It's that time of the year! The time of the year when we are all getting antsy, we are wrapping things up, making sure we have final assessments done, that we have finished all of our projects, and that we have no loose ends to be left. It's a very bittersweet time of year: we're excited for three months off, but we're sad to be leaving each other. I have enjoyed having each of your students this year, and am very glad that I get the chance to have them again next year in social studies!
I have a few housekeeping items for the upcoming week:
- Blue folders are going home today for the FINAL TIME. They do not need to come back signed. I will have a few items that will be going home next week, but those will go home in the green folder.
- Green folder still need to be coming back to school each day, signed. Your student's reading calendar is due on Thursday, May 31st. Friday can be a hectic day, and there's a good chance things won't be able to be turned in that day. I do expect everyone to continue to read each night up until that Thursday, though. I sincerely hope that his has become a habit that will continue through the summer. It's such a good habit to have!
- If anyone has paper bags they could donate, that would be great. Living alone, I don't accumulate many paper grocery bags, but they are very handy to send home with the students the last week of school. I will most likely be sending extra stuff home each day next week so as not to overburden them on Thursday. Having paper bags on hand will be great for the big items.
- Tuesday afternoon is Field Day. Please send your child with a water bottle, either empty or one that we can fill. It will be a hot afternoon! Sunscreen would also be beneficial.
-Wednesday is our field trip day, unless we are rained out. We are going to the NEW Zoo! Your child will need a disposable lunch, as we are not going to carry around containers and lunch boxes all afternoon, and we don't want to lose things. Please pack a healthy lunch that is easy for travel, such as a sandwich. Forks and spoons are fine, as long as they are disposable. It may be easier to stick with finger food, though.
Thank you, and enjoy your Memorial Day Weekend!
