We still need someone to make us some yummy Jiffy muffins, though! Check the protopage under the MICHIGAN WEEK tab to see whats left to be donated.

WANTED: We are still collecting clean, used sports bottles (Gatorade/Powerade styles) for a craft we will be doing on the last day of school. Also, we will be having a brief parent meeting as we look ahead to plan our last-day camping events. Hope you can join us! If you cant attend in person, maybe you can join us virtually via Google Hangout or Face Time.

Keep your eyes on the dates above as we move through these last weeks of school. We will have quite a few events planned. The last day of school will be packed with fun: We will start the day off with a year-end award ceremony and youll want to make sure your camper has someone in attendance as this is when we celebrate all of the years achievements and efforts put toward setting and reaching goals. After that, we will launch into our class play, complete with lines for each child, costumes, and props! We will break for lunch and then head outside for our last-day festivities, including scavenger hunts, making bird-feeders, setting up tents, making smores, and more... This is a day youll want to share with your camper for sure!!

TABLE TALK: Ask your camper to tell you more about characteristics of animals and parents to their young. We went over this a lot this week to connect it to our trip to the farm.

Looking forward to the week ahead, Mrs. Cronce and Miss Brandimore www.protopage.com/mrscronce
