Please remember there is no school on Monday, May 30 to honor our serviceman and celebrate Memorial Day.  We will see you all on Tuesday, May 31.


The SPRING DANCE/TUMBLING SHOW "Newsies" was fabulous.  It was so wonderful to see all three divisions of the school come together under the direction of Jessi Wunder to create an amazing show. 
   See more pictures at the bottom of the blog. 
VOLUNTEER THANK YOU BREAKFAST WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1 8:30AM IN THE LIBRARY!
Everyone who volunteered, even a little, this year is invited to attend! Please click on this link http://goo.gl/forms/7dH37TbWYZhgLjNv2  to let us know if you are coming.

PRE-KINDERGARTEN AND JUNIOR KINDERGARTEN BREAKFASTS Monday June 6 8:30-9:30 a.m.
CULMINATION NIGHT for Kindergarten-Fourth Grade, Monday, June 6 5:00-6:00 p.m. Information has been sent out by me and by the teachers.  These are truly wonderful events where you see how much progress your children have made this year!  We hope to see you all there.

END OF THE YEAR OUTING: SUNSET WOODS PARK, HIGHLAND PARK Wednesday, June 8 10:00-2:30 Everyone send good thoughts for good weather! Again, information was sent to you.  It is always a fabulous way to end the school year.  You are all welcome to join us.  We do ask you to drive as there is no extra room on the bus.  Directions are attached to the email accompanying the blog.

There is still room in both DISCOVERY UNLIMITED AND CAMP. Because the NU Center For Talent Development will be using our building this summer, Discovery will take place the first two weeks after school is out, June 13-24.  
  A full description of the Discovery and Camp offerings are at www.roycemoreschool.org/summer. You will also find a link for online registration.

Discovery is starting a week before camp this year.  Therefore we will be offering an Extended Day Program until 3:00 p.m. for those of you who need childcare for the first week.  The children will be able to cycle into camp as usual for the second week, so we will be having childcare until our usual 6:00 for that week.


PICTURES THIS WEEK:
1. The First Grade is in the middle of their Biomimicry Unit. They research an animal, create a book of their research and then "invent" something that mimics's their animal.  Here are fur pants that mimic his study of the wolf.




2. The Second Grade invited the parents and other classes to their "Rainforest"  The students had transformed their room into that habitat. Each student became an animal in one of the layers of the rainforest, researched that animal, wrote a three paragraph paper, and gave an oral presentation on what he/she had learned. Excuse some of the dark pictures, but the understory of the rainforest is dark!



   3. The PK, JK and K kids all went to the zoo.  They loved this field trip!








4. The early childhood classes studied life cycles. The Pre-Kindergarten studied butterflies, the Junior Kindergarten studied ants, and the Kindergarten studied lady bugs.  This picture is showing the release of the butterflies.
