Weekly update for.... THE FINAL WEEK!

·      The kids have LOVED their “Boy Who Cried Wolf” play! Thank you volunteers for taking the time and energy to make this a really fun and interactive way to end the year! We will be performing in class tomorrow afternoon.

·      Just a reminder Monday and Tuesday next week are full school days, Wed-Fri are half days.

·      Spelling Bee! Next Friday, the last day, we will be doing a class spelling bee, covering all spelling words from the year. Spelling homework will consist of writing words they might need a little extra help with, word choices are all theirs!

·      World Travels: We are partnering up with the kinder classes and all sections will be traveling the world on Wednesday. Each class will represent a different continent; each section will stamp passports and provide a reading and craft/snack. I look forward to the travels!

·      Mrs. Smith and myself are soaking up every minute with our sweet kids; we are sure going to miss them. This school year has been jam packed with learning and FUN!

·      Please check your emails for a parent survey. You will be completing a teacher survey, I appreciate all comments and constructive criticism to better my methods each and every year. If for any reason you did not receive a survey you can contact the office  or email Mr. Gillingham directly with comments. :]

·      I would like to inform all families that we will be hosting a “Farewell to First Grade Fondue” party! This will take place on the last day of school. Please send in something sweet to dip into our chocolate fondue pots!
