Last Day :(

Just wanted to take a moment on my last day to say "thank you" to everyone for allowing me the opportunity to have your child in our class this year. I have truly enjoyed getting to know each and every one of them. Each one has brought with him or her such a unique personality and I can't imagine not haveing them in my life this year. :)

I am going to try to come for our end of the year party, but just in case that isn't possible, have a wonderful summer! And thank you to everyone that helped throughout the year with time and/or donations. You don't know how much we depend on our parents. :)

I will miss each and every one of your kiddos!!!!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Green

May 17 - 21

Only 3 weeks to go! Can't believe the end of the year is so close!!!

This week we will be covering the following topics in class:

Writing - Review/Year End Writing Piece
Science - Plants
Math - Fractions/Review/CBA
Spelling - (qu- words & compound words) queen, quill, quilt, butterfly, cupcake, football, they were, girl off

Also, just a reminder that our newly scheduled Field Day will be this Friday, May 21st. Hopefully the weather will be beautiful! :) Please remember to send your child to school with a sack lunch unless you contacted me previously to request that the cafeteria make a sack lunch for your child on field day. Also, don't forget to put sunscreen on your child and send them with 1-2 water bottles to keep them hydrated during their time outside. :)

And, lastly, this week is our last week of sending home books or homework!!!! So, don't be surprised if next week your child doesn't bring either of these items home. Please go ahead and be sure, though, your child reads at least 15 minutes a night because this is just such a great habit to develop! It will help him/her stay prepared for school when it starts up again in the fall. :)

Have a great week!
