Poems & Pancakes
After learning the poem “Mix a Pancake” by Christina Rossetti, Eliza's mom came in and made crepes with us. They were delicious! We learned that they’re called crepes in Europe and pancakes in America. Miss Rebecca and Christina are both from London.
Nature's Classroom
Do you have a current 3rd or 4th grader at home? Then please join us in the auditorium on Thursday, May 26 from 8-9AM for a parent/guardian information session regarding next year’s Upper Elementary Nature's Classroom Overnight Trip on September 21-23, 2016. A staff member from Nature’s Classroom will join us to inform you about the program and answer your questions. We hope you can join us!

Classroom Reveal Day
On Wednesday afternoon, after our students went home, we invited all of our incoming 3-year-olds to come and meet with their new teachers and to see the classrooms they will be in in September. The children, as well as the staff, had an amazing time! We enjoyed popsicles while wearing our new Tobin tee-shirts and making new friends! See you all in September!
2016 Montessori for Social Justice Conference
Attention, Tobin families, we need your help for the upcoming Montessori for Social Justice conference we are hosting!!!
Below are a couple of ways you can support this:
–Would you like to help out by hosting a conference participant? You can host attendees in your home! Here is an exciting way for local families and teachers to support the conference by hosting attendees June 23, 24 and 25th. Here is a sign-up form for anyone who is interested in hosting: https://goo.gl/44D3AO.
–We will also need parent volunteers to help with preparations, such as photocopying, stuffing folders, set-up and clean-up of meals, and compiling a list of local eateries and things-to-do. If you are interested in helping, please email Erin Gutierrez at [email protected].

Cafeteria Love
Head Chef Paul Oberhauser manually checks students in for breakfast before the computer is up and running Monday while daughter ClaraJane waits in the back of the line preparing her hug for Dad.
Taste Test
Thank you Tobin and Vassal Lane Upper Schools for a great taste test today with Haitian Poule en Sauce, a savory chicken dish served with rice. It was received with enthusiasm, and it will be placed on the regular lunch menu in the fall! Big thanks to the food service, cafeteria staff, and school nurse for the excellent teamwork! Our great volunteers worked hard dishing out the food and serving everyone, thanks to Rochelle, Corey, and Ashia. Thanks again to all as we introduce delicious traditional International Flavors!

All textiles, including clothing, single shoes, leather belts, purses, hats, linens, stuffed animals, and fabric scraps can go in the bin. You can even donate items that are torn, stained, broken or missing something. Just no dirty rags, nothing wet, nothing soiled, no carpets/rugs, and no mildewed items. Textiles in good condition are reused and damaged textiles are turned into wiping rags or processed back into fibers that are remanufactured into paper, yarn, insulation, carpet padding, sound proofing, etc. Learn more: smartasn.org/.
