Happy almost last blog of the school year. I thought this would be it, but I realized I will be taking and posting pictures during Minute to Win It and our End of the Year Field Trip to Thorpe Park. That will be the very last blog, therefore this is not the last one after all. Not a long week but I am still going to try to pack in as much as possible. For this week I am going to just break it down day by day for you.
- Monday: School Closed - Memorial Day
- Tuesday: The students will continue with Daily 5 so that we may finish our testing and that they may continue their reading. We will also begin our memory books. It will also be our final day of Art and Music and a special Fit Kids.
- Wednesday: Our big Minute To Win It morning. We do need volunteers for this morning! We ask that parents stay when the morning bell rings to help set up their station and then it runs until 11:00 (ish). We do a quick and easy tear down/clean up and we are out of the gym be 11:15 at the latest. If you can volunteer your time we would really appreciate it! We cannot make this work without 10 parent volunteers minimum for the duration. If you have the time Wednesday morning please sign up on the sign up attached. If you can only do part of the time please note on the sign up and maybe someone can pick up the other half of the shift. As long as a complete time slot is filled that will work. We are asking for volunteers from other classes as well, so this is a total of ten from all classes. Thank you in advance! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b0e4fa4a72ca0ff2-minute After all the fun and excitement we will work on our memory books a little more in the afternoon, before making sure the children have all their materials/notebooks and such to go home. This will also be our last day of Daily 5...reading until the end!
- Thursday: Last Day of School. We will celebrate our amazing year together with a trip to Thorpe Park. Please note that every child will need a sack lunch from home this day because we will not be getting lunches from the cafeteria. Also remember sunscreen and walking shoes. Permission slip goes home on Monday. Sign and return immediately please! Three important things to remember about the last day of school:
- Students may not bring a backpack to school on the last day of school.
- Report cards will go home with your child.
- Dismissal is at 12:25
Lost and Found: Check out lost and found for anything your child may be missing. Lunch boxes, jackets, stuffed animals, etc.... After dismissal on Thursday everything will be loaded and given to charity.
I want to end this blog by saying what an amazing group of students this has been. Every year is a unique bunch. This years group has been filled with so many fun personalities that have made me smile and laugh all year long. They are a group of brothers and sisters, and act like it in every sense of the word. They love each other and support each other and enjoy each other. They empathize with each other and argue with each other and have been quick to forgive each other. They have accepted each other and helped each other in many different ways. They have reminded me why I love to teach so many times this year, and I will treasure my time with your children always. Again, thank you for entrusting me with the care and education of your children this year. We have learned so much, and there has been so much growth in our soon to be second graders. I absolutely love this group of first graders! -Ms. Shaw
