End of the Year Update

Hello! I can't believe it is already the end of the school year. It has flown by so quickly! I just wanted to let you all know that the kids will be bringing home their assessments tomorrow. Report cards will be mailed out sometime next week, so you can expect that in the mail sometime soon. I am so proud of their progress- 35 out of 38 kids are reading at the goal level 3! That is AMAZING!! Keep practicing over the summer to make sure none of that new knowledge is lost.

I have so enjoyed getting to know each and every child this year. They are a fun group of kids, and we've had a blast learning and playing together! I will miss everyone so much and I wish them all luck in first grade. I know they will all do great!

Have a fantastic summer and I look forward to seeing you all around North next year!

Update for May 13

Hello and happy Friday! Well, we are almost done... only nine more days (not that I'm counting!). This week we had tons of fun at the zoo on Monday! Thank you to all of the parents who came along. We spent the rest of the week talking about animals and learning about wh- words. We also worked on skip counting by twos and fives. Next week we will be learning about th- and sh- words and talking about time.

Reminders:
-Field day is Wednesday! Please remember to have your child wear tennis shoes and comfortable clothes, as we will be outside most of the day. You may also send a water bottle with your child's name on it if you'd like. If you still want to help out, please contact Mr. Yoder.

-If your child would like to celebrate his or her summer birthday, please email me to set up a day to send in treats. We will be having a pizza party on the last day of school--Thanks to Rielyn Taylor's parents for donating from Paradise Pizza!

-I am extending the Scholastic deadline to this Sunday evening! There are tons of great books available for summer reading practice! Please order by then if you'd like to get any books. The class code is GMXHN.

Have a great weekend!
