Of course the next two weeks are very busy at Beye School as we wind down the school year. Here are the special events happening in your child's school life for the remainder of the year!
Student Council is sponsoring the last fundraiser of the year called COINS 4 KIDS. This is to benefit children with cancer. Students will realize how even the smallest coin can make a difference to someone.
MATH MONEY? I still have the coins that you sent in for our math work this year. My intent was to save them for use in 2nd grade math. If you would prefer they are sent home and then sent in again in August, please let me know.
If I don't hear from you I will assume it is okay for me to keep them for second grade Everyday Math. Or...if you want to donate them to the fundraiser just let me know that as well!

What great weather we had! Thank you to the many parents that joined us! We had great discussions about what we saw and wrote descriptive paragraphs about the animals we liked best!

We planted the first grade garden under the guidance of Sue Ryba. Thank to Sue for all her hard work on this project! We hope to harvest what we grow and use it next year at nutritional tastings!

This will be our last Reading Buddy Get Together.
We will end our "partnerships" by wishing our 5th grade friends a great learning adventure at the Middle School.

As our final PBIS celebration, the students are invited to bring in a favorite board or card game for Tuesday afternoon. Please no electronic games. Encourage your child to bring a game he/she enjoys playing and knows well enough to teach others how to play. Please make sure your child's name is on the game.

Near the end of the day the students will meet their Olympic Day captain and then the entire school will meet for our "opening ceremony" which will include reminders of good sportsmanship and the recitation of the Olympic Oath.

Memorial Day holiday!
Tuesday, June 1st
It's Read-A-Lot and Clean-A-Lot day. Students should come to school with a large shopping bag or 2 to take home lots of school materials. They may also bring their favorite book.
Wednesday, June 2nd
We will spend some time moving out the first grade materials and bringing in the 2nd grade curriculum to our classroom. We will then have our end of the year picnic planned by our room parents. We will be at Stevenson Park from 10:30-1:30. Families are welcome to meet us there. Students must return the permission form sent home to join the walking trip. $5.00 is being collected from each family to cover the cost of food and fun. Students are welcome to bring soft, labeled, safe, outdoor toys for this event. Please send in permission and money ASAP so our planners can start the preparation.
Thursday, June 3rd
Please make sure your child arrives for our last meeting as first graders. SCHOOL IS IN SESSION FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. Each student will be bringing home a large envelope that will hold your child's report card, probably some additional school information and a lot of things that can be worked on to stay ready for next year. If your child returns to second grade in August with evidence of some learning over the summer, they will be invited to an ice cream party in September!
And finally...
