We will still be reading in school, but books need to be collected and organized. We will also be taking home all of our items in our seat sacks and from our Leadership Binders on Thursday.

**Locker clean out will be this week- I will let you know on the exact date.

Last Day- Our last day is a half of day on Friday. I will have a little celebration towards the end of the day where we read a story, look at some pictures, accept awards, etc. Parents are more than welcome to attend! Kindergarten doesn’t have a graduation, so this is just a little way to celebrate! We will start out celebration around 10:30- thank you!!

This Thursday will be our last spelling test! Assessments are still happening, but reading groups should be a little bit more normal this week! I am asking that all reading bags and books to be returned to school this Friday.

Students will be coming home with these on Friday to continue the process! (I don’t want them to sit over the few days off without being watered) In social studies, we are focusing on a classroom issue and creating a poster to display ways we can solve it.
