Last 3 weeks of school

Re: Fun Last Weeks of School

Date: June 6, 2013

Assalamu Alaikum Dear Parents:
            The school year is almost over, but the fun is never ending in our kindergarten classes.  We have a few activities planned for the next few days, so please stick this letter on your fridge to keep up with all that’s happening in our busy kindergarten classrooms!!
Monday June 10th: Funny Socks Day: The children can wear socks that they think are funny. Try bright colours, bold pictures or mismatching!
Wednesday June 12th: Bubble Day:  Please send a bubble bottle with your child to enjoy outdoors with bubbly fun J
Monday June 17th: Ice Cream Day:  We are looking for your generous help on this day in providing ice cream for the class. If you prefer to send money, that’s great too. (There is a form at the bottom of the letter.)
Wednesday June 19th: Silly Costume/Dress Up Day: send your child to school wearing his/her favourite dress up costume, funny hat or any silly attire.
Friday June 21st: Water Gun Day Please send a water gun with your child to enjoy a splash in the sun (a small towel and a spare outfit is a good idea to send with your child on this day).
Monday June 24th: Strawberry Picking and Water Park Field trip day (tentative): Your child will get to pick his/her own fresh strawberries from the strawberry farm and bring them home for strawberry smoothies, or a strawberry pie! We are planning to head to a water park afterwards insha’Allah.  Please provide your child with a swim suit, towel and an extra outfit.
That will be all for now, 

Tr. Hiat and Tr.Nermin
