Hello all of my students!

I hope you’re having a wonderful summer and enjoying these lazy days. I’ll bet many of you went swimming last week when the temperatures were in the 90’s. That was way too hot for me! So I am thankful for these cooler temperatures of this week.

I have been busy with home projects and doing lots of reading. How about you? Have you been keeping up with reading? Maybe RAZ Kids? Remember RAZ Kids and ZEARN are open all summer. Both companies have extended our subscriptions for the summer so take advantage of these opportunities.

I still keep up with my walking, usually early in the morning, because it’s cooler during those hours.

I think of you all every day. Here’s today’s thought…

“Never stop learning

because life

never stops teaching.”

I hope all of my families have a wonderful day celebrating our holiday. The 4th of July is also called “Independence Day.” Why is it called “independence Day?” From what country did we gain our “Independence?” Why did we want to separate from that country? Find that country on the map. What body of water would we cross to get to that country?

Parents,

Enjoy every moment together.

“A thousand moments

that I had taken for granted-

mostly because

I had assumed that there would be

a thousand more.”

-Morgan Matson

We had a wonderful day getting together at our picnic. We missed those that couldn’t attend but we understand previous plans are possible. Sorry we missed getting Aicha in this picture. She was there too, as was:

Sal, Ameer, Youssef, Fatima, Leya, Mariam Max, James, August, Juliana, Ali, Ike, Aicha

I also had a special surprise visit from a previous student and her family who now attend St. Pius….Nevaeh, Nick, and Mom! Thanks for the surprise!

Keep reading and stay up with the math. Both RAZ Kids and Zearn have given us free subscriptions for the remainder of the summer! So NO EXCUSE not to be reading and doing math! I will still be checking weekly to monitor progress. 🙂

Love you all,

Mrs. Smith
