What's Happening in Room 34...

Things To Know...

• Our field trip to the Gempp conservation area is on Wednesday.  If you child has not returned the permissions slip, please do so as soon as possible.  

• Reminders for this field trip:
• Bring a sack lunch and drink
• Wear tennis shoes and long socks are recommended
• Apply sunscreen and bug repellent before arriving to school
• The students can wear a hat and bring a drawstring bag

• Crestwood's Field Day is on Friday!  Students may wear their swimsuit (girls under clothes and boys may wear their trunks).  Students should bring a change of clothes, shoe/socks and a towel to change into after morning water games.

• To end our Taco Truck design activity, we will have a taco truck visit Crestwood for the 4th grade students to purchase lunch and view the truck on Wednesday, May 22nd.  A menu will be coming home on Monday.  We ask that each student send in his/her order and money by Friday, so we can give the taco truck the order ahead of time.

• Several students received a notice from Crestwood's library for books that have not been returned.  Please ask your child if they have outstanding books and return them to school as soon as possible.  Thank you!
