It's hard to believe there are less than four weeks of school left in the 17-18 school year! Each year seems to fly by quicker than the previous. I neglected to send out my weekly blog last week so I apologize. Two weeks ago, five of our classrooms were able to go to the Special Olympics in North Syracuse and cheer on their classmates. Here are just a few pictures from the day:
We also held our 4th and 5th grade spring concert that week, first at an afternoon assembly and then in the evening at the high school. It was widely agreed that this was one of East Hill's best-sounding concerts yet!
Last Monday night we held the second of two Kindergarten Readiness nights. Our incoming kindergartners rotated to three different classrooms to try out several different activities while their parents listened to presentations by East Hill staff members. It was something new we tried this year and it seemed to be very well received!
We intend to finish strong instructionally at East Hill and also have a lot of activities to fill these last few weeks. Here are just a few that you will want to take note of:
Thursday, 5/31: Second and Fifth Grade Field Trips
Friday, 6/1: Fifth Grade Field Test, PM
Monday, 6/4: Fourth Grade Science Assessment
Wednesday, 6/6: Third Grade Field Trip
Thursday, 6/7: Lemonade Serenade Volunteer Reception, followed by the June PTA Meeting
Monday, 6/11: Kindergarten Field Trip, 5th Grade Final Battle (of the Books!)
Tuesday, 6/12: Field Days (Rain Date 6/13)
Thursday, 6/14: Flag Day Assembly

Have a great week!
