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.
