Dear families,

Here is more info for the end of school:

 •All leveled library books are now due.
Homework will still be coming home as usual this week. Friday will be the final day to turn in homework. After that I will not be able to count it on the progress reports.
• The second grade teachers have made an end of level test for math and language. We will be giving those at the end of this week. It will be a good indicator of what your child has learned this year. Please be sure your child is here on Thursday and Friday for these tests.

FINAL WEEK:
Monday= Crazy Hair day
         We will be working on the scenery for our puppet plays.
         We will be having our supply and demand lesson-auctioning off class books
         using homework coupons as currency. The more currency the kids have   earned, the better chance they have of “buying” the book they want.
Tuesday= Crazy Socks day
         We will be finishing up any loose ends and projects.
         We will let the kids plan our last day --- scary!
Wednesday= Cleaning day
         Have the kids wear grubby clothes. We will be hauling desks and chairs outside to scrub down and squirt off. (The kids just might end up a tad wet.)
         Then we’ll start on the inside tables, game shelves, etc.
Thursday= Field day
         Have the kids dress for the weather. We’ll be outside most of the day. 
         Water bottles, sunscreen, and hats are advisable.
         I will be sending home the kids’ portfolios this day. Watch for them. They      have worked hard all year on them.
         Mr. Oldroyd usually has us send the progress card this day, also.
Friday= Meet the teacher day
         In the morning the children will go to their next year’s teacher’s classroom    to meet him/her.
         Following that, we’ll spend the day as the children have planned.
         School ends one hour early at 2:30.
HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!!!  THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME BE A PART OF YOUR CHILD’S LIFE FOR A FEW MONTHS.
