Butterfly Release

Today we released our last three butterflies and wished them well on their long journey to Mexico. Our friend, Maddison, was taking time this afternoon to catch, tag and release Monarch Butterflies at the Nature Center this afternoon. Good luck butterflies!

Traveling to the Hubbard Library - "What do you see?"

We saw a Peace monument at the Hubbard Library, along with a lot of road construction!

Updated Classroom Wish List

I have updated our classroom wish list. Please see the list on the right column on this blog.

Thank you so much for your generous donations of well-used and loved supplies!

All Snack Heroes & Heroines!

The healthy snack program at UES needs just a few more volunteers to keep it running smoothly. If you can help on Mondays or Fridays, please contact Richarda Ericson at 225-6210 or ricruffle@yahoo.com

UESPG - UES Parents Group

meets the second week of every month and is looking for your ideas, feedback, energy and interests to contribute to making our school community a vibrant social and learning experience for all. For more information contact Vivian Tomasi.

In the event of inclement weather for Kindergarten arrival, students will be escorted by a UES adult to the school Library for indoor recess until 8:20 a.m. At that time I will pick the class up to transition to our classroom to begin our day.

Our Quotable Selves

"Mrs. Wrigley the word chicken has an -en in it, the word hen has an -en in it and I thought all this time that the -en was an -in when I spelled chicken!!"

Screech never has to dress up special for Green Day - he's a green and white owl!!

"Mrs. Wrigley, I have something important to tell you. I saw someone very important at the soccer game. It was Dr. Ricca (MSD Superintendent), and he said he loves visiting our class and learning new stuff with us. I invited him to come back and have more fun!"

"I see many rocks on the ground. I wonder how they got there? Let's put them back on the butterfly garden wall so the plants and people are safe to explore here."

"You know, this weekend I painted Starry Night over and over, and for a long time just like Vincent Van Gogh did. He was so careful!"
