This week is the last week I am assigning official work! If your child finishes everything, then they will not have any graded work the last week (6/8/20-6/11/20).

This week I will be in the building for a few days completing some teacher duties and cleaning/packing our room for the summer. Please keep this in mind if I do not answer in my normal timely fashion.

I had planned to stop by Friday, but I have to move it to Saturday. Nick’s work conference got cancelled for next week, so they moved it online for this Friday afternoon into the evening. Anyway, I plan to start heading to my first house about 2pm THIS Saturday 6/6/20. I will be bringing by a summer goodie bag I made. I know some of the kids may want to see me, so I will try to update which order I am going in, which is chosen based on location of all of the houses. I am using an app to help me map this out. If you have moved and your address is not updated with the school, please let me know so I do not go and leave the bag at the wrong house! I am not sure on exact times I will be at each house since I am traveling to 23 houses. It’ll take a few hours to get to them all!

Remember to check in with special areas. This week in Music is the Howard Masked Singer! I REALLY encourage you to watch and vote! Maybe you will even get to hear my TERRIBLE singing!
