A Few Peaceful Pictures before the Flurry of Activity Began...

So, before the wonderful, crazy, non-stop succession of  year-end events began we quietly celebrated Jackson's birthday.  Here he is participating in the traditional Montessori birthday ritual of "Walking Around the Sun".  After he traced our planet's elliptical orbit 6 times, he made a wish and blew out the candle.  Sometimes the child opts to carry a globe or a small model of the earth as they retrace their journey around our favorite class M star.

Wyatt created an amazing figure with the clay and toothpicks.  It resembled a ferris wheel  and had 21 faces.  At the beginning of the year I use this material to reinforce the structure of the Geometric Solids.  I've found it can also be useful in gainning a deeper understanding of the differences between 2-Dimensional and 3-Dimensional figures. So, quiet Wyatt "the enginneer" went from building "cubes", "square-based pyraminds", and  rectanglular prisims to this wonderful septagonal prism.  Way to go, Wyatt!

Reminder: For the Graduation Ceremony children are allowed to wear whatever they like (from fancy dress to jeans).  Since we will have a regular day including lunch/recess it is recommended that children arrive in uniform and change into optional attire just prior to ceremony.  We will begin the changing clothes and donning robes process around 1:15.  Parents may bring clothes at that time or simply send them with your child on Friday.

Hear Ye, Hear Ye all Awesome Wojcik Families,

  Bromley School Board Elections will be held THIS Thursday 5/3 and Friday 5/4 from 3:30pm to 8:00pm at the school.  We need almost 200 votes for the election to count; otherwise, the board will pick the candidates they want on the board. 

Please know that if you have 2 parents/guardians in your family, both people can vote and both votes WILL COUNT!  Spread the word.
