Well, this will be my last blog for the year. This week we are wrapping up testing, reviewing and practicing notable skills in math; such as, graphing, patterning, addition, subtraction, and time; and concluding our study of Mem Fox. In Writers Workshop we will be trying to complete whatever books are currently unfinished. Next week will be a week of fun summer books and activities.

I want to thank all of you for lending me your children each day and making this a wonderful school year. We have really grown closer as a a class and as friends. The growth I have seen academically has been in leaps and bounds.  The students have really worked hard and it shows. Thanks to all of you for reading with them each night, getting their homework done, and all the other many things you have done. I truly believe the old saying, “It takes a village…” I pray each day that God will give me the knowledge and compassion to do my part.

I hope you all have a super summer and remember: DO NOT stop reading over the summer! For some, this could cause big setbacks. Keep reading and writing so that next year will start off great. Again, have a wonderful summer and I’m sure I’ll see many of you around!
