Wow, LAST week!! Is it for real??
I'm crossing my fingers that it's not raining Tuesday morning when we have planned to go to the park. Assuming we go, please ensure that students are dressed for the weather and have sunscreen already applied. Hats and water bottles are important, in addition to a regular lunch and snacks.
Students may bring a game, colouring and/or outdoor equipment with them so long as they can manage it on their own during the walk to and from the park. Please do not allow students to bring money, electronics or other valuables.
We will be leaving school shortly after attendance so please be on time for school. We will return just after our picnic lunch.
At the end of the day (still on Tuesday), students will receive their report cards so be sure to look for that. Please celebrate your student's accomplishments first. Everyone has worked hard and made good progress this year - looking at their stories last week, I really can't believe how much their writing has changed since the beginning of the year. It makes me super proud! Later, think about what area you might be able to work on at home over the summer. Learning skills are a very important area that parents can easily help with, no matter which language you speak. I think I've already said enough about how I feel about summer reading.... :)
I think we are still missing some borrow-a-books from our drawers. Please have another look around just in case there are any hiding amongst your own books. Thanks again for all the reading work you've done. This has been a very successful reading year for our class!
Enjoy this last week sans-children!
