I apologize for not reminding all of you that we did not have school yesterday. For those of you who I did not see, I hope you got my messages. I know how difficult it is to arrange child care. I certainly hope everything worked out for all of you.

This week we will be reading the story Hush! by Minfong Ho. Along with this story, we will be working with the letter U. This will be the last letter that we will learn. However, during these last few weeks, we will get a peak of what awaits in first grade. For math, we will be working with addition and subtraction story problems. We will also be working with the numbers up to one hundred. During our circle time, we will finish the unit on rocks and go into magnets. Our Bible lessons will be “A Young Girl Helps Naaman” and “Jonah.” >From these lessons we will learn that God wants us to share his Word with unbelievers.

Our class has been confirmed to go to the zoo on June 3. I do need to get the permission slips so any time you can get them to me I would appreciate it. Also, if you have not taken the “Keeping Kids Safe” class, I need to know. This class is a prerequisite for chaperoning on any field trip. Please let me know soon so that I can arrange a class for you.

As I mentioned in the last note, we will have a simple graduation ceremony on June 5 at 11:00 am. Please make every effort to come to this. The children will sing songs and then receive their diplomas. You are welcome to invite any friends or grandparents who would like to come. If you need more information, let me know.

I want to take this time to thank all of you for coming to the Ascension service. The children did a wonderful job of praising their ascended Lord.

This week Thursday, we will be seeing the dress rehearsal of ‘Way out West in a Dress.’ This is a play being done by the children in grades four through eight. You are welcome to come to this if you want. It will start at 9:30. They will also put this production on Friday evening at 7:00 pm.

I believe that is all for this week. Enjoy the nice weather and have a good week!
