Thanks for a Great Year | Friday Dismissal at 10:50 AM

Students relaxed after completing their tie-dye shirts today.

It's been a great year, thanks for all your help and support.

Blue and Clear Book Bags
Get those book bags in so I can use the home reading books again next year.  I will reach out to you on Tuesday if they haven't yet come in.

Portfolio of Work
Look for a folder of student work, including work from both our Expos, to come home with students on Thursday.

No Backpacks or Lunchboxes This Friday
Students are not to bring anything to school on Friday.  This is a school-wide request, no backpacks, no lunchboxes.  I will provide a morning snack.

Friday Dismissal at 10:50 AM
This Friday, 6/16/17, students will be dismissed at 10:50 AM.  They will take their report cards home then as well.

Curriculum Overview
Science - We are studying what living things (plants and animals) need to survive.  Last week we created animal cards and this week we are sorting them by domestic vs. wild as well as learning about classifications like mammals, birds, amphibians, etc.

Math - This week I will work with different math groups to cover topics where students still could use additional support and instruction.

Literacy - We are reading books that help us understand how maps represent different locations.  The book we are reading right now focuses on the great lakes and surrounding region.

Writing - As a final assessment students are writing about a special memory they have of doing something with their family.

We had a tie dye party today in honor of our fundraising for the Color Fun Run.  After binding their shirts students chose different color dyes.
