Hello,
The students are constantly reminding me how many days are left in school. You would think they are excited for summer or something. Unfortunately this is also showing in many of their attitudes and behavior. We have had many discussions and reviews on grace and courtesy and will continue to do so as well as team building activities. We could also use your help. Please talk with your children about appropriate behavior and work ethics as we wrap up the school year.
Our last home project of the year is due this week or next. Please get them in as soon as possible so we can be sure everyone has a chance to present. If you need a reminder about what the home projects should be on, please see previous posts.
Next week, the week of May 14th, is spirit week. Monday the 14th is crazy sock day, Tuesday the 15th is crazy hair or hat day, Wednesday the 15th is pajama day, Thursday the 17th is future occupation day, and Friday the 18th is dress down day as this is also field day. Students are still expected to wear dress code that Monday and Tuesday and no screenprint characters on Friday. Remember, kids still need to dress appropriately, for example, no spaghetti string shirts or overly short shorts.
Some other dates to look forward to are Early Childhood Bridging for any parents with kindergarten students is on Monday, May 21 at 11 a.m. Lower el bridging for parents with 3rd grade students is Tuesday, May 22 at 10:30 a.m. Upper el bridging for parents with 6th grade students is Wednesday, May 23 at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday through Friday of that week will be half days and Friday, May 25 is the last day of school.
I want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone! All parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, siblings, and anyone else who helped in anyway with our field trips. Whether it was joining us on the field trip or dropping of and picking up before and after, we could not have had so many successful field trips this past year without ALL of you. I am so grateful for a wonderful class with amazing students and amazing support at home! I am truly sad that we will be losing some of our classmates at the end of the year to a higher grade or a new school, but I am also excited for the new experiences they will have in the future. We have a magnificent class and it is all because of you, your families, your children, Ms. Sara, Ms. AmyJo, and the wonderful support we have at school as well. Thank you everyone!!
On that note, please be sure to log any hours you have spent with us on the field trips into Track it Forward. You can also log time for transporting other students to and from. Don’t forget to log anytime you spent helping with parties or donating things for the parties.
Thank you all for everything!
