End of Year Reminders

It is hard to believe the end of year is here!  The kids are busy in class finishing up projects, writing fun and adventurous realistic fiction stories, reading every Henry and Mudge story they can get their hands on and working with bigger and bigger numbers in math.  


I wanted to remind you of some important dates that are coming up.  In April I posted a save the date for the portfolio share and that is coming up on June 10th.  Sunday, your child will bring home a form for you to fill out and return on Monday with further details about the portfolio share.  Our Grade One end of year celebration will be on the last day of school, June 13th.  You will be hearing more about that from the room parents soon.

It is also the time of year to round up any and all school library materials and classroom library materials that may have found their way onto your child's bookshelf.



To re-cap:

LAST WEEK OF ASA is THIS WEEK
