Dear Parents,

Welcome to Week 34! There are so many things going on simultaneously in our class right now with the school year quickly drawing to a close. The Painted Lady caterpillars we ordered arrived and they’re growing really well! We’re still learning more details about wild animals.

Jeffrey Brown, Oliver’s father, came on Monday and shared his profession with our students. If you would like to come to our class to share your profession/career, please let me know.

Here are a few important dates:

  • Friday, May 6 – Police office visit

  • Tuesday, May 10 – All students will need to return library books today

  • Monday, May 16 at 8:30 - French Spring Show

  • Tuesday, May 24 – Field trip to Aquarium of the Pacific

Here are our adventures this week:

  • Une fontaine – drinking fountain or fountain

  • Une montre – watch
