IMPORTANT DATES/REMINDERS

Just a few notes about the next few weeks.

Hello,

I just wanted to let everyone know that we will no longer have homework or spelling tests for the remainder of the year. As our schedules become full, and the weather nice (sometimes) I know it is hard to find the time to ensure that the homework is getting done.

Here are some other dates/events to be aware of as our year winds down:

• Please continue to practice reading the lines from our play with fluency and accuracy
• This Wednesday (May 15^th) your child may bring a stuffed animal to school. We once again filled the “Positive Behavior” marble jar and are celebrating with a stuffed animal buddy.
• May 24th is a no school day because it was added in as a snow day that we did not use. We are also out of school on Monday, May 27^th in observance of Memorial Day. (I incorrectly stated the date as the 23 on an earlier email).
• May 31^st is a Student Store and Spirit Day, with the theme of Mixed Match Day. Wear a mixed up outfit or unmatched socks and shoes.
• June 5^th…class play in room 413 at 9:00, 10:00, and 10:45. Parents, grandparents, and younger siblings that can sit quietly are invited to attend. The play lasts about 15 minutes.
• Challenger Bingo night is June 7^th from 5:30-7:30
• Wednesday, June 12 is the 2^nd Grade Lunch Picnic at King County Park from 10:00-12:00. Parents and younger siblings are invited to join us. Please be sure to send a sack lunch with your child.
• June 13^th will be Yearbook signing and game hour during our afternoon time
• Field Day is on Friday, June 14^th from 12:45-2:15. Also, our 2^nd grade Read-in will be sometime that morning
• June 18^th is our last day with dismissal at 11:00

Thank you to my wonderful classroom community for showering me with gifts and well wishes during Teacher Appreciation week. I am so lucky to have a great group of students and parents.

While it may look like we have nothing but fun planned for the remainder of the year, I do want you to know that we will be working hard on curriculum through the last day of school.  As late as it may seem, we have just started our Desert Unit with an emphasis on text features, plant and animal adaptations, and comparing and contrasting fiction and nonfiction desert books.

We will be listening to Rainforest Reports this week and probably into the next week as well.

Have a good week,

Lisa Clark
