Miss Pellin's Post
May 19th – May 23rd

Even though the end of school is rapidly coming closer, the class is still working hard. There is much more left to learn before school is out. We are now having an ABC countdown to summer. This is a fun way to count down until the end of the school year!

We will be going on a boat trip in Chicago on June 3rd. Please make sure that your child’s permission slip is turned in. The bus is full. If you would like come you can still meet us in Chicago at Navy Pier. If you would like to meet us, please include this information in your permission form and the cost is $7.00.
