Week of 6/8

Dear Families,

We are excited to celebrate and wrap up the year!

This week we have fun celebratory events, Backyard Project shares, and our end-of-year grade level traditions planned! Your child is welcome to bring a sweet treat to Summer Birthdays or our last Class Meeting

It will be exciting to have the students share their months-long work on their Backyard Projects! On Tuesday, they will be meeting in design groups to share their Backyard Projects and celebrate those of their peers. We look forward to seeing and hearing about Prototypes built for squirrels, rabbits, Black-capped Chickadees, Steller’s Jays, calla lilies, and more! Their work and dedication to their backyards has been amazing to be a part of and what lucky flora and fauna you all have!

Thank you so much for your partnership throughout the year and we wish you all a healthy and happy summer!
