CULMINATION/SHOWCASE NIGHT, Monday, June 5:00-6:00 for Kindergarten through Grade 4. This is the night where your children will show you their final projects and work so you can see how much they have grown this year. I have attached an invitation to the email accompanying the blog.

PICTURES THIS WEEK: There are more at the bottom of the blog!

1. Children should not have to sit at desks all day unless they want to. At Roycemore, students work on the floor, sometimes in beanbag chairs, on ball chairs, on stools that move, or finding their own way as this young man did.

2. Our excellent faculty mentors many student teachers from universities all over the Chicago area. Here one student teacher is teaching a lesson to the pre-kindergarten children.

3. It was a beautiful week and the early childhood students loved the sandbox and water table!

4. The 4th Grade made games based on their literacy knowledge of the hero's journey!
