Thank you so much for the teacher appreciation gifts. Your thoughtfulness meant a lot to Mrs. Marshall and me.
I hope all the Oceanarium Moms had a wonderful, relaxing Mother’s Day and received your special gift from your child! Happy Mother’s Day! 
Thursday the class celebrated Cinco de Mayo. Everyone enjoyed chile con queso on festive chili plates and napkins, as well as apple juice.
Friday was Mrs. Marshall’s birthday. The students helped her celebrate with a Rock-n-Roll party. Everyone received colorful sunglasses and a blow up guitar. Students also enjoyed ice cream and juice. Coach Erin was in town, and she came in to help celebrate Mrs. Marshall’s Birthday. The students loved the dancing.
