Week of 6/12/15

We are in the home stretch!  I can't believe how soon school will been ending for our year!  I am so impressed with how far the students have come and I can see where they are headed!

Important things to know…

• Monday is our celebration!  Please join us to see your child's work from the year and a few presentations.  Please wait by the auditorium and at 8:45, we'll come down and get you when we're ready to go!  :)
• Tuesday is Color Day.  Your child brought home a sheet yesterday regarding their color and other hints for Color Day. (The rain date is the Thursday.)
• Step Up is Friday, the 19th.  Our 2nd grade classes will be meeting with the 3rd grade teachers to hear about next year and see the teachers face to face.  They can ask questions and get a sense for  what's to come.  Talk to your child about it…they may be excited, nervous, or have questions.  I can't wait to hear what they think!
• The last day of school is Wednesday, the 24th, with dismissal at 12:00.  

We've been working on many things to get ready for our celebration, finishing up our opinion writing unit, continue working on our poetry reading unit, learning more about Ghana, and then later next week we'll be doing some fun writing for poetry, end of year activities in reading and writing, and more!  

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
