Have a great summer everyone and thanks for coming on this learning journey with us!!

Week of June 24

Monday: Student portfolios come home.  Please take the time to look through these and celebrate your child's growth with them this year.  Portfolios are the evidence of what your child has been able to demonstrate after the discussions, activities and practice that we do in class.  They reflect what you will see for marks on your child's report cards 

Tuesday:  We planted tomatoes in class (some of these seeds were brought to space too!)7- these baby plants are ready to go home.  If you have a home for them please send a cup or other small container to help your child to transport these delicate young plants home.  

Wednesday:  Locker clean out - All items besides a pencil case are coming home.  Please send your child with an extra reusable bag and consider picking them up if needed.
