IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

Last week, one of our classmates moved to Michigan.  On Friday, Sophia had her last day in our classroom.  While we all already miss her, we did something very exciting for her today!  Over the past few weeks we have been studying types of letters.  The past few days, we talked about writing friendly letters.  The kids wrote letters to our friend Sophia!  This afternoon, we walked to the mailbox and dropped in our letters to be mailed to Sophia!  I hope she is as excited to receive the mail as we were to write it!

Tyler and CJ are working together to send their letter to Sophia!

Olivia is sending her letter to Sophia!

BreAnna is sending her letter to Sophia!

J'Nayla is sending her letter to Sophia!

The Carnival is this Friday, May 18th from 6-8pm!  Join us for games, silent auction, music, and food (including pizza, popcorn, and snacks)!

Tomorrow we will be sending home invitations and six tickets for you to use at the carnival.

Hope to see you all there for a night of fun with your family and friends!

Selah and Tylisha were working together to measure basil.

Now that are garden is growing, we are taking advantage of the math opportunities around us daily!  Today we went outside to measure a few different plants that have been growing in our garden.  In small groups, the kids measured basil, broccoli, peppers, and rosemary.  Over the next few weeks we are going to be tracking their growth and recording the information in a class graph!  After today, a few kids are already looking forward to when we go and measure again next week.  🙂

Its hard to believe, but summer will be here in only four weeks! With six weeks of summer vacation, we would love to visit our girls every day, but us teachers are going to need some help! 

Would your family be interested in helping maintain our garden and chickens for a week over the summer? Send Mrs. Argus an email at argusm@ips.k12.in.us and let her know! You are welcome to sign up with other families as well and share the responsibilities, or sign up for a whole week yourself. Chicken and garden stewardship is super fun and when maintained properly, should be very easy. Plus, you get free eggs and veggies- YUM!

Just a reminder:  our school carnival is this Friday, May 18th! It is from 6-8.  The kids are really excited about it!  We hope to see you all there!
