Updates and announcements

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend! In a futile search for boba tea, we saw several restaurants packed with curbside pickup orders.

Fifth Grade Promotion will take place on Wednesday, May 20th in the form of a car parade. More specific information went out last week in an email. Here are the times for the three classes:

5A: 8:00-8:45
5B: 9:00-9:45
5C: 10:00-10:45

All teachers will be outside cheering on our graduates for the entire duration of the event. We all taught all of the students and want to see them and celebrate with them! Traditionally, all three lead teachers help present to all three classes during the ceremony. A video will be available to you on Wednesday morning which will have speeches from Mr. Gillingham, the teachers, and a student representative from each class.

Please review Mr. Gillingham’s announcement coming soon regarding work for NEXT week (5/18-5/21). Fifth grade will provide material on Monday and Tuesday of that week to give students time to prepare for Promotion on Wednesday and our celebration on Thursday.

We will do a class Zoom on Thursday, 5/21, for our end of year celebration. More information to come.
I did not have many pictures this week, so I needed to raid Dr. Lynch's stash. This is one of Gustav's favorite spots.


Baby quilt underway!

Cosmo cuddling with his first favorite foot (the other foot is his second favorite)

Gustav being a slight nuisance during the staff meeting (he was chewing on a nail file and rolling around on the desk...) 

Gustav enjoying the pillow like the humans do

If he fits, he sits (the recliner behind him is always pushed down because Cosmo likes to lay on the top part of the back).

Gustav is asleep in this picture, showing his belly to the world.

Miss Priss post-bath, looking very sleek
