Last week of school events

Here's what's in the news for the last week of school!!!!

TOMORROW: Monday morning will be the All-School picture. This is a very casual picture of all of the students. Please do not worry about dressing up your child for the picture.

On Tuesday, Ladybugs that are going into the Superstars class next year will go for a short visit to the Superstars classroom. Superstars that are moving up will visit in the Sharks classroom. All of this will happen between 10 and 10:45am.

Tuesday, from 2:00-3:00, is the Renaissance Faire which will be brought to you by the Explorers and the Navigators. You will see their Renaissance Research papers, their Renaissance display boards, artwork, power points and much much more!! I look forward to seeing you there.

Thursday is Beach Day. A packet went home in yesterday’s Thursday packet. Don’t forget to read the packet and return the permission form.

This is a fun day at the beach that has become an annual trip at the end of each school year. If you can drive and chaperone, that would be terrific. Especially for the Ladybugs-they will go down in the morning with the other students but may return a little earlier.

THANKS A LATTE !!

In the morning between 7:30am and 9:30am, we would like to invite all of the volunteers that helped out so much this year (this means you) to stop in for a latte or tea or mocha. Katherine Overton has arranged for a “Latte Truck” to be here. We can never tell you how much we appreciate your family and all of the help that you have provided throughout the year. We could not do it without you!! So, THANKS A LATTE !

Friday is the last day of school.
It is EARLY RELEASE at NOON.

Also, don’t forget about the PBC Skating Party at Pattison’s West, directly after the early release (12:00 noon) on Friday. Bring your child to the skating rink from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30pm. Have lunch and enjoy the company of many other Seabury families. Teachers will not be there. We will have a meeting after school. So, while your summer has begun, we are still at school working.

Summer at Seabury starts on Monday, June 16th. Check out the brochure or website for more information. There are spots left in many of the classes. Before and after care will be offered all summer. Your child can make new friends or see old ones, even invite a friend to come to camp with them.

Renaissance Faire Update

Hear Ye, Hear Ye:

News Update!!
The Renaissance Faire has been rescheduled for Tuesday, June 10th, from 2:00-3:00. All are invited.

In the past 22 years of teaching, I have rarely, if ever, altered a due date. However, this time I feel I must. The Navigators and Explorers have missed many Social Studies classes due to the music rehearsals, choir and "revised rescheduled" schedules, in-service days and federal holidays. It's been an incredibly busy few weeks. In addition, we have had more than our fair share of technical difficulties with the school printers. Ahh, never a dull moment here in the classroom.

After careful consideration, I feel in all fairness to the classes, I will reschedule the due dates to Tuesday. All Navigator and Explorer students have been working so incredibly hard on their research papers, project boards, Michelangelo reproductions (which they did by lieing on their backs and drawing under their desks on the piece of paper scotch taped to the underside of the desk, their PowerPoint presentations and their pastel Medieval and Renaissance paintings.

Please note that only the research paper and the display board are required from the Navigators. The Explorers have their research paper, display board, Michelangelo reproductions, and their pastel pictures. Many are also doing their PowerPoint presentation. There is a lot of learning going on. I am very impressed with both classes' dedication with these in-class assignments. The days are exhausting but wonderful nonetheless. Each day different students tell me something new that they have learned about their student interest generated research paper topic. I love learning something new each day and my students do too!

I certainly hope you will be able to join us a week from today when we can teleport you back in time to the Middle Ages and then into the Renaissance. It will be a wonderful journey!!
