This is the last Friday Housekeeping for the school year. Next Thursday will be a blur of emotion and activity as parents and children burdened with shopping bags crammed with artwork, inside shoes and report cards make their way out into the summer heat after hugs and well-wishing for a good holiday. The calm afterward is reminiscent of Boxing Day after Christmas- unsettling, relieving and bittersweet. Another year in the books. And for your reading pleasure, this made me laugh. Sorry.
- All library books are due back ASAP.
- Last posts and pictures for the year should be up early the first week of July, if not sooner.
- Big Little Science Centre will join us outside for an afternoon of bubbles on Monday, June 25.
- Our all-day trip to Isobel Lake is June 26. Parent helpers are needed please, although if there are too many volunteers some of you may have to travel in your vehicles. See previous post for more info. Please check the weather and plan accordingly.
- Classroom things will come home on Wednesday, June 27 (except inside shoes), so expect those stuffed-full plastic grocery bags of things we've been using all year.
- Thursday, June 28 is our last day (!!!), with an assembly and 12:00ish dismissal. Please send a snack as well as a backpack and make sure you take all of your child's belongings home, including inside shoes.

- The BEST newsletter can be found here.
- June sight words are: day, has, made, off, saw, they, them, went. Please feel free to practice them at home.
