Week 39

The Shakespeare play was a wonderful success! Given that we were still adjusting to the new venue, it was amazing how the kids just acted their roles brilliantly and improvised when things did not go the way we had rehearsed it. Bravo to our students for their amazing work and the families who support them!

This week will be the last full week of school and as the year winds down, you'll notice that there is less homework. There will be no reading response for next week, for example.  While the work load is decreasing, please check your child's book bag daily for supplies that are being sent back. Starting monday, we will begin bringing back unused supplies, then old work books, etc. In return, please check your homes for any classroom library books that need to be returned.

Here's what's happening next week:

  • Field Day will take place on Tuesday. Please make sure you follow the guidelines from the permission slip on what to bring. I also recommend that children do not bring anything they cannot bear to part with as property is often left unattended at the park. 
  • I will be out of the classroom on Wednesday for meetings. There will be a substitute teacher with the class.
  • The Staff versus Fifth Graders Kickball game will be on Thursday at 1:00pm. Snacks and refreshments will be sold. Please send your child to school with sunscreen or hat and a towel to sit on. 
  • We will visit the Community Garden on Friday for some harvesting. Please dress your child for working in the with clothing you don't mind getting dirty.
Have a lovely weekend!
