What is Happening?????

Dear Parents:

As you know, the Kindergarten Classes will be going on a trip to the Tribeca Performing Arts Center, BMCC, 199 Chambers Street, New York, New York on Friday, May 15, 2009 to see The Paper Bag Players perform in the show “Make A Little Room For Me!” for a 10:30 a.m. performance. We will be leaving the school at 9:30 a.m. and will be going by school bus. I am very sorry that we are only allowed to take 2 parent volunteers.

This is due to the fact that there is a limited amount of room in the theatre. I have sent notices to the parents chosen for the trip. For any parent who paid for the trip and is not a volunteer, I will return your money. I am so sorry. I love having parents come with us. Since one of my children is not coming, I was allowed to take three parents. I have chosen parents who have never come on trips with our class. I think this is fair. We will return to school after lunch and I have decided that I would order and pay for pizza for the class for lunch when we return. So we will be having a pizza party!!! Therefore, do not bring lunch for your child.

Also...if the weather permits, we will be going on a walking trip to the public library on Tuesday May 19th. We will be going to the Windsor Terrace branch. We are due there 1:00 p.m. We are scheduled to have the children being read to by one of the librarians. For the children who filled out applications, we will also receive our new library cards and be able to take out books. If your child already has a library card, please bring it in. I am presently holding several library cards for the children who gave them to me previously. Please dress your child appropriately. We will return to the library in a few weeks where the children will return their books to the library. We will also visit the playground for our playground study on our way back from the library. This is a fun walking trip and if any parent would like to come, I would be happy to have them.

I am getting pretty sad that the year is almost over. As many of you know, I have two of my own children graduating from school - one from high school and one from middle school. Yet, combined with my own children moving on in life, I have become very attached to all my children in K-207. I think I am going to be a basket case at the end of June. I love your kids like they are my own so I am not only losing my first child who is on his way to college in August but 21 others..... I am emotional even thinking about it!!!

Thank you for all your support!
Ms. Graham
