Kite Day and Family Science Night

Our attention has turned towards finishing Portfolio reflections and preparing for all the upcoming events. The following information will help you prepare for the next week.  I will be sending home a sign-up sheet on Friday asking for volunteers.

Kite Day - We would love to have some parents help out with this event. With each student flying a kite, there will certainly be some strings to untie and some last-minute repairs. If you are available from 9:45 to 11:20 am on Thursday, May 1, and are interested in joining our class "kite pit-crew," please sign up.

Family Science Night - We're very excited with all the "yes" RSVPs for the Family Science Night on Thursday, May 1. Once again, we're in need of some volunteers:
         - one strong person to help unload supplies and set up at 4:30 and help break down at 8:00 (until 8:30).
         - three adults to man or woman the stations during the science fair. Volunteers should arrive at 5:15 for an explanation from the Bishop Museum staff and then plan to be at the stations from 6:00 to 8:00.  You will be helping the children and their parents do experiments and learn new things. What fun! We will make sure that the volunteers have time to eat dinner.

Potluck--Our Room Parent and I decided to just let everyone bring their choice of item to share at the potluck. We will have fourteen children and twenty-four parents attending. We are asking each family to also bring their own favorite drinks. I will ask for volunteers to sign up to bring paper plates and chopsticks.

It has been a busy, exciting week.  The children continue to enjoy their science experiments and had so much fun playing tunes on their straw "oboes" and musical bottles.  Be sure to talk with them about what they are learning!
