Friday Letter June 12, 2015 - Last one

Dear Parents:

Happy last Friday of the school year! Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time & money to help make this a successful school year! We do still need help packing up classrooms, so if you are available to help, please let me know.  Progress reports will be sent home electronically on June 18. If you'd like to purchase a yearbook, please fill out the slip that went home today &return it on Monday.

Here is a re-cap of our last full week:

Reading: Students have been adding examples of nonfiction text conventions to their nonfiction books.  After, students read their “just right” books. Next week, we will be cleaning out our reading bins.

Math: Students have been working on their doubles facts and playing fun games.

Writing:  I read the story, Good News Bad News.  Students had to create their own good news/bad news story using only pictures.  We will hopefully finish them on Monday.

Phonics: We have been playing -y (long I) Bingo this week.  Students were also introduced to how a -y can make a word have a long E sound.

Science:  We read a book about ants and made our own mini nonfiction book.

Next week, we will be finishing up projects, cleaning the classroom, and having fun with our friends.  I know there are some students who have accumulated a ton of clothes and objects in their lockers this year.  On Monday, please bring a large tote or bag so your child can clean out his/her locker.

Have a wonderful weekend and summer!

Andrea
