Last week was our final set of spelling words and also our last Homework Log! Math worksheets will continue to come home (although not necessarily every day), but we are winding down to enjoy the end of a truly wonderful year! Keep reading every night and working on iReady.

I had such a wonderful and special Teacher Appreciation week. All of the flowers, treats and cards were so thoughtful and it was fun being showered with all my favorite things. Thank you all for making me feel so appreciated and valued! I really think I have the BEST job and I truly enjoy coming to work each day!

To coordinate with the final Book Fair of the school year, we will be hosting Camp Read-A-Lot Thursday, May 18th from 5:30-7:30. In addition to extended Book Fair hours, there will also be literacy-focused games and activities.
Our class’ “Music Show and Tell” date will also be on Thursday, May 18th during our regular Specials time (9:45-10:25). Students can bring in instruments, pianos books, or their own music. Ms. Buckley is allowing iPods and iPads for electronic music, but HIGHLY recommends CDs instead since they have a lower replacement value if something were to happen. If students plan to have the class listen to a song from the radio, that song needs to be pre-approved. Instruments, singing a cappella (meaning no background music), books, and kid songs do not need to be approved.
