  Hello families!  As we wrap up this school year, I would like to extend my dearest gratitude for all of your support from home this year. It has been an incredible year, and it has been great seeing all of these kids grow so much. Your help building a school/home connection has made this growth possible. This is such a wonderful and special group of kids and I am beyond lucky to have had a part in their education journey. I will miss them a lot, but will love seeing them lead the school as fifth graders! I hope you have a wonderful summer break.  Kiwanis:   The plan is to walk to Kiwanis on Tuesday from 9:00-11:00, weather permitting. Due to the construction there, we're not sure what we will be able to do. The playground structure and surrounding area are fenced off. We will drive down there on Monday to assess and make a final decision, so you will receive an email tomorrow. If we do go to Kiwanis, students may bring tennis rackets, kickball/baseball/softball equ...

  The kids did so well on NWEA! I am very proud of them for all of their hard work.  End of Year Countdown:  We created an ABC Countdown with fun activities/dress up days to end the year.  Here is a link  to the activities! Tomorrow, students can bring an outdoor toy to use at recess. They can also choose to wear neon to make up for Friday :)  Math:  Last week, we completed lessons 13-16. This week, we will take the lesson assessment and start Unit 8.  Additional practice at home using IXL Textbook or Diagnostics will be very beneficial for students.
