Hello Families,
We are entering our last days of school. I wanted to thank you for having the opportunity to be your child's teacher. This week a few more things will come home. Over the past week your child's writing folder and monthly portraits came home. The kids really enjoyed looking at all of the writing they have done and how their work changed over the course of the year. The class had a visit from Mrs. Ballou, the children's librarian at The Whipple Free Library. She shared information about the Summer Reading program. This is a fun and incentive filled program, that offers many fun activities, but most importantly...lots of opportunity for READING. This could be a great way for your children to keep up the growth that they have made this year. I look forward to our last days. We will be enjoying our hike on Monday. We will also be finishing up a Social Studies project. We created our own National Holidays. The kids had some great ideas. National Candy Day, National Bring Your Pet to School Day, National Eat Ice Cream Day, etc. We will be reviewing information on the American Flag and then creating a flag to go with our specially created holiday. Have a wonderful and safe summer. We had a wonderful field trip. We used our experience and researched farm animals. We created a "Talking Research" report on farm animals. I will email your child's "Talking Research" home soon. Be on the look out!
Next week we will be reading about different traditions in our country. We continue to focus on the concept of continent, country, state, and town. This is a tricky concept for some. We have been working on adding two digit numbers by using our knowledge of place value. Some children are exploring regrouping ones and tens. We will continue with this next week as well as wrapping up our work in our second Math Journal. Your child's Writing Folder went home on Friday. Please cherish this folder. Your child has done some amazing writing. Next week we will celebrate all of the wonderful reading our school has done. We will also have Field Day on Thursday. On Friday, we will have our last Friday Forest School. For this one, we will be hiking on the Mill Pond Conservation trail. Be on the lookout for a permission slip on Monday. |
