Last Days to Note

Hello Everyone!

Can you believe there are only 8 days of school left?! Where has the time gone! Here are some important dates and information to note for the end of the year:

Thursday, June 1st - Field Day
Grades 3-5 Field Day is TOMORROW! Please have your student WEAR sneakers and an outfit OK for getting wet. Students may wear one-piece swim suits with shorts (girls), swim trunks with a shirt (boys), water-wear tops such as swim/surf shirts, etc.
Please also pack a change of clothes and a towel for your student! We will be ending with water stations, and will need to change after coming in from field day. Don't forget to pack different socks/shoes also, as the ones from the morning WILL be wet!

Friday, June 2nd
- Science test on Energy
- Volunteer Breakfast in Cafeteria
- FLIP open a good book, FLOP down and read: This is an OUTDOOR reading time! Please send your student with a towel or blanket and sunglasses (if they'd like), to read outside!

Wednesday, June 7th
- Class party! If you have not already, please return your child's pizza permission slip and $5. We will have a movie/pizza lunch, recess and yearbook signing time, and a special treat from our room parents!

Friday, June 9th
- Last day of school!
As a note, I will start sending home a few things at a time with your student throughout the last week so they will not need to carry everything home on the last day.

Friday, June 16th
-Last Day to order School Supplies through School Kits! Go to the website: http://www.shopttkits.com/ and enter our school code: 12575 to order your kit for next year!


Happy last days of school!

Hello! I hope everyone is doing well and that you are using some of this warm weather to get outside!
A few notes/things I want to share with you. Please see my email as well – there is more important information for Parent Eyes Only in there!
 
SOL Dates Reminder:
Reading SOL – May 9th & May 10th
Math SOL – May 18th & 19th
**All of our SOL tests are in the Morning, so it is very unlikely that your student will need to stay after school to finish their test!
SOL Vocab List This Week:
You may have noticed your students new word list last night – this list is a compilation of all the frequently missed words on the previous quizzes. There are 12 words. Students are still not expected to spell them on their own; however, they DO need to know what the word means and how to answer a question that uses that word! The quiz will be on Friday.
This will be the last week of SOL Vocab word lists.
 
 
Fidgets: Keep them at home!
As you may or may not know, Fidgets are a new “hot” item for students. These fidgets are meant to be used as tools to help students concentrate if they are unable to focus on tasks, have anxiety, or otherwise need an adaptation to help them successfully navigate the school day.
Fidgets have increasingly become a distraction and are being used as toys in our classroom. As such, Fidgets are no longer allowed unless previously discussed and decided on by parent and teacher communication. Please keep them at home!
*As a note, fidgets are not allowed in the SOL testing environments.
