Last week, the St. Louis Public Library came to visit our school to talk about their summer reading program "Dream Big: Read."  This free program allows children to earn prizes for the number of books that they read.  This is a fun and easy way to keep reading in the spotlight during the summer.  For more information, stop by your local branch, or visit their "Dream Big: Read" program page at http://previous.slpl.org/kidzone/SRC/Kids/src2012kid.htm

The library also has fun (and free!) activities for families over the summer, like the "Big Science at the Library" event,  or "Creatures Stirring after Midnight"  with the St. Louis Zoo.

Musique? Mais Oui!
The Fête de la Musique is THIS Thursday, starting at 6:00 p.m.  Children (all but Kdg.) should meet directly in the gym.  Kindergarten classes meet in their classrooms.  This should be a fun, meaningful event, and I know the students are really excited to share their songs with you!


A Pet-sitter for the Summer
Madame Jennifer's class pets are looking for a family willing to show them some love over the summer.  They are easy to care for, and will provide hours of entertainment in exchange for your efforts.  Email jennifer@sllis.org if you are interested in more information. 


Open House
Thank you for all who visited our new school location over the weekend.  We are really excited for the new space at 19th and Olive.  Please email any additional questions/comments/concerns that you may have to conrad@sllis.org .

Under Three Flags

Thursday, our grade 2 students had a real treat... They got to meet an author who has written about St. Louis history... Maureen Hoessle, author of "Under Three Flags," answered our students' thoughtful questions about history and writing books.

I just learned from Madame Christa (our English Teacher) that discounted copies of "Under Three Flags" will be available from the author for $10 (list price: $14.95).  Please let us know if you are interested in purchasing a copy.

April 18 Field Trip to Mastodon State Park

Permission slips have been sent home for our April 18th field trip to Mastodon State Park. This trip enhances our new unit of inquiry. Please let your child's teacher know if you need another copy!
