We had a fun on the farm today, learning about growing crops, composting, organic pest control and even chicken handling!  Many thanks to all parents who drove.

We have one more section of the state testing which I will administer tomorrow.  The kids have been troopers through this process, and I appreciate their excellent effort.

The Heritage Report is due this Friday. I will continue to assign final draft paragraphs for homework each night this week.  I'm reminding everyone to check the final draft guideline sheets I gave them.

Reminder:  If your child needs to purchase an unlimited rides wristband for the Boardwalk trip, payment must be made by this Friday, 5/19.   Thanks!

Heritage Report:  Continue to write one or two final draft paragraphs each night.  Report due on 5/19.

Two important announcements about upcoming class trips:

1)  I need to change the date that Boardwalk payments are due.  The new final due date to turn in money for the wristband is Friday, May 19.  This will give the school treasurer ample time to make out a check to cover the cost for the entire 5th grade.  Thank you!

2)  As of today, I don't have enough drivers for the UCSC Life Lab trip next Monday.  I have drivers to take 17 students.  I can take 3 myself, but we will still be 9 short.  I know this is such a busy time of year, but if you think you might be able to help, please let me know.  Thanks again!

It was so nice to see you all at Open House last week.  Your children have done wonderful work this year and it was fun showing it all off!

I started assigning final draft paragraphs of the heritage report today and will continue to do this through next week.  I sent home some final report information today and told everyone to refer to these pages while completing the report.  The report is due on Friday, May 19.  Early submissions are welcome!

I also sent home the permission slip for our end-of-the-year trip to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.  We will be going on Wednesday, June 7.  We will leave school at 10:15 and will return around 3:30.  Please remember to arrange transportation home for your child.  Thanks!
