Good Morning Everyone,
We experienced every kind of weather yesterday sun, rain, clouds etc and I hear thats what the plan is for all week. So when it's sunny, make sure you get out there and play!! I have been happy for the rain as it has helped out the garden that we have planted at the church. The other day when the kids and I went out there to release our butterflies the boxes and the spuds were very dry, which brings me to my first request. Between Ms. Jung's class and I we will need waterers beginning now and throughout the summer. Is there anyone that can volunteer a day during the school year to go and water the planter boxes. Ms. Jung and I will create a summer schedule as well so if you know of a week in the summer that you can check on our gardens then let me know and I will put you into the schedule. Unfortunately it looks like we have left it too long and a lot of the plants are severely dried out...maybe this beautiful rain will bring them back to life. You can email me if you can do some watering or let me know in the morning at school.

Speaking of school.....
We have been sooo busy with sooo many things and before you know it it will be summer already. Time has flown which it always does when you are having fun! Posted outside our classroom is a list of all the fun things that are going to be happening for the month of June. The first fun event is tomorrow...
OUR HIDDEN TALENTS SHOW. Yep it is tomorrow. The children are excited.Sarah is excited. I am nervous. Hahaha. We plan to set up in the library, rehearse in the morning, then do our presentation at 1100. So, make your way directly to the library where the chairs will be set up for you. They look forward to presenting their little skits to you.

On Monday is our second Karate session. Our first karate session was excellent. The children had so much fun with sensei Gemma. They did a lot of exercises which had them breathing hard and sweating. They had relays, learned some punches and some kicks and especially how to listen to the instructor. It is an amazing program with amazing instructors. I will take pictures tomorrow.

This last week at school had us busy learning about Switzerland from Michelle (our student from Staad, whose last day was Friday), releasing butterflies, spending two days with Ms. Craig (Tuesday and Wednesday), and doing our routine activities, math, spelling and art. Working on our group quilt with Theron's mom (Michelle), baking strawberry muffins (very yummy).The children have been very well behaved and have been working hard but I think they are ready for the summer, as that buzz is in the air of what they are planning to do! Read our door to get a glimpse of some of our activities planned.

With that, I hope you have a great week. Enjoy the pictures. Hope to see you all tomorrow at 1100 for their day of Talent.

PS. I have a single bed (practically brand new) and an extra single mattress. We are putting in larger beds for our bigger kids. If you want or know anyone who needs another single bed, we would love to give them to you. Just let me know.
The next few pictures are of our cleaning crews during our Jericho Beach Clean up which took place two weeks ago.
