Hello Parents,
NEW CLASS TIME: Based on conversations with you all, we will be moving our class time to start at 10:30 and end at 12:30 starting Monday June 28th. You should have received the new teams invitations showing the new start time and you can se that link to log into class just like you’ve always done. Our schedule will be the same, with 30 minute sessions and 15 minute breaks in-between.
END OF CLASS: At different times, different ones of our class will be leaving. Some later in the summer and some sooner. This next Wednesday, June 30th will be the last day of class this school year for three of our students. On Monday, June 28th at 4:00 we will have a celebration for these three combined with our parents’ meeting for this month. Please watch you email for the invitation to the 4:00 meeting!
SUMMER HEAT: Be sure to have the children drink extra water in this summer heat and don’t forget the sunscreen. It’s a good idea to apply sunscreen 30 minutes in advance of going into the sun to give it time to absorb and give the best protection.
Stay safe! – Teacher Laura

This summer we will say good-bye to many of our friends. Even though we will miss each other, we will always think of the happy times we had together and be thankful, and we will always wish more happy times for each other.
In this song, Teacher Laura tells you what she feels when she thinks of each one in this class. Here are the words if you want to sing along:
A SHINGING STAR https://vimeo.com/566752337
What a year we’ve had to work and play!
I’ve watched you grow and learn every day.
And now that we’ve come to the end of the year,
There’s something I want to say and I want you to hear.
You are magnificent! A Shining Star!
I’m proud of you! You’ve come so far!
I knew you were special right from the start,
And you’ll always, always, always have a place in my heart.
