.

Thank you all so much for the amazing Teacher Appreciation Luncheon and breakfast last week. The food was delicious and we enjoyed the relaxing lunch time without our duties!

I wanted to let you know that we practiced another Lock Down Drill at SMS today. The children were in music at the time. It was their first opportunity to practice this drill outside of our classroom. They did a great job. Surprisingly, many of them said it was the best part of their day.

We will be celebrating May Day on Thursday. We are doing things a tiny bit differently in the fish class this year. As our service project, we will be making Model Magic flowers and spring card for the Meals on Wheels program in the Exeter area. (In past years we have delivered fresh flowers to area nursing homes.) I am excited to participate in this new service learning project and hope it is meaningful for the students as well.

On Thursday, we will also be attending a puppet show at 12:35 in the library. Parents and younger siblings are welcome to join us. We will have an ice cream treat back in the classroom after. (Thank you to everyone who signed up on Signup Genius for this!)

Lastly, Kindergarten Field Day is scheduled for Friday, May 29th. If you would like to help out, please let me know. Volunteers are asked to meet us out by the back playground by 9:15. Field day is scheduled to end by 11:30. There isn't a rain date scheduled, so hope for nice weather!
