***MOOSE INTERVIEW OF THE WEEK***

Lila from 3rd Grade!

LGH

JCB:  What is your favorite thing to do at school?
LG-H:  Well, I’m not very sure.  I love science.  We’re studying plants or invertebrates.  I’m not sure.

JCB:  What is your favorite food?
LG-H:  Um, I don’t know….

JCB:  If you could have anything for lunch today what it would be?
LG-H:  Probably spring rolls with shrimp and mint leaves wrapped around it.

JCB:  What is your favorite thing to do outside of school?
LG-H:  Guinea pig – I watch her eat carrots.  It’s very cute.

JCB:  If you could be any animal what animal would you be and why?
LG-H:  Well, is it possible that I could “interfere” different animals with different animals?

JCB:  Yes
LG-H:  Moose plus hawk plus guinea pig plus flying fish plus cheetah.

JCB:  I would love see what that animal looks like.  What would that be called?
LG-H:  Well, basically an M plus an H plus a G plus a P plus an F plus a CH.  I have no idea what that spells.

JCB:  MHGPFCH?
LG-H laughs.

JCB:  What are you looking forward to this summer?
LG-H:  Ooh, I have 4 days of camping on Cape Cod!

JCB:  What are you looking forward to in 4th grade?
LG-H:  Big kid lunch.  Big lunch recess.

***PTO NEWS***

Moose are on the loose! Be on the lookout for “mooseing” in yards on your street!

If you are lucky enough to be moosed (hopefully we will get to about 30 houses this May),  look for a white envelope with a moose on it; we try to put it in an obvious spot! It has instructions on how to name the next family to be “moosed,” how to leave an optional “removal fee” for the PTO and when the moose will be picked up.

Many thanks for playing along SES!

***MOOSE ON THE MOVE NEWS*** 

Thanks to all of the classrooms who helped tidy up the track last Friday.  Many hands make light work and our track looks much better with the gravel back in place.  It was heartwarming to see all of the busy children working together towards a common goal. Thank you!

Altogether we have walked/run 1,324 miles this year!!  That is amazing!!  Nurse Katie has moved the string on our map in the front hallway all the way to Orlando, Florida!!

In May, the Moose on the Move Club will gather at 3 different meeting times.  We are meeting Monday mornings from 8:00-8:30am on the track, Tuesday afternoons from 3:10-4:00pm on the track, and Friday mornings from 8:00-8:30am meeting at the Town Common and walking to school.  Join us if you can! 

At the next assembly (Friday, May 18) the following children will be recognized for meeting these personal milestones:

It's ironic, isn't it?

Before we have kids, none of us really think about the nuts and bolts of effective parenting.

And after we have kids, who has the time?

So invariably, most of us end up doing the hardest job in the world - raising human beings - with little or no prior training, some hearsay knowledge and a lot of 'gut feeling'!

Can you imagine a doctor or a plumber doing their job this way?

What if there was a better way? What if some of the top experts (who are also parents, and authors of popular books for parents) came to you, at your convenience and shared their best tips?

Hard as it is to believe, that's exactly what is happening here. Between May 1st - 10th, 20 expert book authors with years of research, clinical and personal experience are coming together to help you tune up your parenting skills.

And the best part? It's 100% FREE, 100% online and flexible enough to fit into any schedule, anywhere!

Are you in?
