WEEK OF MARCH 31 - APRIL 4, 2008

Hello,

Welcome back ! I hope you had a great week of family, fun, a chocolate bunny or two, and a break from homework.

In your envelope you'll find information about the end-of-the-year party at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk on June 5. I'm hoping you'll be able to join us for this fun day. If you or your student will need to purchase a wristband for our day at the Boardwalk, please return the form with your money by April 16. Checks need to be made out to Rio Del Mar Parent Alliance. Thanks so much! And remember, if your student has an ANNUAL PASS they DO NOT need to purchase a day pass. They just need to bring it with them on June 5. I'll be sending more information about this day as we get closer to going.

This week in Room 10:

1. We're back to our usual homework schedule for a five day week!! If the Sentinel gets delivered on Monday, we'll have News Teams this week.

2. Students have all the information for the next book report due on April 18.

3. On Monday, we're going to begin an illustrated children's book in social studies. There will be class time and their folder can go home nightly. This ABC BOOK is due on April 16.

4. The California Distinguished School Team is visiting our very distinguished school this Thursday.
