We had such a fun time on our field trip. Here are some highlights!

Measuring with “Feet”
We have been learning how to measure with non-standard units of measurement in math. We have measured with linking cubes, straws, and now we have measured with actual feet! We used the feet to measure how long the railing was in the hallway.

Reminder: Half Day Tomorrow!
Tomorrow will be a half day with dismissal at 12:00. We will still have snack, but there is no need to pack a lunch since students will be going home before lunch time. (Unless they have an after school club that has agreed to still meet.) Students should still wear P.E. uniforms since they will have P.E. in the morning.
Online Auction Ends Tomorrow!
The OTA Online Auction ends tomorrow, Thursday, April 23rd. These items will NOT be available to bid on at the Gala on Saturday. Don’t miss out on some really great items!
Check out the Online Auction here.
There will be some items that are only available at the Gala during the live auction. Our Kindergarten art project, the fused glass plate and bowl set, is just one of these great items. Get a sneak peek at the Live Auction Items here.
Kindergarten Poets
Congratulations to the kindergarten students who will represent our class at the school poetry contest tomorrow: Brooke Tran, Jonah Turner, and Isla Cantzler!
All of the kindergarten kids did a great job! It was a tough decision only choosing three kids from our class. We wish Brooke, Jonah and Isla lots of luck tomorrow!
Join Mrs. Drinkward for a Summer Adventure!
6 Lucky Winners will get to spend an afternoon with Mrs. Drinkward! We will explore the New Children’s Museum, including a special visit with the museum chickens. Our adventure will end with a carousel ride and delicious ICE CREAM!
Bid on this experience for your child here.
Don’t forget to check out all of the great items on the OTA Online Auction.
Outdoor Patio Clean Up Party!
I am looking for some parents that would be willing to come and help give our outdoor patio a Spring cleaning. We will clean it up next Thursday, April 23rd after school at 3:30. We will need at least one person to bring pruning shears to trim the ivy and other vines that have grown down over the wall. It would also be helpful if someone has a leaf blower we could use as this is much more efficient than sweeping.
If you can not make it but would like to help beautify our outdoor space, you may donate a plant for our planters. We will need flowers, fruits, or vegetables we can nurture and enjoy. Last year we had strawberries and beans that did really well, but any plants are welcome.
Please email me if you would like to help on Thursday or donate a plant. As always, thank you for all your help to make our classroom great!
Grandparents Day – Friday, April 24th
Grandparents Day is a half-day with dismissal at 12:00. Students may leave earlier with grandparents, please just check-in with Mrs. Drinkward before leaving.
If your child’s grandparents are not available, your child may bring another guest (e.g. aunt, uncle, family friend) instead.
If your child would like to give or send an invitation to a grandparent, you may get a printable version here: Grandparents Day Invitation
