Closer than ever to 1st and 2nd grade!!

Hello parent partners -

I can hardly believe it is the last week of school! In room 128, we have been busy bees - preparing for the end of the school year and, especially, our Author's Tea.  Here are some last notes/reminders for the end of the school year...

 
Field Day is this Friday, June 11! 

We will be having fun at field day this coming Friday morning.  Please remember to send a water bottle to school with your little one, if possible.  Also, it would be great for the kids to come prepared to school with sunscreened skin, sneakered feet and comfy clothes for moving.  To celebrate school spirit on Friday, room 128 will be decked out in our identifiable green shirts.

 
Our Author's Tea is Monday, June 14 at 1:00 p.m.!

Our very special writer's celebration will be on this coming Monday from 1-2 p.m.  Families as well as siblings are welcome.  Refreshments will be served and the kids will be host to you! We are so excited about all the fantastic writing and illustrating happening in our classroom and can't wait to share it with you!! Please RSVP with regrets only if you cannot make it so that we can assure everyone has someone with whom to share their hard work!

Last day of School: Tuesday, June 15th!

The last day of school will be a time for us to reflect as a class on the time that we have had together and what we all have to look forward to.  There will be, of course, the year end assembly in the morning and "clap out" at the end of the day to congratulate our little ones on making it to 1st and 2nd grade. 

 
As for this last week, we are busy wrapping up writing, finishing books and enjoying the fruits of our labor - literally! We will have one more visit to clean up the garden.  Our hope is to have a salad celebration in class on the last day (depending on what is available from our garden!)  Please keep in mind that you are welcome to maintain/enjoy the garden even during the summer. 

We have enough handled paper bags - thanks to all of you who sent them in! All items kept by the children from the school year will be sent home in these on the last day of school.

One last big thank you to all of you that have helped out in the classroom and supported your child's learning from home!! We could not have done it without you. We hope you have the best of summers!
