Graduation1

We have had a fun filled last day!  We have visited kindergarten teachers, had a graduation ceremony, played on the playground one last time, and asked friends for their signatures.  This has been an amazing group of students and while I will miss them, I believe that they are all ready for third grade!  Have an amazing summer and please come back and visit me!

Here are a few pictures from our graduation ceremony!  It was quick and Miss Natalie did the best she could to capture the moment before it was done!

Diabetes bracelets

We have an amazing class full of caring students. Someone we love was diagnosed with diabetes earlier this year and everyone has been so supportive, kind, and helpful.  Because of this awesome attitude, Nurse Kelly presented everyone with blue diabetes bracelets today during our Morning Meeting.  Thanks Nurse Kelly!!

Field Day at Airport Park

This is just a reminder that Monday, June 10th is our annual school trip to Airport Park. If it is rainy, we will go instead on Tuesday, June 11th.  I have already sent 2 notices home, but in case you missed it, there are a few things that your child should bring.

• sneakers to particpate in the Field Day activities.  They can bring flip flops, crocs, or other shoes to change into after the activities
• a sweatshirt because it can be pretty windy at Airport Park
• a waterbottle
• a towel or blanket to sit on
• a lunch if they are not buying the picnic lunch and a snack
• please apply sunscreen to your child before they come to school

If you plan on bringing your child home after the park, just send me a note!  Mr. Antonicci will make the decision on Monday morning whether or not to cancel. Have a great weekend and I'll see everyone at Airport Park!  Everyone is welcome!

Special Olympics Torch Run

The Special Olympics torch ran past UMS today.  This is the first year in awhile that we haven't had a student participating in the Special Olympics so Mr. T. picked 2 second graders from each class to run with the Colchester PD.  I was only able to capture a picture of one of our classmates because they ran by so quickly!

We made signs to cheer on our friends!

Here's they come! (I know it is tough to see them...)

 

It's blurry because they ran by SO fast!

The Village Scoop

Everyone loves the Village Scoop!! We had such a yummy time this afternoon! Here are some pictures from our walking excursion!
