Dear Parents,
A few updates about upcoming events:
Tomorrow is the Spring Reading at Rice University. I am a part of the School Writing Project and therefore get the opportunity to ask students to come and read their writing at the Spring Reading at Rice. Other students from Twain and another HISD school will be there as well. Some students are reading individual pieces and the entire class is invited to come to perform the class poem. The reading begins at 4:30. Students may arrive between 4:00 and 4:30 to enjoy pizza, sweet treats, and drinks. All parents and other guests may attend. I will be at Rice University at 4:00 and will show students where our class will sit. Students are asked to dress nicely, but it does not have to be formal dress. Please bring your cameras! This is a wonderful opportunity for the students to show off!
Friday we will be going to Galveston for the Artist’s Boat field trip. I have never attended this field trip before, but from what I hear the students may get wet, so I would recommend that students dress in shorts and sandals (not flip flops) of some sort (to prevent wet socks). We will be riding in standard school buses, and therefore there is no room for parents on the bus. However, parents may attend the field trip free of charge and all are welcome! Students will again need to bring a sack lunch and some kind of refillable bottle. Sunscreen and hats are also recommended.
Our awards ceremony is Monday at 1:45.
Wednesday we will have our end of the year party from lunch on. You can send pizza money to me and I will pass it along. Please let me know if for any reason your child will not be at school on Thursday, May 27th. There are several materials I typically hand out on the last day and if I know they will not be there I will give them as much of that as I can on Wednesday.
Please feel free to e-mail me with any questions or concerns. I have REALLY enjoyed my class this year and appreciate all of the support I have gotten from all of you all!! Thank you for a wonderful year!
Sincerely,
Rebecca Zirczy
