Week 5 is here!

Did you guys know that Ketcup used to be sold a medicine in the 1830's? crazy.
 Another week is upon us, and we're ready. We're going to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens on Tuesday and the Bronx Zoo on Thursday! But the most exciting thing happening this week is our TALENT SHOW!! This Friday,August 5, at 4pm, no later!

 Yes,the rumors are true we are having a talent show this summer and it will be glorious! Now, I'm not one to toot her own horn or anything, but I know that our kids are bright,talented, and gifted, and it will be quite a show. I already know that some of you can't make it, but no worries! We're planning to video tape the whole thing, and hopefully put it on the blog.
 A side note, I have a brand new Mac computer, so I've been messing around with iMovie.....so, I hope to wow you guys with my new knowledge of the program!
 The kids having soccer tomorrow are the Wild Tigers and the Wrecks, please bring sneakers and hopefully shin guards for that class. Always remember swim caps and water bottles.

 Thank you so much for everything and I can't wait to see you tomorrow!

Rain Rain go away!

Oh no the rain has come! There's supposed to be a huuuuge rainstorm this afternoon right around the time we're supposed to be at Governor's Island! We just can't go today! It wouldn't be safe to take the kids out in a t-storm, so I won't do it. Since it won't rain until this afternoon, we've decided to head out to the Natural History Museum first thing this morning. In the afternoon, each group is practicing for the Talent Show next week and hopefully a good ol fashioned game of kickball before it rains.
 Talent Show? Next Friday!!!At 4pm!!! At P.S.183! Please come, the kids have worked hard? Can't make it? we're videotaping it!
 Again, I apologize for no Governor's Island Trip, but I don't want any of our kids to get caught in the rain!

Rain?

Oh no! RAIN! Updates will follow shortly.....

Reminder!

Tomorrow is our trip to Governors Island! So we're not waiting past 9:30. Please drop off your child before 9:30!!!

Yellow Brick Road!

I'm so excited about today's trip! We're going to see the Yellow Brick Road in Chelsea and we're going to have a great time. Since our trip isn't until 1pm, we probably won't get back to Ella Baker until about 3:30 or 4. With that being said, you won't find us inside the school this afternoon. I believe the weather will be nice so we'll most likely be in the space between the school and the yard, if it's too hot we'll head down to P.S.183. There will be a staff member in front of the school directing parents if this happens.
 Any questions? Want to pick up early and need your child to stay back? Please call and let me know!!
(540)336-0684
 Hope to speak to you soon!

This afternoon...

Just a little note,  it shouldn't be super hot today, hooooray! So from 4-5pm we will most likely be in the alley way between Ella Baker and the yard.I prefer to use that space if it's not too hot and not rainy because it's close to the school and the library......Thank you for keeping up with us and we'll see you soon!

Movin right along....

What a great trip! We got to go to different parts of the museum and learn and discuss pieces of art with the guides and talk about the stories behind it. The kids were also asked to draw what they saw (haha that rhymes) and tell the whole class why they choose to draw it. I was so proud of their behavior at the museum. If you haven't gone to the MET with your kids yet, you should!!
 I was on the subway yesterday and I saw a camp get on the train. These kids were cute but rambunctious!They were swinging on the poles,jumping up and down, and when they got off the train the counselors were yelling at the kids. I knew at that moment that we have something special going on here. We never have to raise our voices on the subway and our kids are always well behaved. The other camp will figure it out, everyone does, but I'm so glad that our kids are awesome.
 Thank you for understanding and having fun with us!

 Tomorrow is swim, so don't forget your caps!The mini Giants have soccer tomorrow so bring some guards and sneakers. We also have Kung Fu tomorrow so when you pick up your child, ask them about it! Maurice is the teacher and he is awesome!
