A Big Thank You & Last Day Fun!

Thank You!

I can't believe that today is the last day of school. The year has gone by so quickly. I have enjoyed working with your children each and every day this year! They have grown so much! I am inspired by their love of learning, wonder, and curiosity! May they always keep that passion and excitement to learn! It has been my privilege to be their teacher! They have brought me many smiles and happy memories over the course of the year! Thank you to all of you for making this year a wonderful year. I appreciate all of our parent volunteers, you made the year extra special! I wish all of you a happy, relaxing, and safe summer! Please stop by and say hello next year!

Field Day and Summer Notes

Field Day Fun

Field day was a huge success! The children enjoyed participating in all the field day games. Their favorite station was the Big Splash  (if you hit the target, it dumped a bucket of water, splashing water on a TEACHER!) Thank you to our two parent leaders, Mrs. Oversmith and Ms. Coleman. The children enjoyed moving around to all of the stations with you. Thank you also to ALL the parent volunteers who made field day possible. The children had a great time!

Enjoy!

Summer Learning Links

Summer Keyboarding Challenge - I will send home flyers in backpack mail tomorrow.

Summer Reading - Click here to view ideas for different summer reading opportunities.

Summer Packets - I will send home a few packets on the last day that the students can work on over the summer, a writing packet and a packet that contains math, grammar, and some additional writing activities. If the children finish either packet over the summer, I have encouraged them to bring it back to me at the start of the school year. They will earn a lunch with me as a reward for completing the packer. What a fun way to kick off the start to the school year!

Fact Practice - For those of you who asked for ways to practice gumball math over the summer, I can not send the exact sheets home but click on the above link to visit a site where you can print similar pages. I'm so proud of the students progress with gumball math this year! Keep it up over the summer!
