Summer Birthdays -I like to celebrate the summer birthdays on the last day of school. If your student has a birthday during the summer, feel free to bring in a treat to celebrate. It does not have to be sweets, it can be chips or something else. Please just make it easy to pass out to students. I’m sorry for the late notice, but I have bronchitis and have not been feeling well for the last 10 days or so, so I forgot.
Thank yous – I would like to thank all the parents that have helped our class this year. I would like to especially thank Celine’s mom for helping us every Friday with extra recess and Zahraa S. mom for helping every Friday with spelling tests and book bags. Zahraa’s mom also helped us the last couple of week to watch the students that are fasting. I really appreciate everything that the parents do for us. You guys are wonderful!
Last day – Today is our last day. It is a 1/2 day with dismissal at 11:45. Report cards will be passed out today. It is alsot the 5th grade graduation ceremony.
Typing – I challenged my class to learn how to type this summer. This is an important skill for 3rd/4th grade students to know coming into the school year. they have more expectations to be able to type several paragraphs. Typing is a key skill for being able to do this.
Summer Learning – don’t forget that students need to continue to use their brains all summer. Field trips to interesting places are wonderful for summer learning, the public library has many wonderful summer programs and we have sent several lists of online resources to continue learning all summer.
Have a wonderful, restful summer – I hope everyone enjoys their vacation time. Please keep in touch and share pictures. This has been a wonderful group! I will miss everyone!
