May 23rd Newsletter

May 23, 2011

Dear Parents,

It seems impossible that this is the last week of school. This year sure has flown by . The students are amazing.. Along with their progress report will be two end-of-year tests, one for math and one for language arts. This is to let us know what they have learned this year. The students have learned amazing things. They are well prepared for third grade. I hate to send them on though. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Newsletter: This will be the last newsletter of the year.

Spelling: There will be no more spelling words.

Homework: There will be no more math homework on Wednesdays. However, continue having your child read each night for the rest of the school year and throughout the summer. Reading each day will make sure your child won’t regress in their reading ability.

Library: Just a reminder that all library books should have been returned last week. Also, take home library books should have been returned.

Field Day: Field day will be on Monday May 23rd. Please have your child wear sunscreen. They may also wear a hat. We will be outside for most of the day. If it is bad weather, we will rotate around in the classrooms inside the school.

2nd Grade Program: The second grades will be presenting a program on Wednesday May 25th in the school gym at 12:45 p.m. It will last around 45 minutes. Please come to the classroom after the program and pick up your child’s portfolio.

Last Day of School: Friday May 27th is the last day of school. School will be dismissed at 2:30 p.m.

Field Trips: Weather permitting, we will have 2 walking field trips this week. One tomorrow to SUU to meet with our pen pals and the other one on Friday morning. This last one is a surprise field trip for the students. Hopefully the weather will cooperate.

Thanks once again for all that you’ve done to help make our class so wonderful! I have greatly appreciated your support and help to make this a year to remember.

HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!

Sincerely,

Brenda Haight
