The End is Near...
Welcome back from a beautiful long Memorial Day weekend! It’s hard to believe that we only have two weeks left! Where did all of our time go? I don’t know about all of you, but I have had a wonderful year. What a fabulous group of children!
This Thursday is our annual field day. Just a reminder to check the weather and make sure your child is dressed appropriately. We will be outside, running, jumping, skipping, and hopping all day!
June 2nd will be our end of the year celebration. We will have a pizza lunch for the kids here at school, so you don’t need to worry about lunch for your child that day. We will then walk downtown Rockford at 2 and on the way back around 3, we will stop at Rocky’s for a little ice cream treat. A huge thanks to Rocky’s for providing our class with ice cream, what wonderful people!
On June 3rd the children will be having a banana split party to celebrate learning their multiplication facts. For every number they passed they will get something for their banana split. They have all been working so hard to pass all of their facts. This year EVERYONE passed, way to go!
Our party will be at 2:30 on June 3rd. Feel free to stop in and help us celebrate!
Language Arts: The children are finishing up a great year in their writing workshop notebooks. It’s amazing to see the changes in their writing. I love their word choice and how they are using more variety with their vocabulary. I hope that you all had a chance to see your child’s progress in reading. I attached a report to their weekly reports on Thursday last week. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Math: We have finished our end of the year assessments and are currently on unit 11. What hard workers!
Science: We continued working in our weather unit. We have learned about different types of clouds, the three states of matter, severe weather, and different climates.
Spelling: We have completed all of the units in our spelling program and now are practicing for our spelling bee. We will review and have a the spelling bee in our room the last Thursday of school. I’m hoping to start at about 10:30 a.m.

Happy Mother's Day!
I hope that all of the moms enjoy a wonderful Mother's Day this Sunday. I appreciate everything that you do!
We are looking forward to so many things this month. We have Camp Science next Thursday. This is a great opportunity for the 5th graders to teach the younger kids. They always do a fabulous job and I know the children are very excited.
We also have field day coming up on Thursday, May 28th. Thank you so much if you volunteered to help Ms. Zappone. I know she truly appreciates your help. She spends so much time and effort creating an awesome field day for the kids, I’m sure they’ll have a great time!
Language Arts: The children have done a fabulous job in the writers notebooks. We have been creating story mountains to help organize our writing and visually show the climax of our stories. We are also close to finishing our current read aloud book “Traders in Time”. It is most defenitly a nail biter and the kids are doing a phenomenal job connecting it to our Michigan unit in social studies.
Math: The children are doing very well on their timed tests. Every single student has passed through multiplication 12’s. Congratulations! To celebrate, we will have a banana split party. It will be the last week of school, so look for a note to be coming home about it soon!
Science: We only have 4 weeks left, but there is still so much to learn! We have just started our weather unit. We had fun checking the weather on msn.com, discussing severe weather and listening to Joe Kopecek from channel 13.
Social Studies: We continue to learn about Michigan and it’s rich history. We just finished discussing WWII and how the auto industry helped build tanks, bomber planes, and trucks. We also learned how many men left to go to the Army and women started working more here at home.
Spelling: We just finished unit 29 today and only have 3 more units to go. After we finish we review and have a little spelling bee in our room the last week of school.

24 minute relay
Wow, we had a great time at the 24 minute relay! We enjoyed walking, running, dancing, and listening to Sam Corey's band. We were so impressed with the outstanding organization of Mrs. Nelson and Mrs. Reinert. Thanks for a great day!
