Summer Ideas

Have you heard of www.pinterest.com? If not, you need to check it out. Warning: hours upon hours may pass by without notice once you log on to this site!

I have been "pinning" lots of ideas for the classroom and thought I'd pass on one of these gems that I found.


Take a trip to the beach. I recommend Lincoln Park in West Seattle. (there's a really cool bakery called The Original Bakery very close to there that is a must go to on your way to the beach). Find some great rocks. Wash them. Buy rub on letters at Michaels and transfer to rocks.

Then, spell the summer away! :)

Have fun!

Tshirt signing

If you didn't get a chance to have your tshirt signed at the party, bring it in on Tuesday and we will be signing them again.
Thanks!

Jury Duty - Day One

Well, jury duty day one was completely uneventful. I sat in the room for 8 hours. I felt like I was on an airplane and was so disappointed that when I walked outside at the end of the day I wasn't in Hawaii. If I have to sit in one place that long, I want a nice tropical paradise to be on the other side of it.

In King County, your service lasts a minimum of two days so I will be back there again today (Thursday). The good news is, apparently jurors don't work on Friday so I will definately be back at school tomorrow for our big celebration. Hooray!

Kindergarten Party Invitation

Here are the details on the party on Friday in case you missed them!

KINDERGARTEN
END OF YEAR CELEBRATION
All Kindergarteners and their parents are

Note: Please send your child to school with an extra t-shirt labeled with
their name so that all of their friends can sign them.

Time: 2:15 to 3:15 Location: Central Park
THIS IS A SPECIAL DAY FOR THE KINDERGARTENERS
SO WE ASK THAT YOU DO NOT BRING SIBLINGS.

URGENT!

Urgent School News

The Issaquah Police has informed us that there is police activity in our neighborhood and that all children need to be accompanied home by an adult. There may be limited access to roads around Grand Ridge, therefore you may need to park and walk to pick up your child. If you are unable to get to the school, please call a person on your emergency contact list to take your child home.

If you arrive by car, please park and go to your child’s classroom to check them out.

Important: We have not been instructed to go into lockdown

Boxes Needed

Our teaching assignments have been decided for next year and I will be moving to Endeavour Elementary to teach full day kindergarten. I will still teach Grand Ridge students, it will just be at a different building.

I am in need of boxes for this move. If you are able to send in any boxes that I can use to move all of my classroom materials in, I would be forever grateful!

Thank you so much,
~Mrs. Perry

Got Science?

Got science? The proposed new elementary science materials are on public display through June 8 at the Administration Building. Because of unprecedented state budget cuts, a community coalition—including the Issaquah Schools Foundation, PTSA, and chambers of commerce—is raising funds to bridge the gap so that the curriculum can be fully implemented next fall for every kindergarten through fifth-grade student. With two weeks left in the campaign, the coalition is still about $187,000 short of its goal (a target of $50 per elementary student). Learn more about how you can help.
