Last Week of School 2020

Happy Sunday. It is so surreal to sit here and write what is probably the second to last blog of the school year. Again, I find myself fighting back tears thinking about what we would have been doing if this had been a normal last week of school, but if things had been normal this would have been the second to last week of school. Anyway, here is an update on what is happening as we close out this school year...

Student Belongings: I went in last week and packed up everything in the students cubbies. All of this years items will passed along to next years teacher. Thankfully there was no personal items left behind in our classroom - yay! If you will be moving and will need to pick up your child's bag of stuff before next school year please contact me via email (ashaw@fusd1.org) by Wednesday, May 20 so that we can make arrangement on Friday, May 22 for you to come pick up. We are working on what to do about getting back our library books, so hold on to those for now, we will let you know.

Last Week of School Check In's:  The sign up for our final check in's is ready. Here is the link Check In Sign Up.  We will have a special guest joining us, and per student request you may bring your pet to share with us. My dog will make an appearance if she will cooperate.

Report Cards:  I will be finalizing report cards this week. Please, if we have not been in contact yet, email me (or better yet sign up for a check in) so I can know what your child has been busy doing at home. If you have been reading books, they have been continuing their education. If you have watched nature documentaries, they have been continuing their education. They do not need to have been doing all the work off the HUB for me to feel like you have been working on continuing your child's education at home, this is not one size fits all. I still encourage each family to do what works best for them at this time. I just need to know for the sake of report card comments the district is requiring of me at this time. If you have already shared this information with me, you do not need to email me. Thank you.

Extra hugs to our kiddos for me this week. I cannot believe this is the end of our too short year together. The end of the year is always hard, but man this is a whole other level with not getting to see my babies in person. I began this blog with tears, and I'm ending it the same, so I'm leaving it here. I will continue with more updates as they come in. -Ms. Shaw
