Computer Basics class
This will be a very informal class on the basics of computers. Each week we will
cover a different topic. Email how to’s, Microsoft office– Publisher, Word &
Excel. If you have a laptop to bring to the class and work on that would be ideal if
not we have a couple that we can pair up and work on. If you are interested in
attending please email me, [email protected], so I know how
many to plan for.
Snack Lady
On Monday, May 11 at 1:30 pm we will have our final snack lady for the year.
She is bringing a fruit for us to try. We will also be painting a picture about
“What I want to do this summer” .
Applause series–
The Adventures of Robin Hood
Wednesday, May 20 we will leave the AEA parking lot at 9:30 am and head to
Des Moines for the final Applause show for this school year. This show will be at
the Temple Theater.
*Somewhere near you there is a band of brothers fighting for justice. Seeking to
rid the land of evil and return hope to the poorly treated.
They are lean, mean, trained justice fighting machines! Armed with whatever
comes their way, nothing is as it seems in this Sherwood Forrest, but one thing is
for sure . . . no rogue is safe!
Join internationally acclaimed Visible Fictions for a silly and unexpected take on
Robin Hood and be prepared to unleash your imagination! Suitable for those ages
7 and over.
End of the year Picnic
Wednesday, May 27 we will meet at Memorial Park at the cabin for our closing
picnic at 11:00. We will provide the hotdogs, buns & paper products. We ask
every family to bring side dishes to share & drinks for your family. We will eat
and then we will be learning how to geocache! The Freeman family are avid
geocachers and have agreed to teach us how! We will be using handheld GPS devices and walking through the park & woods searching for “treasures”. Please
wear shoes that will permit you to tromp around in the woods looking for little
treasures!! Please make every effort to join us for our final activity before summer
break!!
Curriculum requests
Please send in your curriculum requests for next year by June 2. This helps us to
be more prepared in the fall when you are ready to pick your materials up for the
year! If you need help deciding what you want to use next year please feel free to
call the office and either MarySue or Heather will be glad to talk to you about
some of your choices. This also gives us the opportunity to order any new materials that you may want to use.
Material turn in
Please turn in your materials by June 2nd. If you want to keep your materials over
the summer please notify us.
Contact Requirements
We are in the last month of the school year. Have you met your contact requirements for the 4th quarter (at least 4 contacts per quarter, 2 must be face to face) If
you have not met your requirements please contact your supervising teacher and
make an appointment to meet with her!
Think Summer!!
