Hello,

So far the weather looks good for our walking field trip! On Friday make sure students have comfortable walking shoes and are dressing for the weather. It is a fun field trip to end our year!

This week I will start collecting all of the books that have been sent home. If you could please check around the house for books that were sent from school, that’d be very helpful. I will not be sending home reading or math homework for the remainder of the year, the homework will be to check for those missing books! Thanks!

Upcoming Events:
5/29: Dress like an animal or bring in your favorite stuffed animal
5/30: Dress like you’re going on a vacation
5/31: Enjoy yourself-- dress in something you love
5/31: Field Trip: Walking trip around Kaukauna
6/3: Dress like a character from a fairy tale
6/4: Field Day, dress active for field day
6/5: NDLC wear or neon day
6/5: Early Release: Last Day of School

Reading: This week we will be talking about who our reading partners can be over the summer.  We will also be making reading life posters.  At home you could make a reading plan.  When will reading time be at home? Do you plan to visit the library?  Maybe you will read a book as a family.  I hope that you will continue to keep reading alive over the summer!

Writing: In writing we are going to continue our writing projects. Students are teaching their lessons. They have been doing great! They are teaching the lesson, conferencing with students, and creating a share at the end of the lesson. Each day we have been beginning a new piece of writing.  At the end of the week we will have 5 pieces that are started.  They are excited to bring them home and finish them over the summer. 

Math: In math this week we are going to be finishing up our end of year test. We will also explore all the different areas in math and create a math game to play together.

Social Studies: We are going to create a map of our walk on Friday. We will also prepare for our field trip by creating a memory game to play with the residents at Kindred Hearts.
