Hello families,

Happy Memorial Day!

I hope everyone enjoyed the strawberries and vegetables from Underwood Farms. Thank you to those who chaperoned. I don't have any pictures from the trip. If you can, please email me any that you took. 

I have updated the pictures page, and will continue to do so over the next two weeks.

The year has flown by! We have only 9 more days...

Wednesday, May 31: Field trip to the Fowler Museum at UCLA with our 2nd grade buddies. Please pack a fully disposable lunch, as we will be walking and will not be able to carry too much. If you are sending more food than your child can eat (maybe for STAR or an after school event, please pack that in a separate bag to be left in your child's backpack). Students must also wear their WAVE t-shirts. 

Thursday, June 1: Morning Assembly - 3rd grade recorder performance. Students should line up like we do for morning assembly on Mondays. Snacks and lunches to remain in backpacks until after the assembly.

Friday, June 2: Student Council Spirit Day, College Day - Students wear a shirt from a favorite college.

Monday, June 5: WAVE Awards Assembly - This will be a longer morning assembly. Consider sending your child to school in a hat.

Tuesday, June 6: Mad Science in the morning, class party at 11:30 (send only snack for your child on this day).

Wednesday, June 7: Bubblemania Bubble Party

Thursday, June 8: Minimum Day - School is in session from 8:00 - 12:30 

Friday, June 9: Minimum Day - School is in session from 8:00 - 12:30. Last day of school. We will be watching the 5th grade vs. Teachers softball game. Please join us from 12-12:30, for Room 16’s Culmination Ceremony. Other family members are welcome to come. 

Thanks,
​Christina Polay

Hello everyone,

Thank you SO much for all of the cards, flowers, and other gifts for Teacher Appreciation Day. You made my week - I feel very grateful to have you and your children in my life!

Room 16 will be visiting the Book Fair tomorrow. If you'd like, you can send your child to school with a small amount of money and we will help him/her pick out a book. Otherwise, you can visit together on Thursday night during Open House.

I hope to see everyone on Thursday between 6 and 7:30 p.m. It is a great night to have your child show you around our classroom, and to see the work that's to come in other classes/grades.

Other announcements:

• This Thursday, school is dismissed at 2:05 p.m.
• This Friday, school begins at 8 a.m. and ends at 12:30 p.m. 
• This Friday, our school is participating in Jump Rope for Heart. Donation forms were sent home last Friday and are due by this Friday. 
• This Friday is Color Day. Kindergarten’s color is red. If your child would like to participate, he or she can wear anything red.
• We will have a short culmination ceremony on the last day of school, June 9. More details to come, but it should begin around 12 p.m.
• We will also have an end-of-the year celebration. More details to come next week.

Have a great night,
Christina Polay
