Summer is almost here. I have enjoyed having your children in my classroom. We have had a busy school year.

Currently, Mary Ottmar from the Iowa State Extension Office has been presenting a program entitled "Manners Magic." On Friday, there will be a culminating activity in the lunchroom where the students will demonstrate the manners they've learned.

Also on Friday, May 8, we will have the Bike Rodeo, presented by the sheriff's department, in the afternoon. Students will ride their bikes to school and park them in the northeast corner of the playground. The students that do not have bikes will share with students that brought bikes. The main focus of the rodeo will be bike safety. Each student will be presented with a bike helmet.

On May 22, we will take a field trip to Omaha, Nebraska. We will be visiting the Omaha Children's Museum and the Omaha World Herald. The school will provide sack lunches which will come from your child's lunch account. There is no money required for this trip. They may bring small inexpensive games, books, or paper and pencils for the bus ride. They may also bring a camera. However, teachers are not responsible for any of these items.

Our last day of school is May 26th. School will be dismissed one hour early. I'm hoping students will continue to read during the summer. It would be advantageous if they would also practice their math facts during those months. It has been a pleasure having your child in my room.
