Science Study - Plants

We are continuing our study of plants here in class.  Miss Feller is having the kids do some great projects that we will connect to other learning such as math, reading and writing.  Science is such a great avenue to have learning make sense to each child.  I am very happy to have Miss Feller participate and teach with our class.

SWID - LAST WEDNESDAY

I was so impressed with the thought and attitude our class took while participating in the School-Wide Improvement Day.  What a wonderful place to work!  The kids feel as though they are an important link to the school's attitude and improvement issues - AND THEY ARE!!!  Perrydale is a wonderful place to work and your child makes life here a beautiful experience!

School-Wide Improvement Day - Wednesday

This coming Wednesday, Perrydale will be conducting a School-Wide Improvement Day where the kids get to be involved in creating ideas to make Perrydale an even better place.  I'm not sure how that is at all possible but I am anxious to see how the whole thing works.  Please ask your child how things go and what takes place after Wednesday.  On that day we will also watch the dress rehearsal of the play, Beauty And The Beast.  It will be quite a big day!

Upcoming Events

We have some exciting events that are coming up for you to mark on your calendars.


1.  Please bring the permission slips back for the swimming lessons that will take place beginning May 14 - 24 during the afternoons.


2.  We will be traveling to Central High School to see the production of "Honk" on May 8.  I only have a few spots available so if you would like to go, please let me know.


3.  Looking down the road, we will be travelling to Portland to see the Oregon Children's Theater production of, "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie".  This will take place on Friday, June 1 when we would normally have Friday school due to Memorial Day on the previous Monday.  I have only have 5 spots available for parents to join us on that day and it will be a special memory for your child.

5-2-1-0

I'm so impressed with the families that have boarded the health ship through 5-2-1-0!  The students understand the concept and are trying fruits and vegetables more and paying attention to their screen time use and exercise.  Oh what happy kids we have.  Health is so important and I certainly know that if I'm paying attention to what I eat and how much I move, then I feel great!  Thank you for helping your child be healthy from the inside out!
