End of the Year Information

As the end of the year is approaching quickly, you’ll see there are a multitude of events, activities, etc. that will all be taking place in these last 16 days! Please make sure you are reading the blog, notes home, AFP notes, etc. You won’t want to miss any of the fun that we are about to embark on! I’m going to list some of the important things to note. Please let me know if you have any questions and remind other 206 families to read the content so they don’t miss out either!

  • Not returning? – If you are not planning to return to EBS next year, please let myself and the office know right away.
  • Spirit Week – More details will come as this week approaches, but typically, the last full week of school will have a different spirit theme in which you can dress up and participate! This week is loved by all the kids!
  • Yearbooks – Purchase your child’s yearbook now! These are great mementos, but the students LOVE their yearbooks and will be given time to sign each other’s books in the last week. ($25 balfour.com)
  • School work – you will receive a compilation of your child’s work that has been collected throughout the year. I will keep some samples to pass on to next year’s teacher. This will be sent home along with any other materials that also belong with your child (crayons, pencil, pointer, etc). All of these will likely go home in a Trader Joe’s Paper bag for your child to carry out.
  • Report Cards – These are typically sent home the last day of school in an envelope in your child’s folder.
  • Art Portfolio – Each year your child’s Fine Art Portfolio has all the pieces your child has created this year (including the piece from the Spring Art Show). Your child will also be bringing these home soon.
  • Donuts with Daddies – Similarly to our Muffins with Mom we will be hosting a Donuts with Daddies day on Thursday, June 16, 2016 first thing in the morning so our daddies can all hopefully stay for a bit and go into work just after.
  • End of Year TK/K Party – Each year the TK and K classes unite to have a final bash to finish off the year. We have JW Tumbles come out to host a field/water event. More information will be coming out regarding costs, food sign-ups, attire, etc. Mark your calendars as this event will happen on Monday, June 20th and may require our day to extend by 30 minutes (for a 1:00pm release).

Incredible Insects

This week the students were able to participate in the San Diego Natural History Museum on-site field trip. We met in the say room with 5 docents from the museum. These kind faces spoke to us generally about insects and then the students split into 5 groups. Each group focused on different aspects of insects or different insect types. The students met in groups for 8-10 minutes and then rotated to the next group until they went through every group. There was a group on Bees & Ants (Social insects), Spiders (with a live tarantula), Butterflies, Bugs and Beetles, and Metamorphosis. Check out the pictures below to check out our day.

Character Education –

This week Laarnie Chou came in to teach the students about COOPERATION. She read them a book about cooperation and then let them participate in an activity that practiced cooperation. Each child was able to make their quilt piece. Then all the students brought their quilt pieces together to create a class quilt! This was a great reinforcement in understanding and practicing the concept of working together!
