Week 40: Farewell!

Time flies when you're having fun! This has been a very speedy year and sadly it is coming to an end. I have loved working with this group and their families this year. Today, we looked at the letters the children wrote to me at the end of third grade and it is remarkable how much they have grown in this past year. This is an extraordinarily kind and smart class and I will miss them.

Here's what's happening this final week:
  • We have a modified field day on Monday. There were no permits available to make up the cancelled field day so all classes will go at different portions of the day. Third and Fourth graders will go to Prospect Park and enter through the 10th Ave entrance. We will stay near that area from 9:30 am to 1:00 pm. Please prepare your child just as you would for a regular field day. There was a note with further detail given to each child today. 
  • On Tuesday, we will have a end of the year celebration in the afternoon. Please provide your child with a beverage and a treat to be shared with the class. 
  • Wednesday will be the last day of school. It is a half day and students will be dismissed at 12 noon. Report cards will also be given out at the end of the morning. If your child is not able to attend school, you may pick up the report card from the office at 12 noon. 
Have a wonderful, cool weekend!
