Class Update



Dear Parents and Caregivers,                                                                     

Welcome to the second to last week of school.

I will be finalizing report cards over the upcoming weekend and all remaining work is due this Friday. Some students have poetry packets, make-up tests, and service learning minutes that are still not turned in. Now is the time!


Our Memorial Day ceremony was beautiful on Thursday, and students did a great job speaking of and honoring passed veterans. 

We have had a great time reading and writing poetry together; the odes students wrote were so creative! Meanwhile, our final big, ELA project is to recite our memorized poems to the class on Wednesday the 27th. Have your student practice with you and give pointers on expression, volume, posture, and clarity of voice.

Our final social studies project is due this week on either the 28th or 29th depending on whether your student was invited to go on the reading rewards trip on the 29th.  Students were invited if they missed no more than one reading log per trimester.  Please check in that your student is making progress on the civilization project which was assigned at the very beginning of last week.

Finally, my math class will have a final assessment on Thursday.

I'm attaching the calendar for the last week of school again, just because it's so crazy!

Monday, June 1 - 8:25-2:45 Regular day
Tuesday, June 2 - 8:25-2:45 Awards Assembly in the morning, report cards go home. Graduation at 6:00 pm with dance following.
Wednesday, June 3 - 8th Grade Skip Day. 6th, 7th graders have minimum day and enjoy making and eating breakfast in Mrs. Spiers' class. School out at 12:45 pm.
Thursday, June 4 - LAST DAY OF SCHOOL! The bus will run one hour later, arriving to school at 9:00 am . We all load up and head off to enjoy a fun day at the lake. Return to school approximately 2:15 pm. Bus run at 2:45 pm. 

You are invited to join us at the lake, however, we ask that all students stay with their class until the end of the day at which time you may choose to stay with your student and enjoy the lakeindependently.

Thank you again!
