Hopefully we all know about the potluck planned for tomorrow evening for our 2nd graders heading onto 3rd grade. Its all been coordinated by the 3-4-5 team (I hope this isn't catching anyone off guard) and will be a really insightful experience for our families who are looking forward to a leap for their child into an absolutely wonderful teaching team next school year. Below are the details as sent by Jenny.
2nd/3rd grade potluck: Our second annual 2nd/3rd grade potluck is just around the corner....Wednesday May 12th, 5:30-7:00 pm.
We are asking families to bring a dish to share by last name. Bring your own plates, utensils, and cups to serve your family.
A-G: Main Dishes
H-M: Side or Salad Dishes
N-R: Dessert
S-Z: Drinks
We need to ask a few folks to help with space layout and meal clean up (please email your student's advisor if you can come 20 - 30 minutes early and stay in the dinner room a few extra minutes before heading to the parent discussion.)
We will eat together in the multipurpose room and then gather parents for a discussion time while students participate in cooperative games and activities.
For the parent discussion, we are asking 3rd grade families to speak with your child before Wednesday about their successes this year.
* What has been the journey of your child and how have they found successes as 3rd graders?
* How is your involvement and communication with 345 advisors been the same or different than with the K12?
* What further questions might 2nd grade parents have about the transition?
While parents are meeting, students will partner in a scavenger hunt in the intermediate classrooms, do yoga exercises and games and then have a presentation by 3rd graders about what is means and looks like to be a part of the 345.

I will be in attendance for a portion of the gathering, but ultimately it is a time for families to integrate with future advisors. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
Best,
Whitney
