Welcome to our last full week of school before a day and a half next week left until summer vacation. I thank you all for your partnership in educating your children - and what a fantastic class this has been to teach. They have grown in so many ways - academically, socially, emotionally, as well as physically. I am so proud of them.
This week we are finishing off the last social studies and math units, as well as publishing some stories, reviewing math, writing reflections, and sharing facts about what we learned about penguins. We are also doing some fun Readers' Theater and writing letters to the new second graders coming up.
May 30 is the last day of school and a noon dismissal. On this day, we will play some games, and after PE, will have a special ice-cream treat (thanks to our room parents).
I want to thank Molly C. and Julie P.. for the great job they have done being our Room Parents this year. You made my job easier and thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Next Tuesday, I will be sending home a Summer Packet, full of some ideas for review over the summer. Please practice the math facts (for all operations), the partial-sums addition and trade-first subtraction methods in math, and give your children plenty opportunities to read and write.
There is no more homework or spelling words for the school year, but please continue to encourage your children to read.
This is our last week of Current Events with Emma and Caden sharing on Tuesday, Zara and Cian on Wednesday, Luke and Lizzie on Thursday and Genesis and Maverick on Friday.
Parent Reader for Friday is D. Crupi. Thanks to all the parents who came in to read this year. We appreciate the time you made for us. You being there made a huge impact of the students.
Warm wishes and a happy week to you all -
Ms. O'Mullane
